[Question]If the price of a bag of cherries is $5 when the price of a bag of olives is $7, how much would Jordyn pay for buying 50 bags of each fruit and a 10% discount?
[Answer]At a 10 percent discount, Jordyn will pay 10 / 100% * $5 = $.50 less for a bag of cherries. To buy one of the cherries at a 10% discount Jordyn will pay $5 - $0.50 = $4.50. The cost of buying 50 bags of cherries at the 10% discount is 50 * 4.50 = $225. Also, at a 10% discount, Jordyn will pay 10 / 100 * $7 = $0.70 less for a bag of olives. The price of a bag of olives at a 10% discount is $7 - $0.70 = $6.3. To buy 50 bags of olives Jordyn will pay $6.3 * 50 = $315. The total cost of buying 50 bags of each fruit at a 10% discount is $315 + $225 = $540. The answer is 540.

[Question]Aaron is gathering can lids to take to the recycling center. He uses 3 equal-sized boxes of canned tomatoes and adds the lids he gets to the 14 can lids he already has. He is now taking 53 can lids to the recycling center. How many cans lids did he get from each box?
[Answer]Calculating the difference between the can lids Aaron has now and the amount that he had initially shows there were 53 – 14 = 39 can lids in the boxes of canned tomatoes. As the boxes are the same size, splitting these can lids equally shows that there were 39 / 3 = 13 can lids in each box. The answer is 13.

[Question]A snack machine accepts only quarters. Candy bars cost ¢25, each piece of chocolate costs ¢75, and a pack of juice costs ¢50. How many quarters are needed to buy three candy bars, two pieces of chocolate, and one pack of juice?
[Answer]Three candy bars cost ¢25 x 3 = ¢75. Two pieces of chocolate cost ¢75 x 2 = ¢150. So, the total amount needed to buy those is ¢75 + ¢150 + ¢50 = ¢275. Since a quarter is equal to ¢25, therefore ¢275 / ¢25 = 11 quarters are needed. The answer is 11.

[Question]Carla needs to bring water to her animals. Each horse needs twice as much water as a pig, and the chickens drink from one tank that needs 30 gallons. How many gallons of water does Carla need to bring if she has 8 pigs and 10 horses and each pig needs 3 gallons of water?
[Answer]
First figure out how much water all the pigs need: 8 pigs * 3 gallons / pig = 24 gallons. Then figure out how much water one horse needs by multiplying a pig's needs by 2: 3 gallons * 2 = 6 gallons. Now find how much water all the horses need: 10 horses * 6 gallons / horse = 60 gallons. Finally, add up all the animals' water needs: 24 gallons + 60 gallons + 30 gallons = 114 gallons. The answer is 114.
