Question: Every Sunday, Sean picks up 1 almond croissant and 1 salami and cheese croissant that are $4.50 each. He also grabs a plain croissant for $3.00 and a loaf of focaccia for $4.00. On his way home he stops and picks up 2 lattes for $2.50 each. How much did he spend?
Answer: The almond croissant and the salami and cheese croissant are $4.50 each so that's 2 * 4.50 = $9.00. He buys 2 lattes that are $2.50 each so that's 2 * 2.50 = $5.00. The flavored croissants are $9.00, the lattes are $5.00 and he also grabbed a plain croissant for $3.00 and focaccia for $4.00 for a total of 9 + 5 + 3 + 4 = $21.00. The answer is 21.
[Question]Vaishali has 4 hats, each with three stripes. She also has three hats with four stripes each, six hats with no stripes, and another two hats with 5 stripes each. What is the combined total number of stripes Vaishali has on all of her hats?
[Answer]Four hats, each with three stripes, is 4 * 3 = 12 stripes. Three hats with four stripes each is 3 * 4 = 12 stripes. Six hats with no stripes is 6 * 0 = 0 stripes. And two hats with 5 stripes each is 2 * 5 = 10 stripes. The combined total number of stripes Vaishali has on all of her hats is 12 + 12 + 0 + 10 = 34 stripes. The answer is 34.
Q: Jenny's local library received 50 visitors on Monday. On Tuesday, the library received twice that number. On the remaining days of the week, an average of 20 visitors went to the library. What's the total number of visitors who went to the library that week?
A: On Monday, there were 50 visitors. On Tuesday, there were twice as many, so 2 * 50 = 100 visitors. The total number of visitors after Tuesday will be 100 + 50 = 150 visitors. For the remaining 5 days, an average of 20 visitors attended, giving a total of 5 * 20 = 100 visitors. The total number of visitors who visited the library for the week was 100 + 150 = 250 visitors. The answer is 250.
