[Question]A bear eats up to 90 pounds of food per day to prepare for hibernation. If Victor weighs 126 pounds, how many "Victors" worth of food would a bear eat in 3 weeks?
[Answer]There are 3 x 7 = 21 days in 3 weeks. In 3 weeks, a bear would eat 90 x 21 = 1890 pounds of food. A bear would eat 1890 / 126 = 15 "Victors" worth of food in 3 weeks. The answer is 15.
Q: Johnson has a sack of potatoes. He gives Gina 69 potatoes, gives Tom twice as much potatoes as he gave Gina and gives one-third of the amount of potatoes he gave Tom to Anne. How many potatoes does he have left if the sack contains 300 potatoes?
A: He gives twice 69 potatoes to Tom, which is 69 * 2 = 138 potatoes. He gives one - third of 138 potatoes to Anne, which is 138 * (1 / 3) = 46 potatoes. In total, he has given out 69 + 138 + 46 = 253 potatoes. He initially had 300 potatoes so he now has 300 - 253 = 47 potatoes left. The answer is 47.

Q: Pete and Raymond each receive $2.50 from their grandmother. Pete saves his money and only spends 4 nickels. Raymond spends his money at the arcade games but still has 7 dimes left. How much did Pete and Raymond spent altogether, in cents?
A: Pete spends 4 * 5 = 20 cents. Raymond has 7 * 10 = 70 cents left. Raymond spent 250 - 70 = 180 cents. Together, Pete and Raymond spent 20 + 180 = 200 cents. The answer is 200.
Question: Mia is buying Christmas gifts for her family. She has spent $30 on each of her 3 siblings, and the rest of her spending was for her parents. If Mia spent a total of $150 on Christmas gifts and each of her parents received gifts of equal value, how much money, in dollars, did she spend on each parent’s gift?
Answer:
Mia spent a total of $30 per siblings * 3 siblings = $90 on her siblings. She therefore spent $150 total spending - $90 spending on her siblings = $60 on her parents. As each parent received an equal amount, each parent’s gift cost $60 total spending on parents / 2 = $30. The answer is 30.
