Question: Casey is going to stay at a motel while she works her summer job as a ski instructor. The hotel charges $280/week or $1000/month. If Casey will be staying 3 months, each with exactly 4 weeks, how much money does she save by paying monthly?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: First find the number of weeks Casey stays: 3 months * 4 weeks / month = 12 weeks. Then multiply that number by the weekly rate to find how much she would pay weekly: 12 weeks * $280 / week = $3360. Then multiply the number of months she stays by the monthly rate to find how much she pays monthly: $1000 / month * 3 months = $3000. Then subtract that number from the total amount she pays if she pays weekly to find her savings: $3360 - $3000 = $360.
So the answer is 360.


Question: Janna sleeps 7 hours each day during weekdays and 8 hours each day during weekends. How many hours does she sleep in a week?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: She sleeps 7 * 5 = 35 hours on weekdays. She sleeps 8 * 2 = 16 hours on weekends. 35 + 16 = 51 hours is the amount of time she sleeps in a week.
So the answer is 51.


Question: Randy had some money. Smith gave him another $200. Randy then gave Sally $1,200 and kept the rest. If Randy has $2000 left, how much money, in dollars, did Randy have at first?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
After Smith gave him $200, Randy had 2000 + 1200 = 3200 dollars. Randy had 3200 - 200 = 3000 dollars at first.
So the answer is 3000.
