Q: Michael makes birdhouses to sell at craft shows. He charges $22 for each large birdhouse, $16 for each medium birdhouse, and $7 for each small birdhouse. This week, he sold 2 large birdhouses, 2 medium birdhouses, and 3 small birdhouses. How much money, in dollars, did he make this week?
A: Michael sold 2 large birdhouses for $22 each, so he made 2 * $22 = $44 from large birdhouse sales. Michael also sold 2 medium birdhouses for $16 each, so he made 2 * $16 = $32 from medium birdhouse sales. Michael sold 3 small birdhouses for $7 each, so he made 3 * 7 = $21 from small birdhouse sales. Since Michael made $44 from large birdhouse sales, $32 from medium birdhouse sales, and $21 for small birdhouse sales, he made $44 + $32 + $21 = $97 total this week. The answer is 97.
Question: Hannah wants to get the highest grade in the class on the upcoming math test. Because she is out sick the day of the test, she learns ahead of time the top scores she has to beat. She finds out that one student got a 95% on the exam. Another student only got 3 wrong out of 40. How many questions does she have to get right to have the highest score in the class?
Answer: One student got 37 questions right because 40 - 3 = 37. This student's proportion right is .925 because 37 / 40 = .925. This student got a 92.5% because .925 x 100 = 92.5. The student got got a 95% got 38 right because 40 x .95 = 38. Hannah must beat the student who got a 38 because 38 > 37. Hannah needs to get 39 questions right because 38 + 1 = 39. The answer is 39.
[Question]Mark is 18 years old. He has a little brother, John, who is 10 years younger. If John and Mark's parents are currently 5 times older than John, how old were they when Mark was born?

The length of the chalkboard is 2 x the width of 3 feet = 6 feet. We can calculate area by multiplying the width and the length, so 3 feet x 6 feet = 18 feet. The answer is 18.
