[Question]: Two friends, Hubert and Ian, are planning to have a pizza party. One box of pizza is worth $14, and a can of soda is worth $1.80. Hubert orders eight boxes of pizza and ten cans of soda. Ian buys ten boxes of pizza and fifteen cans of soda. How much do they spend in all?
[Answer]: The number of boxes of pizza is 8 + 10 = 18 boxes. The number of cans of soda is 10 + 15 = 25 cans. The eighteen boxes of pizza cost 18 x $14 = $252. The cost of 25 cans of soda is 25 x $1.80 = $45. Therefore, the total amount they spend is $252 + $45 = $297.
So the answer is 297.

[Question]: Brenda volunteered to make 3 trays of banana pudding for the family reunion. Each tray of banana pudding would need 80 wafer cookies. A box of wafer cookies only had 60 cookies per box. Each box costs $3.50. How much will it cost her to buy just enough boxes for 3 trays of banana pudding?
[Answer]: Every tray needs 80 cookies and she's making 3 trays so 8 * 3 = 240. Every box of cookies has 60 cookies. She needs 240 cookies so 240 / 60 = 4 boxes. The boxes cost $3.50 each and she needs 4 boxes so 3.50 * 4 = $14.00.
So the answer is 14.

[Question]: A rectangle has a length of 3 inches and a width of 6 inches. A square has a width of 5 inches. What is the difference in area between the two shapes?
[Answer]:
The area of the rectangle is 3 x 6 = 18 sq in. The area of the square is 5 x 5 = 25 sq in. The difference is 25 - 18 = 7 sq in.
So the answer is 7.
