Q: The price of buying a wooden toy at the new Craftee And Best store is $20, and the cost of buying a hat is $10. If Kendra went to the shop with a $100 bill and bought two wooden toys and three hats, calculate the change she received.
A: When Kendra bought 2 toys, she paid 2 * $20 = $40. Since the price of a hat is $10, when Kendra bought 3 hats, she paid 3 * $10 = $30. The total costs for the hats and wooden toys Kendra bought is $40 + $30 = $70. From the $100 bill, Kendra received change worth $100 - $70 = $30. The answer is 30.
Question: Once a week, it takes Kitty 5 minutes to pick up toys and straighten the living room. It takes another 20 minutes to vacuum the living room floor, seating and drapes. She spends 15 minutes cleaning the windows and 10 minutes dusting the furniture. After 4 weeks, how long has Kitty spent cleaning just the living room?
Answer: 5 minutes for picking up toys, 20 minutes to vacuum, 15 minutes on windows and 10 minutes on furniture is 5 + 20 + 15 + 10 = 50 minutes. After 4 weeks, she has spent 4 weeks * 50 minutes / week = 200 minutes cleaning the living room. The answer is 200.
[Question]Stephanie is decorating 24 cupcakes for a birthday party, but she needs more candles. She currently has a total of 30 candles. She wants to decorate half of the cupcakes with 1 candle each and the other half of the cupcakes with 2 candles each. How many additional candles does Stephanie need to complete the cupcakes?
[Answer]For half of the cupcakes, Stephanie wants to use 1 candle each. Since half of the cupcakes is 24 / 2 and she plans to use 1 candle each for this half of the cupcakes, Stephanie needs (24 / 2) * 1 = 12 candles for this half of the cupcakes. For the other half of the cupcakes, Stephanie wants to use 2 candles. Therefore, she will need (24 / 2) * 2 = 24 candles for this half of the cupcakes. Because Stephanie needs 12 candles for half of the cupcakes and 24 candles for the other half, she needs a total of 12 + 24 = 36 candles. Since Stephanie needs 36 candles to decorate all the cupcakes and she currently has 30 candles, Stephanie needs 36 - 30 = 6 additional candles. The answer is 6.
[Question]Tony has two fish. Every year, his parents buy him two more, but one of them dies. How many fish will he have in five years?
