Answer the following question.
Every Sunday, Sean picks up 1 almond croissant and 1 salami and cheese croissant that are $4.50 each. He also grabs a plain croissant for $3.00 and a loaf of focaccia for $4.00. On his way home he stops and picks up 2 lattes for $2.50 each. How much did he spend?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The almond croissant and the salami and cheese croissant are $4.50 each so that's 2 * 4.50 = $9.00. He buys 2 lattes that are $2.50 each so that's 2 * 2.50 = $5.00. The flavored croissants are $9.00, the lattes are $5.00 and he also grabbed a plain croissant for $3.00 and focaccia for $4.00 for a total of 9 + 5 + 3 + 4 = $21.00.
The answer is 21.

Answer the following question.
Monica made cookies for herself and her family. Her father ate 10 cookies and her mother ate half as much as the father. Her brother ate 2 more than her mother. How many cookies are left for Monica if she made 30 cookies in total?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Monica's mother ate half as many cookies as Monica's father, so she ate 10 cookies / 2 = 5 cookies. Monica's brother ate 5 cookies + 2 cookies = 7 cookies. There were 30 cookies - 7 cookies - 5 cookies - 10 cookies = 8 cookies left for Monica.
The answer is 8.
