If the initial price was $104, and the price of the monster box of cereal reduced by $24, the new price is $104 - $24 = $80. If Romina bought 20 such boxes, he paid 20 * $80 = $1600.
The answer: 1600

Reasoning and answer: Both Polly and Peter played 30 / 2 = 15 moves each one. With an average of 28 seconds per move, Polly's moves lasted a total of 15 * 28 = 420 seconds. With an average of 40 seconds per move, Peter's moves lasted a total of 15 * 40 = 600 seconds. In total, the match lasted 420 + 600 = 1020 seconds. In minutes, the match lasted 1020 / 60 = 17 minutes.
The answer: 17

He spends 5 * 2 = $10 on Wednesday to pay for a movie ticket. He spends 5 * 5 = $25 on Saturday to pay for a movie ticket. He spends a total of 10 + 25 = $35.

Reasoning and answer: The total amount of money from washing cars is 3 * $10 = $30. The total amount of money from mowing lawns 2 * $13 = $26. The total amount of money Stormi makes is $30 + $26 = $56. Stormi still needs to make $80 - $56 = $24.
The answer: 24

Reasoning and answer: Two fifths of $500 is (2 / 5) * $500 = $200. She needed $200 more than $500 which is $200 + $500 = $700. 15% of $700 is (15 / 100) * $700 = $105. She was given a $105 discount so she has to pay $700 - $105 = $595. She would still need $595 - $500 = $95.
The answer: 95
