[Question]The dog toys Samantha buys for her dog are "buy one get one half off" and all cost $12.00 each. She buys 4 toys. How much does she spend on dog toys?
[Answer]If she buys 1 toy at $12.00 she gets the 2nd toy 1 / 2 off, the 2nd toy is 12 * .5 = $6.00. 1 full - priced toy is $12.00 and 1 / 2 priced toy is $6.00 so these 2 toys come to 12 + 6 = $18.00. She buys 2 more toys that are "buy one get one 1 / 2 off" so all total she spends 2 * 18 = $36.00. The answer is 36.
Q: Mrs. Young makes bonnets for kids in the orphanage. On Monday, she made 10 bonnets, on Tuesday and Wednesday combined she made twice more than on Monday, while on Thursday she made 5 more than on Monday, and on Friday she made 5 less than on Thursday. Then, she divided up the bonnets evenly and sent them to 5 orphanages. How many bonnets did Mrs. Young send to each orphanage?
A: She made 10 x 2 = 20 bonnets on Tuesday and Wednesday. While on Thursday she made 10 + 5 = 15 bonnets. On Friday she made 15 - 5 = 10 bonnets. Mrs. Young made a total of 10 + 20 + 15 + 10 = 55 bonnets for the orphanage. Therefore, Mrs. Young sends 55 / 5 = 11 bonnets to each orphanage. The answer is 11.
Question: After trick-or-treating, Brent dumped his candy on the table. He had received 5 Kit-Kat bars, three times that amount in Hershey kisses, 8 boxes of Nerds, and 11 lollipops. He also had 10 Baby Ruths and half that amount in Reese Peanut butter cups. After giving his little sister 5 lollipops, how many pieces of candy did Brent have left?
Answer: He had 5 Kit - Kats and had 3 times that amount in Kisses so he had 5 * 3 = 15 Hershey kisses. He had 10 Baby Ruths and half that amount in Reese Peanut butter cups so he had 10 / 2 = 5 Reese Peanut Butter cups. He had 11 lollipops and gave 5 to his sister so he now had 11 - 5 = 6 lollipops. When you add up all of the candy, he had 5 Kit - Kats, 15 Hershey kisses, 10 Baby Ruths, 5 Reese cups, 8 Nerds and 6 lollipops so 5 + 15 + 10 + 5 + 8 + 6 = 49 pieces of candy. The answer is 49.

Q: A Burmese python that was 1.4 meters long swallowed a 50-centimeter alligator. After one week, the alligator was completely digested. If this snake continues to eat 50-centimeter-long alligators at a constant rate of one alligator per week, what is the maximum number of alligators that the snake can eat in 616 days?
A: Since one week is 7 days. 616 days is 616 / 7 = 88 weeks. Since the python eats 1 alligator per week, in 88 weeks it can eat 88 / 1 = 88 alligators. The answer is 88.
Question: Seth and his brother want to see their favorite band in concert. The tickets are $50.00 each. There is a 15% processing fee for the tickets. They are also charged $10.00 for parking and an additional $5.00 per person entrance fee. How much will it cost to go to the concert?
Answer:
The tickets are $50.00 each and they need 2 tickets so that's 50 * 2 = $100.00. There is a 15% processing fee for the tickets so that's 100 * .15 = $15.00. The tickets are $100.00 and the processing fee is $15.00 for a total of 100 + 15 = $115.00. There is a $5.00 per person entrance fee and there are 2 people so that's 5 * 2 = $10.00. The tickets are $115.00, parking is $10.00 and the entrance fee is $10.0 for a total of 115 + 10 + 10 = $135.00. The answer is 135.
