[Question]Ted needs to purchase 5 bananas and 10 oranges. If bananas cost $2 each and oranges cost $1.50 each. How much money does Ted need to purchase 5 bananas and 10 oranges?
[Answer]Ted needs 5 bananas and they each cost $2. To purchase the bananas, Ted needs 5 * 2 = 10 dollars. Because Ted needs 10 oranges and they each cost $1.50, Ted needs 10 * 1.5 = 15 dollars to pay for the oranges. All together Ted needs $10 for the bananas and $15 for the oranges, so combined Ted needs 10 + 15 = 25 dollars to purchase all the produce. The answer is 25.
Q: Max has a collection of stamps in three colors: 20 red stamps, 80 blue stamps and 7 yellow ones. He is trying to sell the whole collection. He already sold 20 red stamps for the price of $1.1 for each stamp and 80 blue stamps for the price of $0.8 for each stamp. What price did he need to set for each yellow stamp to be able to earn the total of $100 from the whole sale?
A: Max earned 20 * 1.1 = $22 on red stamps. From the blue stamps Max got 80 * 0.8 = $64. His earnings so far are 22 + 64 = $86. To earn $100 he needs 100 – 86 = $14 more. Max has 7 yellow stamps, so he needs to set the price at 14 / 7 = $2. The answer is 2.
Question: Candice buys all the bread she and her family needs for the week from a local bakery. She needs 2 loaves of white bread for sandwiches that cost $3.50 each. She also needs a baguette that costs $1.50 and 2 loaves of sourdough bread that cost $4.50 each. She also treats herself to a $2.00 almond croissant each visit. How much does Candice spend at the bakery over 4 weeks?
Answer: 2 loaves of white bread are $3.50 each so they cost 2 * 3.50 = $7.00. 2 loaves of sourdough bread are $4.50 each so they cost 2 * 4.50 = $9.00. The white bread comes to $7.00, the sourdough is $9.00 and she gets a baguette for $1.50 and a croissant for $2.00 so she spends 7 + 9 + 1 + 2 = $19.50 per week. If she buys this same order of $19.50 every week for 4 weeks then she spends 19.50 * 4 = $78.00 over 4 weeks. The answer is 78.

[Question]Rebecca bought 2 pies for the holiday weekend. Each pie was sliced into 8 slices. Rebecca ate 1 slice of each pie. Her family and friends ate 50% of the remaining pies over the weekend. On Sunday evening Rebecca and her husband each had another slice of pie. How many slices are remaining?
[Answer]
She bought 2 pies that had 8 slices each for a total of 2 * 8 = 16 slices. Rebecca ate 2 of the 16 slices leaving 16 - 2 = 14 slices. Her family and friends at 50% of the pie so they ate 14 * .50 = 7 slices. There were 14 slices and her family and friends ate 7 slices so that leaves 14 - 7 = 7 slices. Sunday night Rebecca and her husband each had a slice from the remaining slices so that leaves 7 - 2 = 5 slices. The answer is 5.
