[Question]James is a first-year student at a University in Chicago. He has a budget of $1000 per semester. He spends 30% of his money on food, 15% on accommodation, 25% on entertainment, and the rest on coursework materials. How much money does he spend on coursework materials?
[Answer]Accommodation is 15% * $1000 = $150. Food is     30% * $1000 = $300. Entertainment is  25% * $1000 = $250. Coursework materials are thus $1000 - ($150 + $300 + $250) = $300. The answer is 300.

[Question]Basil gets 1/2 of a dog cookie in the morning and before bed. She gets 2 whole cookies during the day. Basil’s cookies are packaged with 45 cookies per box. How many boxes will she need to last her for 30 days?
[Answer]
Basil gets 1 / 2 in the morning and 1 / 2 at bedtime so she gets 1 / 2 + 1 / 2 = 1 whole cookie. Basil also gets 2 whole cookies during the day so all total she gets 2 + 1 = 3 whole cookies. She needs cookies for 30 days and eats 3 a day so she needs 30 * 3 = 90 cookies. Her cookies come 45 per box and she needs 90 cookies so she needs 90 / 45 = 2 boxes of cookies. The answer is 2.
