Question: 5 years ago, a mother was twice as old as her daughter. If the mother is 41 years old now, how old will the daughter be in 3 years?
Answer: The mother is 41 years old now, so 5 years ago she was 41 - 5 = 36 years old. At that time the daughter's age was half hers so the daughter was 36 / 2 = 18 years old. Now (5 years after that time) the daughter is 18 + 5 = 23 years old. In 3 years, the daughter will be 23 + 3 = 26 years old. The answer is 26.

Question: Justin needs to collect one flower for each classmate that is in his 2nd-grade class. It takes him on average 10 minutes to find a flower he likes. He has been gathering for 2 hours. Assuming he has lost 3 of the flowers he initially gathered, how many more minutes does he need to look if he has 30 classmates?
Answer: If he gathers for 2 hours, the number of minutes gathering is 2 * 60 minutes per hour = 120 minutes of gathering flowers. Gathering for 120 minutes / 10 minutes per flower = 12 flowers gathered. If he gathers 12 flowers initially but lost 3, he has 12 - 3 = 9 flowers gathered and kept. Since he has 30 classmates total and has 9 flowers, he needs to gather 30 - 9 = 21 more flowers. Assuming it takes 10 minutes per flower, it will take him 10 * 21 = 210 minutes to gather the remaining 21 flowers needed. The answer is 210.

Question: Elisa and her two friends went out to dinner. Each of them ordered a meal worth $10. Afterwards, they each had a scoop of the same kind of ice cream. If the $45 Elisa had was enough to pay for everything, what was the cost of a scoop of ice cream?
Answer: The three friends had meals worth 10 * 3 = 30 dollars. If they paid for the meals only, they would have remained with 45 - 30 = 15 dollars. Dividing the remaining amount by the number of ice cream scoops gives 15 / 3 = 5 dollars. Each scoop of ice cream cost 5 dollars. The answer is 5.

Question: James decides to buy a new bed and bed frame. The bed frame is $75 and the bed is 10 times that price. He gets a deal for 20% off. How much does he pay for everything?
Answer:
The bed cost 75 * 10 = $750. So everything cost 750 + 75 = $825. He gets 825 * .2 = $165 off. So that means he pays 825 - 165 = $660. The answer is 660.
