Tyrone empties his piggy bank and finds two $1 bills, a $5 bill, 13 quarters, 20 dimes, 8 nickels, and 35 pennies. How much money does Tyrone have?
Let's think: He has $2 in $1 bills because 2 times 1 equals 2. He has $5 in $5 bills because 1 times 5 equals 5. He has $3.25 in quarters because 13 times .25 equals 3.25. He has $2 in dimes because 20 times .1 equals 2. He has $.40 in nickels because 8 times .05 equals .4. He has $.35 in pennies because 35 times .01 equals .35. He has $13 because 2 plus 5 plus 3.25 plus 2 plus .4 plus .35 equals 13.. The answer is: 13.

A desert garden’s sprinkler system runs twice a day during the cool morning and evening hours. It waters the garden with four liters of water in the morning and six liters in the evening. How many days does it take the sprinkler system to use 50 liters of water?
Let's think: Every day, the sprinkler uses 4 + 6 = 10 liters of water. Hence, it takes the sprinkler system 50 / 10 = 5 days to use 50 liters of water.. The answer is: 5.

Joe's pizzeria has an amazing promotion. If you buy any regular large pizza you can get the next 3 medium pizzas for $5 each. What are your total savings if the regular medium pizza price is $18 and you take full advantage of the promotion?
Let's think: If one medium pizza costs $18 and with the promotion I can buy one for $5, then I'm saving $18 - $5 = $13 on each medium pizza. If I take full advantage of the promotion, that means I bought all 3 medium pizzas, therefore I saved a total of 3 * $13 = $39 in total.. The answer is: 39.

Dorothy, Julia, and Robert go to the store to buy school supplies. Dorothy buys half as many pens as Julia. Julia buys three times as many pens as Robert. Robert buys 4 pens. If one pen costs $1.50, how much money did the three friends spend in total on pens?
Let's think:
Julia buys 4 * 3 = 12 pens. Dorothy buys 12 / 2 = 6 pens. The total number of pens purchased is 4 + 12 + 6 = 22 pens. The total cost of the pens is 22 * $1.50 = $33.. The answer is: 33.
