Question: In a town, there is a multi-story parking lot, which has room for 425 cars. The parking lot has 5 levels, each of the same size. How many more cars can one level fit if there are already 23 parked cars on that level?
Answer: When all levels are empty, each level can fit 425 / 5 = 85 cars. When there are already 23 parked cars on a level, there is still a place for 85 - 23 = 62 cars. The answer is 62.
[Question]Madeline wants to plant 20 flowers in her garden. She assumes that about half of the seeds she plants will die before they bloom. However, the flower shop only sells packs of seeds with 25 seeds per pack. Each pack is $5. How much will Madeline spend on seeds to plant 20 flowers?
[Answer]Madeline needs to buy 2 * 20 = 40 seeds to make sure that she will have 20 flowers. Thus, Madeline will need to buy 2 packs of flowers to have at least 40 seeds. Thus, Madeline will spend 2 * 5 = $10 on seeds. The answer is 10.

[Question]Florida is starting a promotion where every car that arrives gets one orange per passenger. A family of 4 arrives and gets their oranges. They had planned to stop for a snack later where they would spend $15 in total, but now that they have the oranges they don't have to buy them at the stop. When they get to the stop they see that the oranges would've cost $1.5 each. What percentage of the money they planned to spend did they save instead?
[Answer]The oranges would've cost $6 because 4 x 1.5 = 6. The proportion of their original spending plan was .4 because 6 / 15 = .4. They saved 40% of the money they planned to spend because .4 x 100 = 40. The answer is 40.
[Question]A spider has eight legs. If a group of spiders has 10 more spiders than half as many legs as a single spider has, what is the total number of spider legs in this group of spiders?
[Answer]
Half as many legs as a single spider has is 8 / 2 = 4 legs. 10 more spiders than half as many legs as a single spider has is 4 + 10 = 14 spiders. The total number of spider legs in a group of 14 spiders is 8 * 14 = 112 spider legs. The answer is 112.
