Dakota and Ben order eggs for $3, pancakes for $2, and 2 mugs of cocoa for $2 each. The tax is $1. Later, Ben then decides to order 1 more batch of pancakes and 1 more mug of cocoa as he is still hungry. How much change should they get from $15?
Let's think: The cost of the food is $3 + $2 + $2 + $2 = $9. The original total cost, including tax is $9 + $1 = $10. Ben increases the total cost to $10 + $2 + $2 = $14. They should get $15 - $14 = $1 in change.. The answer is: 1.

Southton buries their time capsule 15 feet underground. Northton buries their time capsule 12 feet higher than 4 times the depth of the Southton time capsule. How deep is Northton's time capsule buried?
Let's think: First multiply the depth of Southton's capsule by 4: 15 feet * 4 = 60 feet. Then subtract 12 feet to find the depth of Northton's time capsule: 60 feet - 12 feet = 48 feet.. The answer is: 48.

Mrs. Brown paid her utility bills with 3 $50 bills and 2 $10 bills. How much are her utility bills?
Let's think: Mrs. Brown's $50 bills amount to $50 x 3 = $150. Her $10 bills amount to $10 x 2 = $20. So Mrs. Brown's utility bills cost $150 + $20 = $170.. The answer is: 170.

The total number of dogs at an animal rescue center is 200. Mr. Tanner, the manager at the rescue center, gets a call that 100 dogs at another rescue center are to be moved because of weather problems. He agrees to bring the dogs to his rescue center, and after one week, gives out 40 animals for adoption. After a month, 60 more dogs were adopted by dog lovers. What's the total number of remaining animals in the adoption center after the last adoptions?
Let's think:
After taking in 100 more dogs, the number of dogs in the rescue center increased to 200 + 100 = 300. After a week, the number of dogs was reduced to 300 - 40 = 260 after the adoptions. So, there are 260 - 60 = 200 dogs left after 60 more dogs were adopted.. The answer is: 200.
