Question: A movie theater can hold 50 people at a time. They charge $8.00 a ticket. On a Tuesday night they only sold 24 tickets. By not selling out, how much money did they lose?
Answer: The theater can hold 50 people and they charge $8.00 to watch a movie so on a sold - out night they make 50 * 8 = $400.00. On Tuesday night they only sold 24 tickets at $8.00 apiece so they made 24 * 8 = $192.00. If they make $400.00 on a sold - out night and they only made $192.00 on Tuesday then they lost 400 - 192 = $208.00. The answer is 208.

Question: Janice bought five juices for $10 in total and two sandwiches for $6 in total. How much would she need to pay, if she would only buy one sandwich and one juice?
Answer: Janice bought five juices for $10, so one juice costs 10 / 5 = $2. She also bought two sandwiches for $6, so one sandwich costs 6 / 2 = $3. So for one juice and one sandwich, Janice would need to pay 2 + 3 = $5. The answer is 5.

Question: Jennifer's boyfriend left 5 texts about the grocery shopping, 5 times more texts asking why she wasn't responding, and a number of texts equal to 10% of all the texts he sent previously saying he was calling the police. How many texts did he send total?
Answer: First find how many texts Jennifer's boyfriend sent asking why she wasn't responding: 5 texts * 5 = 25 texts. Then add that number to the number of grocery shopping texts: 25 texts + 5 texts = 30 texts. Then multiply that number by 10% to find how many texts he sent about calling the police: 30 texts * 10% = 3 texts. Then added how many texts of each kind he sent to find the total number of texts he sent: 3 texts + 30 texts = 33 texts. The answer is 33.

Question: Mama bird has 6 babies in the nest. She needs to feed each baby 3 worms a day. Papa bird caught 9 worms. If she caught 13 worms and had 2 stolen, how many more does she need to catch to feed them for 3 days?
Answer:
Each day, mama bird needs to catch 6 x 3 = 18 worms. For 3 days, she needs 18 x 3 = 54 worms. She already has 13 - 2 = 11 worms. With papa bird’s catch, they have 11 + 9 = 20 worms. To feed the babies for 3 days, she needs to catch 54 - 20 = 34 more worms. The answer is 34.
