[Question]Alfonso earns $6 each day walking his aunt’s dog. He is saving to buy a mountain bike helmet for $340. Currently, he already has $40. If he walks his aunt's dog 5 days a week, in how many weeks should Alfonso work to buy his mountain bike?
[Answer]Alfonso has to work for the $340 - $40 = $300. In a week, he earns $6 x 5 = $30. Thus, he needs to work $300 / $30 = 10 weeks to buy the bike. The answer is 10.

Question: Ginger owns a flower shop, where she sells roses, lilacs, and gardenias. On Tuesday, she sold three times more roses than lilacs, and half as many gardenias as lilacs. If she sold 10 lilacs, what is the total number of flowers sold on Tuesday?
Answer: With 10 lilacs sold, three times more roses than lilacs is 3 * 10 = 30 roses. Half as many gardenias as lilacs is 10 / 2 = 5 gardenias. In total, there were 10 + 30 + 5 = 45 flowers sold on Tuesday. The answer is 45.
[Question]Jill and her brother Jack are going apple picking. Jill's basket can hold twice as much as Jack's basket when both are full. Jack's basket is full when it has 12 apples, but currently space for 4 more. How many times could Jack's current number of apples fit into Jill's basket?
[Answer]Since Jill's basket can hold twice as much as Jack's, and Jack's is capable of holding 12 apples in total, this means Jill's basket can hold 12 * 2 = 24 apples in total. Since Jack has 4 less than the maximum amount of apples he can fit in his basket, this means Jack has 12 - 4 = 8 apples in his basket. Therefore, Jill's basket can hold 24 / 8 = 3 times the amount of apples Jack is currently carrying. The answer is 3.
