Q: The P.T.O. decided to provide shirts for the elementary students for track and field day. Each grade was given a different color. 101 Kindergartners wore orange shirts that cost $5.80 each. 113 first graders wore yellow shirts that cost $5 each. 107 second graders wore blue shirts that cost $5.60 each. 108 third graders wore green shirts that cost $5.25 each. How much did the P.T.O. spend on shirts for field day?
A: The cost for 101 Kindergarten shirts x $5.80 = $585.80. The cost for 113 first grade shirts x $5 = $565. The cost for 107 second grade shirts x $5.60 = $599.20. The cost for 108 third grade shirts x $5.25 = $567. The total cost of the shirts was $585.80 + $565 + $599.20 + $567 = $2,317. The answer is 2317.
Question: In a classroom of 81 students, two-thirds are wearing striped shirts while the others are wearing checkered shirts. If there are 19 more students wearing shorts than checkered shirts, how many more students are wearing striped shirts than shorts?
Answer: 81 / 3 = 27 students are wearing checkered shirts. 27 x 2 = 54 students are wearing striped shirts. 27 + 19 = 46 students are wearing shorts. 54 - 46 = 8 more students are wearing striped shirts than shorts. The answer is 8.
[Question]Two stores sell the same model of smartphone, but they offer it at different prices and with different discounts. Store A lists the smartphone at a full price of $125 and offers an additional discount of 8%. Store B lists the same smartphone for $130 and offers an additional discount of 10%. After both stores' discounts are applied, how much cheaper is store A's smartphone than store B's smartphone?
[Answer]Store A has a $125 x 8 / 100 = $10 discount. So the smartphone from store A will only cost $125 - $10 = $115. Store B has a $130 x 10 / 100 = $13 discount. So the smartphone from store B will only cost $130 - $13 = $117. Thus, store A's smartphone is $117 - $115 = $2 cheaper than that of store B. The answer is 2.

A: The baker sold cakes for 453 * 12 = $5436. And pies for 126 * 7 = $882. In total the baker earned 5436 + 882 = $6318. The answer is 6318.
Question: During the outbreak of the coronavirus, a company had to ramp up its toilet paper production three times more to cover the increased demand. If the company was producing 7000 toilet paper per day, calculate its total toilet paper production during March of 2020 after increasing its production.
Answer: If the company was producing 7000 toilet paper per day, when it ramped up its toilet paper production three times per day, it produced 3 * 7000 = 21000 more per day. The total toilet production by the company increased to 7000 + 21000 = 28000. In March, with 31 days, the company produced a total of 28000 * 31 = 868000 toilet papers. The answer is 868000.

Mitch needs to keep 500 * 3 = 1500 for docking fees. Thus, he needs to keep 500 + 3 * 500 = $2000 for license, registration, and docking fees. He has 20000 - 2000 = $18000 left to spend on a boat. Therefore, the longest boat he can buy is 18000 / 1500 = 12 feet long. The answer is 12.
