We have a question: The school band is having a car wash to raise money. Their goal is to collect $150. So far they have earned $10 each from three families and $5 each from 15 families. How much more money do they have to earn to reach their goal?
And an answer: 45
So how you got the answer?
The school band earned $10 / family * 3 families = $30 from three families. The school band earned $15 / family * 5 families = $75 from 15 families. The school band earned $30 + $75 = $105 total. The school band needs $150 - $105 = $45 more to reach their goal.

We have a question: John builds a box. The box is 26 inches by 26 inches by 14 inches. The walls are 1 inch thick on each side. How much is the internal volume in cubic feet?
And an answer: 4
So how you got the answer?
The walls take away 2 * 1 = 2 inches from each dimension. So the longer sides are 26 - 2 = 24 inches. That is 24 / 12 = 2 feet. The smaller dimension is 14 - 2 = 12 inches. That is 12 / 12 = 1 foot. So the internal volume is 2 * 2 * 1 = 4 cubic feet.

There are 80 cherries in a pound and she needs 3 pounds to make a pie so she needs 80 * 3 = 240 cherries. It takes her 10 minutes to pit a unit of 20 cherries. She has 240 / 20 = 12 units of cherries to pit. It takes 10 minutes to pit a unit of cherries and she has 12 units so it will take her 10 * 12 = 120 minutes. 60 minutes are in 1 hour and it takes her 120 minutes so that’s 120 / 60 = 2 hours.
