Question: Lawrence worked 8 hours each day on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. He worked 5.5 hours on both Wednesday and Thursday. How many hours would Lawrence work each day if he worked the same number of hours each day?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: 8 hours * 3 = 24 hours. 5.5 * 2 = 11 hours. 24 + 11 = 35 hours. 35 / 7 = 5 hours. Lawrence would work 5 hours each of the 7 days in a week.
So the answer is 5.


Question: Jack is mad at his neighbors for blasting Taylor Swift all night, so he slashes three of their tires and smashes their front window. If the tires cost $250 each and the window costs $700, how much will Jack have to pay for the damages?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: First find the total cost of the tires: $250 / tire * 3 tires = $750. Then add that amount to the cost of the window to find the total cost: $700 + $750 = $1450.
So the answer is 1450.


Question: In one of the teacher's meetings, it was agreed that each class will contribute $90 for a school activity. The class of Miss Evans has $14 class funds and they decided to use it to lessen the contribution of each student. If the remaining amount will be divided among 19 students, how much will each student contribute?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
The 19 students will divide equally the remaining $90 - $14 = $76. So, each student will contribute $76 / 19 students = $4 / student.
So the answer is 4.
