Q: Jack collects all his neighbors' recycling and sorts out the cans and bottles to return for the deposit. He gets 10 cents per bottle and 5 cents per can. If he recycled 80 bottles and made $15, how many cans did he recycle?
A: First find the total amount Jack earned from the bottles: $0.10 / bottle * 80 bottles = $8.00. Then subtract that amount from his total earnings to find the amount he earned from cans: $15.00 - $8.00 = $7.00. Then divide his total earnings from cans by his earnings per can to find the number of cans he recycled: $7.00 / $0.05 / can = 140 cans. The answer is 140.

[Question]Sam is twice as old as Sue. Kendra is 3 times as old as Sam. If Kendra is currently 18, what will be their total age in 3 years?
[Answer]Sam is currently 18 / 3 = 6 years old. Sue is currently 6 / 2 = 3 years old. In three years, Sue will be 3 + 3 = 6. In three years, Same will be 6 + 3 = 9. In three years, Kendra will be 18 + 3 = 21. Their total age in three years is 6 + 9 + 21 = 36. The answer is 36.

Question: Dakota gets hit by a bus and has to spend 3 days in the hospital. The hospital charges her $900/day for her bed, $250/hour for two specialists to look at her 15 minutes each, and $1800 for the ambulance ride. How much is Dakota's medical bill?
Answer: First find the total cost of the hospital bed by multiplying the cost per day by the number of days: $900 / day * 3 days = $2700. Then figure out how many minutes total the two specialists looked at Dakota: 15 minutes / specialist * 2 specialists = 30 minutes. Then divide the number of minutes by the number of minutes per hour and multiply it by the specialists' hourly rate to find their total charge: 30 minutes / 60 minutes / hour * $250 / hour = $125. Finally, add up the cost of the specialists, ambulance and bed to find Dakota's total bill: $2700 + $1800 + $125 = $4625. The answer is 4625.
