Answer this question:Some students want to buy pencils from a stationery shop. The price of one pencil is 20 cents. Tolu wants 3 pencils, Robert wants 5 pencils and Melissa wants 2 pencils. How much (in dollars) will the students spend altogether at the stationery shop?
The three students want a total of 3 + 2 + 5 = 10 pencils. Each pencil cost 20 cents so 10 pencils cost 20 * 10 = 200 cents. 100 cents make a dollar so 200 cents make 200 / 100 = 2 dollars.
The answer is 2.

Answer this question:Lucille is painting her room. Two of her walls are 3 meters wide and 2 meters tall. The third wall is 5 meters wide and 2 meters tall. The final wall is 4 meters wide and 2 meters tall. If each can of paint covers 2 square meters, how many cans of paint does Lucille need?
For the first set of walls, each wall covers 3 meters wide * 2 meters tall = 6 square meters. There are two of these walls, so this becomes a total of 6 meters * 2 walls = 12 square meters. The third wall covers 5 meters wide * 2 meters tall = 10 square meters. The final wall covers 4 meters wide * 2 meters tall = 8 square meters. So in total, the paint needs to cover 12 + 10 + 8 = 30 metres. Since each can covers 2 meters, Lucille needs 30 meters / 2 = 15 cans of paint.
The answer is 15.

Answer this question:An Italian restaurant earns $600 every weekday and twice as much on the weekend. How much money does it earn by the end of the month?
On weekdays it earns $600 / weekday * 5 weekdays = $3000. During the weekend it earns twice as much each day so it makes ($600 * 2) / weekend day * 2 weekend days = $2400. Every week it earns $3000 + $2400 = $5400. By the end of the month, it earns $5400 / week * 4 weeks = $21600.
The answer is 21600.
