Q: Phoebe eats 1 serving and gives her dog 1 serving of peanut butter for a bedtime snack. Each jar of peanut butter has 15 servings. How many jars will she need to make sure she and her dog have enough to last for 30 days?
A: She and her dog both have a serving before bed so they eat 1 + 1 = 2 servings a day. She wants to have enough for 30 days and they eat 2 servings a day so they need 30 * 2 = 60 servings. Each jar has 15 servings and she needs 60 servings so she will need 60 / 15 = 4 jars of peanut butter. The answer is 4.

Answer: Adults = 9 * 11 = 99. Children = 7 * 7 = 49. Difference: 99 - 49 = $50. The adults' tickets cost $50 more than the children's tickets. The answer is 50.
[Question]Alice needs to sell $1000 of shoes to meet her quota. Adidas cost $45, Nike cost $60, and Reeboks cost $35. If she sells 8 Nikes, 6 Adidas's, and 9 Reeboks, how much is she short or above her goal?
[Answer]The total dollar amount of Nike's sold is 8 * $60 = $480. The total dollar amount of Adidas's sold is 6 * $45 = $270. The total dollar amount of Reebok's sold is 9 * $35 = $315. The total dollar amount that Alice sold was $480 + $270 + $315 = $1065. Therefore, she sold above her goal by $1065 - $1000 = $65. The answer is 65.
