Q: The price of candy bars is twice the cost of caramel, and the cost of cotton candy is half the price of 4 candy bars. If the price of 1 caramel is $3, how much do 6 candy bars, 3 caramel, and 1 cotton candy cost together?
A: The candy bars each cost $3 * 2 = $6. The cotton candies each cost 1 / 2 * (4 * $6) = $12. 6 candy bars cost 6 bars * $6 / bar = $36. 3 caramels cost 3 caramels * $3 / caramel = $9. All the candies together cost $36 + $9 + $12 = $57. The answer is 57.
Question: Louis is making himself a velvet suit for a formal event. The velvet fabric he chose was $24 per yard. He bought a pattern for $15, and two spools of silver thread for $3 each. If he spent $141 for the pattern, thread, and fabric, how many yards of fabric did he buy?
Answer: Let V be the number of yards of velvet fabric Louis bought. The silver thread cost 2 * 3 = $6. He spent 24V + 15 + 6 = $141 on the suit. The fabric cost 24V = 141 - 15 - 6 = $120. Thus, Louis bought V = 120 / 24 = 5 yards of fabric. The answer is 5.
[Question]There were 200 students on a field playing football. Suddenly a military plane flew by, and 3/4 of the students looked up. How many eyes saw the airplane?
[Answer]If there were 200 students on the field and 3 / 4 of the students looked up at the flying plane, 3 / 4 * 200 = 150 students saw the plane. Since each student has two eyes, the number of eyes that looked at the plane is 2 * 150 = 300 years. The answer is 300.
Q: Micheal decided to take some piano lessons. One lesson costs $30 and lasts for 1.5 hours. How much will Micheal need to pay for 18 hours of lessons?

Answer: First find the time Matt spends cleaning the inside of his car: 80 minutes / 4 = 20 minutes. Then add that time to the time he spends cleaning the outside to find his total cleaning time: 20 minutes + 80 minutes = 100 minutes. The answer is 100.
Q: Remi wants to drink more water. He has a refillable water bottle that holds 20 ounces of water. That week Remi refills the bottle 3 times a day and drinks the whole bottle each time except for twice when he accidentally spills 5 ounces the first time and 8 ounces the second time. In 7 days how many ounces of water does Remi drink?
A:
Remi drinks the same amount of water every day for a week except for when he spills some of it. His water bottle holds 20 ounces which he drinks 3 times a day, 20 x 3 = 60 ounces a typical day. Over 7 days, without spilling anything, Remi drinks 60 ounces x 7 days = 420 ounces. Except Remi spills 8 + 5 ounces of water during the week = 13 ounces of water Remi spills. Total, Remi drinks 420 ounces - 13 ounces of spilled water = 407 ounces Remi drank during the week. The answer is 407.
