Question: At the Sterling Auto Store, they have 500 cars for sale. If they have 10 sales professionals, and each salesperson sells 10 cars per month, how many months will it take for them to sell all of the cars?
Answer: If 10 sales professionals each sell 10 cars per month, then they sell a combined 10 * 10 = 100 cars per month. If the store has 500 cars, then it will take the sales team 500 / 100 = 5 months to sell all of the cars. The answer is 5.

Q: At Snowflake Plastics, each employee gets 10 sick days and 10 vacation days per year. If Mark uses half his allotment of both types of days in a year, how many hours' worth of days does he have left if each day covers an 8-hour long workday?
A: First, we add the two types of days together to find 10 + 10 = 20 days in total between the two types. We then divide this number in half to find Mark's remaining number of days, getting 20 / 2 = 10 days remaining. Since each day counts as 8 hours, we multiply 10 * 8 = 80 hours' worth of days remaining for Mark. The answer is 80.
Question: Lilith originally had five dozen water bottles that she needed to sell at $2 each to get exactly enough money to buy her friend a birthday gift. However, at the store, Lilith realized she could not sell at $2 because the regular price was $1.85 per water bottle in her town, and she had to reduce her price to $1.85 as well to sell her water bottles. Calculate the total amount of money Lilith will have to find to buy her friend the birthday gift after selling her water bottles at the reduced cost.

Lilith had 5 dozen water bottles, and since a dozen has 12 water bottles, the total number of water bottles she had was 12 bottles / dozen * 5 dozen = 60 bottles. To buy her friend the birthday gift, Lilith originally had to sell her water bottles for a total of 60 bottles * $2 / bottle = $120. When she reduced the price to $1.85 to meet the regular price, the total amount of money she had from the sales was $1.85 / bottle * 60 bottles = $111. To buy her friend the birthday gift, Lilith has to find $120 - $111 = $9 more. The answer is 9.
