[Question]Five friends eat at a fast-food chain and order the following: 5 pieces of hamburger that cost $3 each; 4 sets of French fries that cost $1.20; 5 cups of soda that cost $0.5 each; and 1 platter of spaghetti that cost $2.7. How much will each of them pay if they will split the bill equally?
[Answer]The cost of 5 pieces of hamburger is $3 x 5 = $15. The cost of 4 sets of French fries is $1.20 x 4 = $4.80. The cost of 5 cups of soda is $0.5 x 5 = $2.50. So their total bill is $15 + $4.80 + $2.50 + $2.7 = $25. Hence, each of the five friends will contribute $25 / 5 = $5. The answer is 5.
Q: The age of Gladys is equal to twice the sum of the ages of Billy and Lucas. Billy is 3 times younger than Gladys who is 30 years old now. How old will Lucas be three years from now?
A: Billy's age is 30 / 3 = 10 years old. The sum of the ages of Billy and Lucas is 30 / 2 = 15. So, Lucas is 15 - 10 = 5 years old now. Therefore, Lucas will be 5 + 3 = 8 years old three years from now. The answer is 8.

Question: Marie has 4 notebooks with 20 stamps each. She also has two binders with 50 stamps each. If she decides to only keep 1/4 of the stamps, how many stamps can she give away?
Answer:
Marie has 4 x 20 = 80 stamps from her notebooks. And she has 2 x 50 = 100 stamps from her binders. So she has a total of 80 + 100 = 180 stamps. Marie decided to keep 180 x 1 / 4 = 45 stamps only. Therefore, she can give away 180 - 45 = 135 stamps. The answer is 135.
