Let's solve each of the problems one by one.

**Problem 19:**  
"James and three of his friends went out to eat. They decided to split the bill evenly. Each person paid $14.04. What was the total bill?"

- James and three friends means there are **4 people** in total.
- Each person paid **$14.04**.
- To find the total bill, multiply the amount each person paid by the number of people:

\[
\text{Total Bill} = 14.04 \times 4 = 56.16
\]

The total bill was **$56.16**.

**Problem 20:**  
"A recipe for cupcakes calls for 6 cups of sugar. John accidentally put in 9 cups. How many extra cups did he put in?"

- The recipe calls for **6 cups**, but John added **9 cups**.
- The extra cups John added is:

\[
\text{Extra cups} = 9 - 6 = 3
\]

John put in **3 extra cups**.

**Problem 21:**  
"In nineteen years, Paul will be 48 years old. How old is he now?"

- In 19 years, Paul will be **48 years old**.
- To find Paul's current age, subtract 19 from 48:

\[
\text{Current Age} = 48 - 19 = 29
\]

Paul is currently **29 years old**.

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:
1. What if James and only two friends went out to eat and paid $12.50 each? What would the total bill be?
2. If John had put in 12 cups instead of 9, how many extra cups would that be?
3. If Paul will be 60 years old in 25 years, how old is he now?
4. If each person in Problem 19 paid $18.75, what would the total bill be?
5. If the recipe called for 5 cups and John put in 8, how many extra cups did he add?

**Tip:** Always double-check your calculations to avoid simple errors when solving word problems!
