Answer the following question.
James paves a new parking lot. It is 400 feet by 500 feet. Only 80% of that is useable for parking. It takes 10 square feet to park a car. How many cars can be parked?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The parking lot is 400 * 500 = 200,000. There are 200,000 * .8 = 160,000 square feet of parking space. That means he can park 16,0000 / 10 = 16000 cars.
The answer is 16000.

Answer the following question.
Tony has a bucket that holds 2 pounds of sand. He has a sandbox out back that is two feet deep, four feet wide, and 5 feet long. A cubic foot of sand weighs 3 pounds. Because it's hot outside, he wants to make sure he stays hydrated, so every 4 trips he takes he drinks 3 ounces of bottled water. A 15 ounce bottle of water costs $2. He has $10 with him. How much change will he have after he buys all the water he needs?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The sandbox is 40 cubic feet because 2 x 4 x 5 = 40. He needs 120 pounds of sand because 40 x 3 = 120. He will take 60 trips because 120 / 2 = 60. He will need to drink water 15 times because 60 / 4 = 15. He will drink 45 ounces of water because 15 x 3 = 45. He will need 3 bottles of water because 45 / 15 = 3. He will spend $6 on water because 3 x 2 = 6. He will have $4 in change because 10 - 6 = 4.
The answer is 4.
