Question: Mike bought a DVD of his favorite movie. He paid $5 for it at the store. A friend of Mike's, Steve, saw this and also decided to buy a DVD of the movie, but it was already sold out. He needed to order it online, which cost him twice as much. And in addition, he needed to pay the shipping costs which were 80% of the price of the film he ordered. How much did Steve pay to get the DVD in total?
Answer: The cost of the movie online was twice what Mike paid, so 2 * 5 = $10. The shopping costs were standing at 80 / 100 * 10 = $8. So in total Steve paid 10 + 8 = $18. The answer is 18.
[Question]Ruth prepared sandwiches. She ate 1 sandwich and gave 2 sandwiches to her brother. Her first cousin arrived and ate 2 sandwiches. Then her two other cousins arrived and ate 1 sandwich each. There were 3 sandwiches left. How many sandwiches did Ruth prepare?
[Answer]Ruth's two cousins ate a total of 2 x 1 = 2 sandwiches. So there were 3 + 2 = 5 sandwiches left before her two cousins arrived. Before her first cousin arrived, there were 5 + 2 = 7 sandwiches. Ruth and her brother had 1 + 2 = 3 sandwiches altogether. Therefore, Ruth prepared 7 + 3 = 10 sandwiches.". The answer is 10.
Q: Paityn has 20 red hats and 24 blue hats. Her friend Zola has 4/5 times as many red hats as she has and twice the number of blue hats. If they combine all the hats together and share them equally between themselves, calculate the number of hats each gets.
A: Paityn has a total of 20 hats + 24 hats = 44 hats. The number of red hats that Zola has is 4 / 5 * 20 hats = 16 hats. Zola also has 2 * 24 hats = 48 blue hats. Zola has a total of 48 hats + 16 hats = 64 hats. When they combine their hats, they have 64 hats + 44 hats = 108 hats. If they share the hats equally, each get 108 hats / 2 people = 54 hats / person. The answer is 54.
