Question: Mrs. Lim milks her cows twice a day. Yesterday morning, she got 68 gallons of milk and in the evening, she got 82 gallons. This morning, she got 18 gallons fewer than she had yesterday morning. After selling some gallons of milk in the afternoon, Mrs. Lim has only 24 gallons left. How much was her revenue for the milk if each gallon costs $3.50?
Answer: Mrs. Lim got 68 gallons - 18 gallons = 50 gallons this morning. So she was able to get a total of 68 gallons + 82 gallons + 50 gallons = 200 gallons. She was able to sell 200 gallons - 24 gallons = 176 gallons. Thus, her total revenue for the milk is $3.50 / gallon x 176 gallons = $616. The answer is 616.

Q: John buys 1/2 gallon jugs of cold brew coffee every 4 days. How many cups of coffee does he drink a day?
A: He drinks 128 / 2 = 64 ounces of coffee every 4 days. That means he drinks 64 / 4 = 16 ounces of coffee a day. So he drinks 16 / 8 = 2 cups a day. The answer is 2.
Question: Georgia is sick and coughs 5 times a minute. Her brother Robert is also sick but he coughs twice as much as her. After 20 minutes, how many times have they coughed?
Answer: Robert coughs twice as much as Georgia who coughs 5 times so Robert coughs 2 * 5 = 10 coughs per minute. Georgia coughs 5 times and Robert coughs 10 times so together they cough 5 + 10 = 15 times per minute. After 20 minutes they will have coughed 15 * 20 = 300 coughs. The answer is 300.
Q: Tina is getting $20 for each book she sells. If she realizes a $120 profit on her sales, how many people have she sold the books to if each book costs $5 to make and every customer buys 2 at a time?
A:
First, we need to determine the profit per book. To do this, we perform 20 - 5 = 15 dollars in profit per book. Next, we divide the total sales by the profit per book, performing 120 / 15 = 8 books sold in total. Since the books are sold 2 at a time, we divide the number sold by 2 to find the total number of people sold to, performing 8 / 2 = 4 people in total. The answer is 4.
