Answer this question:Tony paid $7 for 2 dozen apples and 1 bunch of bananas. Arnold paid $5 for 1 dozen apples and 1 bunch of bananas. How much does a bunch of bananas cost?
Tony paid $7 - $5 = $2 more than Arnold. We know he bought the same number of bananas as Arnold but that he bought 2 - 1 = 1 dozen apples more than Arnold. Therefore a dozen apples should cost $2. If Arnold paid $5 and $2 for a dozen apples then the bunch of bananas cost $5 - $2 = $3.
The answer is 3.

Answer this question:Jerry’s two daughters play softball on different teams. They each have 8 games this season. Each team practices 4 hours for every game they play. If each game lasts for 2 hours, how many hours will Jerry spend at the field watching his daughters play and practice altogether?
Jerry will spend 8 games x 2 hours per game = 16 hours watching one daughter play her games. He will spend 16 x 2 = 32 hours watching both daughters play their games. He will spend 8 games x 4 hours of practice = 32 hours watching one daughter practice. He will spend 32 x 2 = 64 hours watching both daughters practice. He will spend a total of 32 hours watching games + 64 hours watching practice = 96 hours.
The answer is 96.

Answer this question:A small theater company sells tickets to a show. They have a 400 seat theater and fill to 80% capacity. Each ticket cost $30. They repeated the same performance 2 other days. How much did they make?
They sold 400 * .8 = 320 tickets each day. So each day they made 320 * 30 = $9600. They did 2 + 1 = 3 days. So they made 9600 * 3 = $28,800.
The answer is 28800.
