Alice was able to sell $2500 worth of gadgets. For this month, she expects to receive her monthly basic salary of $240 and a 2% commission from these sales. How much is she going to save this month if she usually saves 10% of her total earnings?
Let's think: Alice will get $2500 x 2 / 100 = $50 from her commission. This month, she will receive a total of $240 + $50 = $290. Therefore, Alice will save $290 x 10 / 100 = $29 for this month.. The answer is: 29.

A store offers a $2 discount for every $10 purchase on any item in the store. Kataleya went to the store and bought 400 peaches sold at forty cents each. Calculate the total amount of money she paid at the store for the fruits.
Let's think: The total cost for the peaches was 400 * $0.40 = $160. The total count of 10 dollar purchases Kataleya received a discount on was $160 / $10 = 16. If each purchase had a $2 discount, the total discount she received is 16 * $2 = $32. She purchased the peaches at $160 - $32 = $128.. The answer is: 128.

Cassie is an athletic person and tries to drink at least 12 cups of water a day to stay hydrated while being active. Her water bottle holds 16 ounces. There are 8 ounces of water in a cup. How many times does Cassie have to refill her water bottle a day to make sure she drinks 12 cups?
Let's think: Cassie needs to drink 8 * 12 = 96 ounces of water to drink 12 cups a day. Thus, Cassie needs to refill her water bottle 96 / 16 = 6 times a day.. The answer is: 6.

It will take her 0.5 miles / 3 mph * (60 minutes / 1 hour) = 10 minutes to run half a mile. It will take her 0.5 miles / 1 mph * (60 minutes / 1 hour) = 30 minutes to walk half a mile. Her total time is 10 + 30 = 40 minutes.. The answer is: 40.
