Q: Lucille is painting her room. Two of her walls are 3 meters wide and 2 meters tall. The third wall is 5 meters wide and 2 meters tall. The final wall is 4 meters wide and 2 meters tall. If each can of paint covers 2 square meters, how many cans of paint does Lucille need?
A: For the first set of walls, each wall covers 3 meters wide * 2 meters tall = 6 square meters. There are two of these walls, so this becomes a total of 6 meters * 2 walls = 12 square meters. The third wall covers 5 meters wide * 2 meters tall = 10 square meters. The final wall covers 4 meters wide * 2 meters tall = 8 square meters. So in total, the paint needs to cover 12 + 10 + 8 = 30 metres. Since each can covers 2 meters, Lucille needs 30 meters / 2 = 15 cans of paint. The answer is 15.
Question: Carl is hosting an open house for his new business. He knows 50 people will show up and hopes that another 40 people will randomly show up. He’s created 10 extravagant gift bags for the first 10 people who visit his shop. He’s made average gift bags for 20 people but needs to make enough for everyone who visits to have one. How many more bags does he need to make?
Answer: He knows 50 people are showing up and he’s hoping 40 more people will drop in for a total of 50 + 40 = 90 people. He’s made 10 extravagant gift bags and 20 average bags for a total of 10 + 20 = 30 bags. He hopes 90 people will show up and has already made 30 bags so he needs to make 90 - 30 = 60 more gift bags. The answer is 60.

[Question]A shop sells laptops at $600 each and a smartphone at $400. Celine buys two laptops and four smartphones for her children. How much change does she get back if she has $3000?
[Answer]
The cost of the two laptops is 2 x $600 = $1200. The cost of the four smartphones is 4 x $400 = $1600. Thus, the total cost of all the items is $1200 + $1600 = $2800. Therefore, Celine gets a change of $3000 - $2800 = $200. The answer is 200.
