Question: John gets a new EpiPen every 6 months. They cost $500 and insurance covers 75%. How much does he pay per year?
Answer: He needs to buy 12 / 6 = 2 per year. Insurance covers 500 * .75 = $375. So he pays 500 - 375 = $125. So he pays 125 * 2 = $250. The answer is 250.

Q: Harry participates in the auction of a classic painting. The auction starts at $300, Harry is the first to bid, adding $200 to the starting value, a second bidder doubles the bid, and a third bidder adds three times Harry's bid. Finally, Harry bids $4,000. By how much did Harry's final bid exceed that of the third bidder?
A: Adding Harry's $200 to the initial value, the bid is at 300 + 200 = $500. The second bidder doubles the previous value, reaching a value of 500 * 2 = $1000. The third bidder adds three times the value of Harry's, then adds 500 * 3 = $1500. Adding the $1500 to the value of the second bid, the bid is at 1500 + 1000 = $2500. With the final bid of $4000, Harry bids 4000 - 2500 = $1500 more than the third bidder. The answer is 1500.

[Question]There are 92 students altogether. Twenty of them ride the school bus home together, 5/8 of the remaining ride their own bike home, and the rest whose houses are near the school walk home. How many students are walking home?
[Answer]If there are 92 students and 20 students take the bus home, the number of students who haven't taken the bus is 92 - 20 = 72 students. 5 / 8 of the students who didn't take the bus home ride bikes home, a total of 5 / 8 * 72 = 45 students. The number of students who neither took the bus nor biked home but walked home is 72 - 45 = 27. The answer is 27.
