Q: Tim's cat bit him. He decided to get himself and the cat checked out. His doctor's visits $300 and insurance covered 75%. His cat's visit cost $120 and his pet insurance covered $60. How much did he pay?
A: The insurance covers 300 * .75 = $225. So he had to pay 300 - 225 = $75. The cats visit cost 120 - 60 = $60. So in total he paid 75 + 60 = $135. The answer is 135.
Question: Andy is a lawyer who's working on two lawsuits. The first lawsuit has a 30% chance of paying out $5,000,000 upon a win and $0 if he loses it. The second lawsuit has a 50% chance of paying out $1,000,000 if Andy loses and a 50% chance of paying out $2,000,000 if he wins. Expressed as a percentage, how much more likely is it that Andy loses both lawsuits compared to winning both of them?
Answer: First find the probability that Andy will lose the first lawsuit: 100% - 30% = 70%. Then multiply that probability by the probability he loses the second lawsuit: 70% * 50% = 35%. Then multiply the probabilities of Andy winning each lawsuit to find the probability he wins them both: 30% * 50% = 15%. Then subtract the probability Andy wins both lawsuits from the probability he loses both lawsuits to find the difference: 35% - 15% = 20%. The answer is 20.
[Question]Bill is stocking the kitchenware section of the Walmart. He needs to stack 60 pots. On each shelf, he can stack five pots vertically and three sets of vertically stacked pots side-by-side. How many shelves does he need to stock all the pots?
[Answer]First find how many pots fit on one shelf: 5 pots / set * 3 sets = 15 pots. Then divide the number of pots Bill has by the number that fit on each shelf: 60 pots / 15 pots / shelf = 4 shelves. The answer is 4.
Q: Stacy has 2 more than triple as many berries as Steve. Steve has one half as many berries as Skylar. If Skylar has 20 berries, how many berries does Stacy have?

Question: James is a first-year student at a University in Chicago. He has a budget of $1000 per semester. He spends 30% of his money on food, 15% on accommodation, 25% on entertainment, and the rest on coursework materials. How much money does he spend on coursework materials?
Answer: Accommodation is 15% * $1000 = $150. Food is     30% * $1000 = $300. Entertainment is  25% * $1000 = $250. Coursework materials are thus $1000 - ($150 + $300 + $250) = $300. The answer is 300.
Q: A bulk warehouse is offering 48 cans of sparkling water for $12.00 a case. The local grocery store is offering the same sparkling water for $6.00 and it only has 12 cans. How much more expensive, per can, in cents, is this deal at the grocery store?
A:
The bulk warehouse has 48 cans for $12.00 so that's 12 / 48 = $0.25 a can. The local grocery store has 12 cans for $6.00 so that's 6 / 12 = $0.50 a can. The grocery store offer is $0.50 a can and the warehouse is $0.25 a can so the grocery store is .50 - .25 = $0.25 more expensive per can. The answer is 25.
