Q: Christopher uses 1 packet of a sugar substitute in his coffee. He has 2 coffees a day. The packets come 30 to a box and cost $4.00 a box. How much will it cost him to have enough sugar substitutes to last him 90 days?
A: He uses 1 packet per cup of coffee and he has 2 cups a day so that's 1 * 2 = 2 packets. He wants enough to last him 90 days and he uses 2 packets a day so that's 90 * 2 = 180 packets. The packets come 30 to a box and he needs 180 packets so that's 180 / 30 = 6 boxes of sugar substitute. Each box costs $4.00 and he needs 6 boxes so that's 4 * 6 = $24.00. The answer is 24.
Question: Edmonton is 220 kilometers north of Red Deer. Calgary is 110 kilometers south of Red Deer. If you travel at 110 kilometers per hour, how long will it take to get from Edmonton to Calgary?

[Question]A school is getting ready to open for the year and the sports class is organizing the equipment they have been donated. In total, they have 300 donations to organize. 60 of these were basketball hoops, half of which also had basketballs included as part of the donation. 120 pool floats were donated, but a quarter of these were damaged and were discarded before the sports class arrived. There were 50 footballs, 40 tennis balls, and the remaining donations were basketballs. In total, how many basketballs have been donated?
[Answer]Some of the pool floats were damaged, which means that 120 / 4 = 30 pool floats were discarded. This left the class with 120 – 30 = 90 pool floats that were actually part of the donations they need to organize. This means there were a total of 60 basketball hoops + 90 pool floats + 50 footballs + 40 tennis balls = 240 donations that were not basketballs. So out of the donations, there were 300 donations – 240 = 60 basketballs. In addition, half of the basketball hoops were donated with a basketball included which amounts to 60 basketball hoops / 2 = 30 basketballs. There was therefore a total of 60 + 30 = 90 basketballs donated. The answer is 90.
[Question]Kira is making breakfast for herself. She fries 3 sausages then scrambles 6 eggs and cooks each item of food separately. If it takes 5 minutes to fry each sausage and 4 minutes to scramble each egg then how long, in minutes, did it take for Kira to make her breakfast?
[Answer]
The sausages take 5 minutes per sausage * 3 sausages = 15 minutes to cook. The eggs take 4 minutes per egg * 6 eggs = 24 minutes to cook. So in total, it takes 15 minutes for sausages + 24 minutes for eggs = 39 minutes to cook breakfast. The answer is 39.
