[Question]Mike gets paid 100 dollars a week. He decides to spend half of that at an arcade. He spends 10 dollars at the arcade on food and uses the rest on arcade tokens. He can play for 1 hour for $8. How many minutes can he play?
[Answer]He spent 100 * .5 = $50 at the arcade. He uses 50 - 10 = $40 on tokens. He can play 40 / 8 = 5 hours. There are 60 minutes in an hour so he can play 5 * 60 = 300 minutes. The answer is 300.
Q: Jennifer's boyfriend left 5 texts about the grocery shopping, 5 times more texts asking why she wasn't responding, and a number of texts equal to 10% of all the texts he sent previously saying he was calling the police. How many texts did he send total?
A: First find how many texts Jennifer's boyfriend sent asking why she wasn't responding: 5 texts * 5 = 25 texts. Then add that number to the number of grocery shopping texts: 25 texts + 5 texts = 30 texts. Then multiply that number by 10% to find how many texts he sent about calling the police: 30 texts * 10% = 3 texts. Then added how many texts of each kind he sent to find the total number of texts he sent: 3 texts + 30 texts = 33 texts. The answer is 33.

[Question]There are 30 major league baseball stadiums. Zach has a goal to take his son to see at least one game at each one. He has calculated the average cost for them to travel and see a game will be $900 per stadium. Zach can save $1,500 per year for his baseball stadium trips. How many years will it take Zach to accomplish his goal?
[Answer]The total cost would be $900 x 30 stadiums = $27,000. Dividing the total cost by the amount Zach saves per year, we get $27,000 / $1,500 / year = 18 years. The answer is 18.
