[Question]Sean buys 3 cans of soda, 2 soups, and 1 sandwich. Each soup cost as much as the 3 combined sodas. The sandwich cost 3 times as much as the soup. If the soda cost $1 how much did everything cost together?
[Answer]The soda cost 3 * 1 = $3. So the soups cost 2 * 3 = $6. The sandwich cost 3 * 3 = $9. So the total cost of everything was 3 + 6 + 9 = $18. The answer is 18.

[Question]Kim loves to knit sweaters and can knit as many as 10 sweaters in a day if she gets the time. On a particular week, she knit 8 sweaters on Monday, 2 more sweaters on Tuesday than on Monday, 4 fewer sweaters on both Wednesday and Thursday than on Tuesday, and half the number of sweaters she had knit on Monday on Friday. Calculate the total number of sweaters she knit that week.
[Answer]If she knit 8 sweaters on Monday and 2 more on Tuesday, she knit 8 + 2 = 10 sweaters on Tuesday. The total number of sweaters she had knit on Monday and Tuesday is 10 + 8 = 18. On Wednesday, she knit four fewer sweaters than the number she knit on Tuesday, which totals 10 - 4 = 6 sweaters. By Wednesday, she had knit 18 + 6 = 24 sweaters. On Thursday, she knit the same number of sweaters she had knit on Thursday, giving a total of 24 + 6 = 30 sweaters. On Friday, she knit half the number of sweaters she had knit on Monday, which totals 1 / 2 * 8 = 4 sweaters on Friday. So far, she has knit 30 + 4 = 34 sweaters by Friday. The answer is 34.

[Question]Carl caused a car accident that resulted in $40,000 worth of property damage and $70,000 worth of medical bills. If Carl's insurance company will pay 80% of the costs, leaving Carl to pay the remaining 20%, how much does Carl personally owe?
[Answer]
First find the total cost of the accident: $40,000 + $70,000 = $110,000. Then multiply the total cost by the percentage Carl has to pay to find his personal cost: $110,000 * .2 = $22,000. The answer is 22000.
