[Question]Sophie's aunt gave her $260 to spend on clothes at the mall. She bought 2 shirts that cost $18.50 each and a pair of trousers that cost $63. She then decides to purchase 4 more articles of clothing with her remaining budget. How much money would each item cost if she split the cost of each item evenly?
[Answer]Sophie spent $18.50 × 2 = $37 on the two shirts. She spent in total $37 + $63 = $100 on clothes so far. She has $260 - $100 = $160 left to spend on clothes. Sophie has $160 ÷ 4 = $40 left to spend on each additional item of clothing. The answer is 40.
Q: The fall semester lasts 15 weeks. During the weekdays, Paris studies 3 hours a day for her classes. On the weekends, she spends 4 hours studying on Saturday and 5 hours studying on Sunday. How much time does Paris study during the semester?
A: During the weekdays, Paris studies 3 hours a day for 5 * 3 = 15 hours. She studies 4 hours on Saturday and 5 hours on Sunday for a total of 4 + 5 = 9 hours on the weekends. If she studies 15 hours during the weekdays and 9 hours on the weekends then she studies 15 + 9 = 24 hours per week. There are 15 weeks in the fall semester and she studies 24 hours a week so she will spend 15 * 24 = 360 hours studying. The answer is 360.
Question: Bobby has an aquarium with twice as many fish as Sarah's has. Sarah has 5 more fish in her aquarium than Tony does. Tony has 3 times as many fish in his aquarium as Billy does. Billy has 10 fish. How many fish do all 4 people have put together?
Answer: Since Tony has 3 times as many fish as Billy's 10, that means Tony has 3 * 10 = 30 fish. Sarah has 5 more fish than Tony's 30, meaning she has 5 + 30 = 35 fish. Bobby has twice as many fish as Sarah does, meaning he has 35 * 2 = 70 fish. Therefore, altogether there are 10 + 30 + 35 + 70 = 145 fish. The answer is 145.

Question: There are 200 snakes in a park. There are three times as many pythons as boa constrictors. If there 40 boa constrictors and the rest of the snakes are rattlesnakes, calculate the total number of rattlesnakes in the park.
Answer:
If the number of pythons is three times the number of boa constrictors, then there are 3 * 40 = 120 pythons. Together, the number of pythons and boa constrictors is 120 + 40 = 160. If there are 200 snakes in the park, the number of rattlesnakes is 200 - 160 = 40. The answer is 40.
