Question: Phill had some friends over for pizza. He opens the pizza box and discovers it hasn't been sliced. Phill cuts the pizza in half, and then cuts both halves in half, and then cuts each slice in half again. Phill then passes out 1 slice to 3 of his friends and 2 slices to 2 of his friends. How many slices of pizza are left for Phill?
Answer: Phill starts with 1 pizza, cutting it in half. This means he now has 1 * 2 = 2 slices of pizza. He cuts each of these 2 slices in half, meaning he now has 2 * 2 = 4 slices of pizza. He then cuts these in half again, meaning he now has 4 * 2 = 8 slices of pizza. Phill hands out 2 slices to 2 of his friends, meaning he gave out 2 * 2 = 4 slices. He hands out 1 slice to 3 others, so the total amount of slices handed out are 3 + 4 = 7 slices. Since Phill started with 8 slices, this means he has 8 - 7 = 1 slice remaining. The answer is 1.
[Question]At Kaleb's Restaurant, a group with six adults and two children came in to eat. If each adult meal cost six dollars and each children's meal was $4, and every person ordered a soda for $2 how much was the bill?

Question: Mrs. Thomson received an incentive worth $240. She spent 1/3 of the money on food and 1/5 of it on clothes. Then, she put in her savings account 3/4 of the remaining money. How much money did Mrs. Thomson save?
Answer: Mrs. Thomson spent $240 x 1 / 3 = $80 on food. She spent $240 x 1 / 5 = $48 on clothes. So she spent a total of $80 + $48 = $128 on food and clothes. Hence, she had $240 - $128 = $112 left after buying food and clothes. Then, Mrs. Thomson saved $112 x 3 / 4 = $84. The answer is 84.
