Question: Two companies A and B, are selling bottled milk. Company A sells a big bottle for $4 and Company B sells a big bottle for $3.5. Company A was able to sell 300 and company B 350 big bottles of milk. How much more money did one company make from the other?
Answer: Company A earned 300 * 4 = $1200 for big bottles of milk. Company B earned 350 * 3.5 = $1225 for big bottles of milk. Company B earned 1225 - 1200 = $25 more than company A. The answer is 25.
[Question]A bag contains 50 fewer baseball cards than football cards. There are 4 times as many football cards as hockey cards. If there are 200 hockey cards in the bag, how many cards are there altogether?
[Answer]If there are 200 hockey cards in the bag and 4 times as many football cards as hockey cards, there are 4 * 200 = 800 football cards. The total number of football and hockey cards in the bag is 800 + 200 = 1000 cards. The bag contains 50 fewer baseball cards than football cards, meaning there are 800 - 50 = 750 baseball cards. Altogether, there are 750 + 1000 = 1750 cards. The answer is 1750.
Q: One of the clubs at Georgia's school was selling carnations for a fundraising event. A carnation costs $0.50. They also had a special where you could buy one dozen carnations for $4.00. If Georgia sent a dozen carnations to each of her 5 teachers and bought one carnation for each of her 14 friends, how much money would she spend?
A: She wants to send a dozen carnations that cost $4 / dz to each of her 5 teachers, so 4 * 5 = $20. She has 14 friends and she knows a dozen carnations is cheaper than buying 12 single carnations. So 14 - 12 = 2 single carnations are needed. A single carnation cost $0.50 so 2 * .50 = $1.00. All total she will spend 20 + 4 + 1 = $25.00 on carnations. The answer is 25.
Question: Farmer Steven needs to load his truck up with compost. His tractor can scoop up compost at a rate of 75 pounds per minute. Steven's son, Darrel, wants to help. Using a shovel, Darrel can scoop up 10 pounds per minute. How much time, in minutes, would it take for the two working together at the same time to load up 2550 pounds of compost into the truck?
Answer: Working together at the same time, the rate at which the two would be able to load compost would be 75 + 10 = 85 pounds / minute. At 85 pounds / minute, the 2550 pounds could be loaded in 2550 / 85 = 30 minutes. The answer is 30.

He was at the arcade for 3 * 60 = 180 minutes. So he put coins in 180 / 6 = 30 times. That means he spent 30 * .5 = $15. The answer is 15.
