Question: The Lion King cost 10 million to make and earned 200 million at the box office. If it earned a profit that was half of what Star Wars made and Star Wars cost 25 million to make, how many millions did Star Wars earn?
Answer: The Lion King made 190 million in profit because 200 - 10 = 190. Star Wars made 380 in profit because 190 x 2 = 380. Star Wars earned 405 million because 25 + 380 = 405. The answer is 405.

[Question]Tree Elementary School is raising money for a new playground. Mrs. Johnson’s class raised $2300, which is twice the amount that Mrs. Sutton’s class raised. Mrs. Sutton’s class raised 8 times less than Miss Rollin’s class. Miss Rollin’s class raised a third of the total amount raised by the school. How much money did the school raise for the playground if 2% will be deducted for administration fees?
[Answer]Find the amount Mrs. Sutton’s class raised by dividing $2300 by 2. $2300 / 2 = $1150. Find the amount Miss Rollin’s class raised by multiplying $1150 by 8. $1150 x 8 = $9200. Multiply $9200 by 3 to find the total amount raised. $9200 x 3 = $27600. Convert 2% to decimal. 2 / 100 = 0.02. Multiply $27600 by 0.02 to find the administration fees. $27600 x 0.02 = $552. Subtract the administration fee from the total amount raised. $27600 - $552 = $27048. The answer is 27048.
[Question]Janice adds 2 tablespoons of koolaid power and 16 tablespoons of water to a jug. She leaves it out long enough for 4 tablespoons of water to evaporate. Then she quadruples the amount of water in the jug. What percentage of the liquid in the jug is koolaid powder?
[Answer]
First find how many tablespoons of water are left after the evaporation: 16 tbs - 4 tbs = 12 tbs. Then multiply this number by 4 to find how much water is in the jug after Janice refills it: 12 tbs * 4 = 48 tbs. Now add the 2 tablespoons of koolaid powder to find the total volume of the liquid in the jug: 48 tbs + 2 tbs = 50 tbs. Now divide the volume of the koolaid powder by the total volume and multiply by 100% to find the percentage of the liquid that's koolaid: 2 tbs / 50 tbs * 100% = 4%. The answer is 4.
