Answer the following question.
A cobbler can mend 3 pairs of shoes in an hour. From Monday to Thursday, the cobbler works for 8 hours each day, and on Friday, he only works from 8am to 11am. How many pairs of shoes can the cobbler mend in a week?
Step-by-step reasoning process: From Monday to Thursday, the cobbler can mend 3 x 8 = 24 pairs of shoes a day. From Monday to Thursday, he can mend 24 x 4 = 96 pairs of shoes. On Friday, he works for 11 - 8 = 3 hours. On Friday, he can mend 3 x 3 = 9 pairs of shoes. In a week, he can mend 96 + 9 = 105 pairs of shoes.
The answer is 105.

Answer the following question.
A movie theater company is advertising a deal of a movie ticket, a bucket of popcorn, a drink, and a box of candy for $20. Normally, a movie ticket costs $8, a bucket of popcorn costs three dollars less, a drink costs a dollar more than popcorn, and a candy costs half as much as a drink. How many dollars does the deal save a customer who buys a ticket, popcorn, drink, and candy normally?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The popcorn costs 8 - 3 = $5. The drink costs 5 + 1 = $6. The candy costs 6 / 2 = $3. The normal price is 8 + 5 + 6 + 3 = $22. Thus, the deal saves a customer 22 - 20 = $2.
The answer is 2.
