Question: Milo's parents tell him that he can win cash rewards for good grades. He will get $5 times the average grade he gets. He gets three 2s, four 3s, a 4, and a 5. How much cash does he get?

Q: Ronald can grill 15 hamburgers per session on his new grill. He needs to cook 115 hamburgers in total for tonight's party. He has already cooked 40 hamburgers. How many more sessions will it take Ronald to finish cooking all 115 hamburgers?
A: He has to cook 115 hamburgers and has already cooked 40 so he needs to cook 115 - 40 = 75 more hamburgers. He can only cook 15 hamburgers at a time so that means he has to cook 75 / 15 = 5 more cooking sessions. The answer is 5.
Question: My mother celebrated her birthday with a total of 60 guests. Half of the guests are women, 15 are men, and the rest are children. In the middle of the celebration, 1/3 of the men and 5 children left. How many people stayed and enjoyed the birthday celebration?
Answer: There were 60 guests / 2 = 30 women at my mother's birthday celebration. There were 30 women + 15 men = 45 men and women. So, 60 people - 45 men and women = 15 were children. Then, 15 men / 3 = 5 men left. Thus, 5 men + 5 children = 10 people left. Therefore, 60 people - 10 people = 50 people stayed and enjoyed the birthday celebration. The answer is 50.
Q: A man is returning home from work and trying to decide which route to take. His first route option includes 3 stoplights. This route will take him 10 minutes if all three lights are green, but each light that is red will add 3 minutes to the trip. The second route does not include any stoplights and takes 14 minutes. If the man chooses the first route, how much longer will his trip be if all 3 stoplights are red?
A:
If all 3 stoplights are red, the first route will take 10 + 3 * 3 = 19 minutes. Thus, the first route will take 19 - 14 = 5 minutes longer than the second route. The answer is 5.
