Answer this question:Jesse is desperately trying to finish a book for a school book report due on Monday so he can play this weekend. Friday afternoon, he read the first 5 chapters, which were 10, 15, 27, 12, and 19 pages, respectively, before taking a break. To his dismay, he found that he was only 1/3 of the way through the book. How many pages does he still have to read?
So far, Jesse has read 10 + 15 + 27 + 12 + 19 = 83 pages. That's 1 / 3 of the book, so the remainder of the book is twice as many pages, or 2 * 83 = 166 pages.
The answer is 166.

Answer this question:Ellen is baking bread. It takes 3 hours to rise 1 ball of dough, and then another 2 hours to bake it. If she makes 4 balls of dough one after another and then bakes them one after another when they're done rising, how many hours will it take?
Ellen takes 4 * 3 = 12 hours in total to rise all balls of dough. It will take 4 * 2 = 8 more hours to bake each one. It will take her 12 + 8 = 20 hours to make all of the bread.
The answer is 20.

Answer this question:To support the school outreach program, Einstein wants to raise $500 by selling snacks. One box of pizza sells for $12, a pack of potato fries sells for $0.30, and a can of soda at $2. Einstein sold 15 boxes of pizzas, 40 packs of potato fries, and 25 cans of soda. How much more money does Einstein need to raise to reach his goal?
Einstein collected 15 x $12 = $180 for selling pizzas. He collected 40 x $0.30 = $12 for the 40 packs of potato fries. He collected 25 x $2 = $50 for the 25 cans of soda. Thus, the total amount section Einstein collected was $180 + $12 + $50 = $242. Therefore, Einstein needs $500 - $242 = $258 more to reach the goal.
The answer is 258.
