Q: Last week, a farmer shipped 10 boxes of pomelos which had 240 pomelos in all. This week, the farmer shipped 20 boxes. How many dozens of pomelos did the farmer ship in all?
A: There were 240 / 10 = 24 pomelos in a box. This means that each box has 24 / 12 = 2 dozens of pomelos since 1 dozen is equal to 12. The farmer shipped a total of 10 + 20 = 30 boxes. Thus, the farmer shipped a total of 30 x 2 = 60 dozens of pomelos. The answer is 60.

[Question]Marsha works as a delivery driver for Amazon. She has to drive 10 miles to deliver her first package, 28 miles to deliver her second package, and half that long to deliver her third package. If she gets paid $104 for the day, how many dollars does she get paid per mile?
[Answer]First find how far Marsha drives to deliver the third package: 28 miles / 2 = 14 miles. Then find how many miles she drives total by adding the miles for the three legs of her journey: 14 miles + 28 miles + 10 miles = 52 miles. Then divide her total pay by the number of miles she drives to find her pay per mile: $104 / 52 miles = $2 / mile. The answer is 2.

Q: Connor wanted to order some new books to read. The website was offering free shipping over $50.00. They also had a deal that when you buy 4 books; the first two were 25% off. Book 1 cost 13.00 and Book 2 cost 15.00. Book 3 & 4 were both $10.00 each. How much more money did Connor need to spend to receive free shipping?
A:
Book 1 was $12.50 and book 2 was $15.00 so 13.00 + 15.00 = $28.00. He was buying 4 books, so these 2 were 25% off so 28.00 * .25 = $7.00. These two books came out to 28 - 7 = $21.00. Books 3 & 4 were both $10 each so 2 * 10 = $20.00. When you add all 4 books together, 21 + 20 = $41.00. To get free shipping he would need to spend 50 - 41 = $9.00 more on books. The answer is 9.
