Q: Cindy had 20 marbles which is 5 more than what Lisa had. If Cindy gave her 12 marbles, how many more marbles does Lisa have now?
A: Lisa had 20 - 5 = 15 marbles. Since Cindy gave 12 marbles, then she only has 20 - 12 = 8 marbles left. Since Lisa received 12 marbles, then Lisa has 15 + 12 = 27 marbles now. Hence, Lisa has 27 - 8 = 19 marbles more than Cindy. The answer is 19.

Q: Ariana is past due on three bills. The first bill for $200 charges 10% simple interest for each overdue month and it's 2 months overdue. The second bill for $130 charges a flat $50 late fee per month and is 6 months overdue. The last bill is two months late and charges a $40 fee the first month overdue and twice that fee the second month overdue and is for $444. How much does Ariana owe in total?
A: First find the monthly late fee for the first bill: $200 * 10% = $20. Then multiply that by the number of months the bill is overdue: $20 / month * 2 months = $40. Then find the total late fee for the second bill the same way: $50 / month * 6 months = $300. Then find the third bill's second late fee: 2 * $40 = $80. Then add all the bill amounts and late fees to find the total cost: $40 + $200 + $300 + $130 + $40 + $80 + $444 = $1234. The answer is 1234.

Answer: Gertrude has 10 fleas and Olive has half that amount so Olive has 10 / 2 = 5 fleas. Maud has 5 times the amount of fleas as Olive who has 5 fleas so Maud has 5 * 5 = 25 fleas. Gertrude has 10 fleas, Maud has 25 fleas and Olive has 5 for a total of 10 + 25 + 5 = 40 fleas. The answer is 40.
Q: On a shopping trip in a crowded store, Josie had to wait 3 minutes for a cart, 13 minutes for an employee to unlock a cabinet to get her a product, 14 minutes for a stocker to restock a shelf with what she wanted, and 18 minutes in line to check out. Her shopping trip took an hour and a half. How many minutes did Josie spend shopping instead of waiting?
A:
There are 60 minutes in an hour, so the trip took 1 1 / 2 * 60 = 90 minutes. Josie spent 3 + 13 + 14 + 18 = 48 minutes waiting. Thus, she spent 90 - 48 = 42 minutes shopping. The answer is 42.
