Q: Zoe wants to go on the field trip to Washington DC with her middle school this spring and the cost is $485. Her grandma gave her $250 toward her fees and she must earn the rest by selling candy bars. She makes $1.25 for every candy bar she sells. How many candy bars does Zoe need to sell to earn the money for the trip?
A: Since Zoe’s grandma gave her some money toward her trip, she needs to come up with $485 – $250 = $235. This means she must sell $235 / $1.25 / candy bar = 188 candy bars. The answer is 188.
Question: Clinton buys a burger meal for lunch for $6.00 and up sizes his fries and drinks for $1.00 more.  If Clinton buys this same meal every day for 5 days, how much does he spend on lunch?
Answer: The burger meal is $6.00 and to upsize the meal is $1.00 so 6 + 1 = $7.00. He spends $7.00 on lunch and after 5 days he spends 7 * 5 = $35.00. The answer is 35.
[Question]Sarah wants to start a cupcake business and was approved for a business loan. The loan has 0% interest if she pays the entire amount back in 5 years, which she decides to do. If she put $10,000 down as a down payment and her monthly payments are $600.00, how much was her loan for (including the down payment)?
[Answer]To avoid interest she'll make payments for 5 years. There are 12 months in 1 year so that's 5 * 12 = 60 months. Each monthly payment is $600.00 and she'll pay that for 60 months for a total of 600 * 60 = $36,000. She also put $10,000 down as a down payment and her monthly payments came out to $36,000 so her loan was for 10000 + 36000 = $46,000. The answer is 46000.
Q: A pen is longer than the rubber by 3 centimeters, and shorter than the pencil by 2 centimeters. Considering the pencil is 12 centimeters long, what is the total length of the rubber, the pen, and the pencil altogether?
A: The pen is shorter than the pencil by 2 centimeters, so it's 12 - 2 = 10 centimeters long. That means the rubber is 10 - 3 = 7 centimeters long. So all accessories are 7 + 10 + 12 = 29 centimeters long altogether. The answer is 29.
Question: Carson is refilling his tires. Each tire can hold 500 cubic inches of air. Two of the tires are completely flat and empty. One tire is 40% full and the last tire is 70% full. If Carson injects 50 cubic inches of air with each pump, how many pumps will it take him to fill all the tires?
Answer: First, if the a full tire needs 500 cubic inches of air, then two empty tires need: 500 cubic inches / tire * 2 tires = 1000 cubic inches. Accordingly, the 40% - full tire needs 500 cubic inches * (100% - 40%). So, we find the 40% - full tire needs 500 cubic inches * (60%) = 300 cubic inches. And, the 70% - full tire needs 500 cubic inches * (100% - 70%). So, the 70% - full tire needs 500 cubic inches * (30%) = 150 cubic inches. Now add up the needs of all the tires to find the total number of cubic inches needed: 1000 cubic inches + 300 cubic inches + 150 cubic inches = 1450 cubic inches. Finally, if the pumps each hold 50 cubic inches, the total number of pumps needed is 1550 cubic inches / 50 cubic inches / pump = 29 pumps. The answer is 29.

Abigail collected 2 * 48 = 96 cookies. There are 48 / 4 = 12 cookies in a quarter of a box. Grayson collected 12 * 3 = 36 cookies. Olivia collected 48 * 3 = 144 cookies. In total they collected 96 + 36 + 144 = 276 cookies. The answer is 276.
