Q: Scott, Mary, and Ken committed to raising $4,000 for their local children’s cancer hospital. Right now, Mary’s collection is five times what Ken has, but three times Scott’s funds. If Ken has $600, by how much have the three exceeded their goal?
A: Mary has collected 5 * $600 = $3000. Scott therefore has $3000 / 3 = $1000. All together, they have raised $3000 + $1000 + $600 = $4600. They have therefore exceeded their goal by $4600 - $4000 = $600. The answer is 600.
Question: Jeremie wants to go to an amusement park with 3 friends at the end of summer. Tickets are $18 for children and a set of snack cost $5. How much will it cost Jeremie and her 3 friends to go to the amusement park and buy each of them a set of snacks?
Answer: There are 1 + 3 = 4 of them who will go to the park. The ticket and a set of snack cost $18 + $5 = $23. So, it will cost Jerimee and her 3 friends $23 x 4 = $92. The answer is 92.
[Question]Lorie has 2 pieces of $100 bills. He requested to change one piece of the $100 bills into $50 bills. Half of the remaining $100 bill is changed to $10 bills while the rest is changed to $5 bills. How many pieces of bills will she have?
[Answer]There will be $100 / $50 = 2 pieces of $50 when $100 is changed to $50 bills. Half of $100 is $100 / 2 = $50. So there will be $50 / $10 = 5 pieces of $10 when $50 is changed to $10 bills. The remaining $50 will be changed to $5 bills so there will be $50 / $5 = 10 pieces of $5 bills. So in total, Lorie will have 2 $50 bills + 5 $10 bills + 10 $5 bills = 17 pieces of bills. The answer is 17.
Q: Javier plays 2 baseball games a week. In each of his first 20 games, he averaged 2 hits. If he has 10 games left, how many hits a game does he have to average to bring his average for the season up to 3 hits a game?
A: There are thirty games in the season because 20 + 10 = 30. He needs to get 90 hits on the year to average 3 hits a game because 30 x 3 = 90. He has 40 hits already because 20 x 2 = 40. He needs 50 hits in the final 10 games because 90 - 40 = 50. He needs to average 5 hits a game because 50 / 10 = 5. The answer is 5.
Question: Joe’s mother gave him $56 to go to the store. Joe bought 7 notebooks and 2 books. Each notebook costs $4 and each book costs $7. How much money does Joe have left?

Q: Five times a week, Onur bikes 250 kilometers a day. His friend Hanil bikes 40 more kilometers of Onur biking distance in a day. What's the total distance the two friends bikes in a week?
A:
Since Onur bikes 250 kilometers in a day, he bikes 5 * 250 = 1250 kilometers for five days in a week. Onur's friend Hanil bikes 40 more kilometers in a day than Onur, meaning he bikes for 250 + 40 = 290 kilometers. In five days of the week, Hanil covers 290 * 5 = 1450 kilometers. In total, the two bikes for 1450 + 1250 = 2700 kilometers in 5 days of a week. The answer is 2700.
