Question: Tara's taking a road trip for the weekend. She drives for two days, stopping to fill up her gas tank each time from empty to full when she needs it. She visits 4 different gas stations in total, with the price of gas being $3, $3.50, $4, and $4.50 respectively at each. If Tara's car has a 12-gallon tank, how much does she spend on gas for her road trip?
Answer: The first station Tara stops at charges $3 for a gallon of gas, so for her 12 - gallon tank she spends 12 * 3 = 36 dollars. The second station Tara stops at charges $3.50 for a gallon of gas, so for her 12 - gallon tank she spends 12 * 3.5 = 42 dollars. The third station Tara stops at charges $4 for a gallon of gas, so for her 12 - gallon tank she spends 12 * 4 = 48 dollars. The fourth station Tara stops at charges $4.50 for a gallon of gas, so for her 12 - gallon tank she spends 12 * 4.5 = 54 dollars. Now that we know all the individual amounts, we add 36 + 42 + 48 + 54 = 180 dollars in gas in total. The answer is 180.
[Question]Danny is bringing his sailboat out to the ocean. When he uses his 24 square foot sail he goes 50 MPH. When he uses his 12 square foot sail he goes 20 MPH. He plans to travel 200 miles. How many hours faster is the bigger sail than the smaller one?
[Answer]The bigger sail will make the trip in 4 hours because 200 / 50 = 4. The smaller sail will make the trip in 10 hours because 200 / 20 = 10. The bigger sail will be 6 hours faster because 10 - 4 = 6. The answer is 6.
Q: Grace baked 4 whole pumpkin pies. She sold 1 whole pumpkin pie and gave 1 whole pumpkin pie to her friend. The remaining whole pumpkin pies were each sliced into 6 pieces. Her family ate 2/3 pieces. How many pieces of pumpkin pie were left?
A: Grace sold and gave a total of 1 + 1 = 2 whole pumpkin pie. Her family was left with 4 - 2 = 2 whole pumpkin pie. There were a total of 2 x 6 = 12 pieces made from the 2 whole pumpkin pie. Her family ate 12 x 2 / 3 = 8 pieces. Therefore, 12 - 8 = 4 pieces of pumpkin pie were left. The answer is 4.

[Question]A liter of chlorine costs $10 and is now sold at 20% off. A box of soap that costs $16 is now sold at 25% off. How much will you save if you buy 3 liters of chlorine and 5 boxes of soap?
[Answer]
For each liter of chlorine, I can save $10 x .20 = $2. For each box of soap, I can save $16 x .25 = $4. With the 3 liters of chlorine, I can save $2 x 3 = $6. With the 5 boxes of soap, I can save $4 x 5 = $20. Therefore, I can save a total of $6 + $20 = $26. The answer is 26.
