Q: Penelope the pig eats 20 pounds of food per day, which is 10 times more than Greta the goose eats per day. Milton the mouse eats 1/100 as much as Greta the goose eats per day, but Elmer the elephant eats 4000 times more than Milton the mouse does per day. How much more, in pounds, does Elmer the elephant eat per day than Penelope the pig?
A: Greta the goose eats 20 / 10 = 2 pounds of food per day. Milton the mouse eats (1 / 100) * 2 = 1 / 50 of a pound of food per day. Elmer the elephant eats 4000 * (1 / 50) = 80 pounds of food per day. Thus, Elmer eats 80 - 20 = 60 pounds more food per day than does Penelope the pig. The answer is 60.

A: There are a total of 15 x 3 = 45 hats in 3 bags. Since 5 tore off, only 45 - 5 = 40 hats were left. Thus, 40 - 25 = 15 hats were unused. The answer is 15.
Question: Tom takes medication to help him sleep. He takes 2 pills every day before bed. He needs to go to the doctor every 6 months to get a new prescription and a visit to the doctor costs $400. The medication costs $5 per pill, but insurance covers 80% of that cost. How much does he pay a year for everything?
Answer:
He sees the doctor 12 / 6 = 2 times a year. So he pays 400 * 2 = $800 for doctor visits. The cost of the pill is 5 * 2 = $10 per night. But insurance covers 10 * .8 = $8. So he pays 10 - 8 = $2 per night. So he pays 2 * 365 = $730 a year. SSo his total cost is 800 + 730 = $1530 a year. The answer is 1530.
