Question: Tracy, Michelle, and Kati take a road trip that is a total of 1000 miles. Tracy drives 20 miles more than twice Michelle, and Michelle drives 3 times the amount that Katie drives. How many miles does Michelle drive?
Answer: Let x represent the number of miles Kati drives. Michelle:3x. Tracy:20 + 2(3x) = 20 + 6x. Total:x + 3x + 20 + 6x = 1000. 10x + 20 = 1000. 10x = 980. x = 98 miles. 3(98) = 294 miles. The answer is 294.

Q: If a tarantula has eight legs, and one tarantula egg sac can contain 1000 tarantulas, how many baby tarantula legs would be in one less than 5 egg sacs?
A: One less than 5 is 5 - 1 = 4. If one tarantula egg sac can contain 1000 tarantulas, then four egg sacs can hold 4 * 1000 = 4000 tarantula babies. If each tarantula baby has eight legs, the 4 egg sacs can contain 4000 * 8 = 32,000 baby tarantula legs. The answer is 32000.
Question: Nadia was sent to the flower shop to buy 20 roses and 3/4 times as many Lillies as roses. If roses cost $5 each and lilies cost twice as much each, calculate the total amount of money Nadia used to buy the flowers.
Answer: The total cost for roses is 20 * 5 = $100. Nadia bought 3 / 4 * 20 = 15 lilies. Each lily costs 5 * 2 = $10. She used 10 * 15 = $150 in total to buy lilies. To buy all the flowers, Nadia used 150 + 100 = $250. The answer is 250.
