Question: Otto’s local kitchen supply store charges $5.00 for the first knife that you need sharpened. They charge $4.00 for the next 3 knives and $3.00 for any knife after that. If Otto has 9 knives that need to be sharpened, how much will it cost to sharpen his knives?
Answer: Knives 2, 3 & 4 will cost $4.00 each to sharpen so that’s 3 * 4 = $12.00. Knives 5 - 9 will cost $3.00 each to sharpen so that’s 5 * 3 = $15.00. The first knife will cost $5.00, the next 3 cost $12.00 and the rest cost $15.00 for a total of 5 + 12 + 15 = $32.00. The answer is 32.
[Question]Three train stations are 2 hours apart from one another. Kira travels from the first station to the third, taking a 30 minutes break at the second station. What's the total time, in minutes, that Kira takes to travel between the first and third station?
[Answer]Travel between the three stations takes 2 + 2 = 4 hours. The total time for the journey is 4 * 60 = 240 minutes. If Kira takes a 30 - minute break, her journey takes 240 + 30 = 270 minutes. The answer is 270.
Q: Fran baked 50 red macaroons and 40 green macarons. How many macaroons will remain if Fran ate 15 green macaroons and twice as many red macaroons as green macaroons?
A: After eating 15 green macaroons, the number is reduced to 40 green macaroons - 15 green macaroons = 25 green macaroons. If Fran ate 15 green macaroons, he also ate 2 red / green * 15 green macaroons = 30 red macaroons. The total number of red macaroons remaining is 50 red macaroons - 30 red macaroons = 20 red macaroons. The total number of macaroons Fran has left are 20 macaroons + 25 macaroons = 45 macaroons. The answer is 45.
Question: Pedro, Linden, and Jesus are playing a game. Jesus has 60 squares. Linden has 75 squares. Pedro has 200. How many more squares does Pedro have than both Jesus and Linden combined?
Answer: Pedro has 100 squares - 60 squares = 40 more squares than Jesus. Pedro has 100 squares - 75 squares = 25 more squares than Linden. Combined Pedro has 40 squares + 25 squares = 65 squares more than both Jesus and Linden. The answer is 65.
[Question]Elroy decides to enter a walk-a-thon and wants to make sure he ties last year's winner's cash collection. Last year, walkers earned $4 a mile. This year walkers earn $2.75 a mile. If last year's winner collected $44, how many more miles will Elroy walk than last year's winner to collect the same amount of money?
[Answer]Last year's winner walked 11 miles because 44 / 4 = 11. Elroy has to walk 16 miles to collect $44 because 44 / 2.75 = 16. Elroy will walk 5 more miles because 16 - 11 = 5. The answer is 5.

He wants to save $1,000.00 and he has $100.00 left over so he still needs to save 1000 - 100 = $900.00. He wants to save $900.00 over 12 months so that means he needs to save 900 / 12 = $75.00 per month. The answer is 75.
