Question: Gina is figuring out how much she'll have to spend on college this year. She's taking 14 credits that cost $450 each, and she has to pay $120 for each of her 5 textbooks plus a $200 facilities fee. How much will Gina spend in total?
Answer: First, find out how much will Gina pay for tuition by multiplying her number of credits by the cost per credit: 14 * 450 = $6300. Then find out how much she pays for textbooks by multiplying the number of books by the cost per book: 5 * 120 = $600. Finally, add up all Gina's costs to find the total of 6300 + 600 + 200 = $7100. The answer is 7100.
Q: Kantana loves chocolate. Every Saturday she goes to the candy store and buys 2 chocolates for herself and 1 for her sister. This last Saturday she picked up an additional 10 chocolates as a birthday gift for her friend Charlie. How many chocolates did Kantana end up buying for the month?
A:
There is 1 Saturday in a week and there are 4 weeks in a month so there are 1 * 4 = 4 Saturdays in a month (on average). If Kantana buys herself 2 chocolates every Saturday then this means she buys 2 * 4 = 8 chocolates for herself for the month. Kantana also buys her sister 1 chocolate on these trips so she is picking up an additional 1 * 4 = 4 additional chocolates for her sister for the month. Kantana decided to also purchase some chocolates for her friend Charlie for his birthday. She bought Charlie 10 chocolates. This means that for the month she bought 10 chocolates for Charlie, 4 chocolates for her sister, and 8 chocolates for herself, 10 + 4 + 8 = 22 chocolates bought in total for the month. The answer is 22.
