Since they are paid $10 each per hour of work and can complete a job in one hour, they earn a total of $10 * 3 = $30 together for an hour of work. If they earn together $30 for one job, for the five jobs, they'll earn $30 * 5 = $150.
The answer: 150
Reverse engineering the question: It takes 3 men an hour to complete a job. If they are hired to work on 5 such similar jobs by a company that pays each of them $10 per hour, calculate the total amount of money the three will earn when they complete the jobs?
Reasoning and answer: There are 2000 / 2 = 1000 kids going to soccer camp. There are 1000 / 4 = 250 kids going to soccer camp in the morning. There are 250 * 3 = 750 kids going to soccer camp in the afternoon.
The answer: 750

Question: There are 2,000 kids in camp. If half of the kids are going to soccer camp, and 1/4 of the kids going to soccer camp are going to soccer camp in the morning, how many kids are going to soccer camp in the afternoon?
Since Darryl has 20 books, Lamont, who has twice the number of books Darryl has, has 20 * 2 = 40 books. The total number of books both Darryl and Lamont has is 40 + 20 = 60 books. To have the same number of books as Lamont, Loris needs 3 more books, meaning she has 40 - 3 = 37 books. In total, the three has 60 + 37 = 97 books.
The answer: 97
Reverse engineering the question: Loris needs three more books to have the same number as Lamont, who has twice the number of books Darryl has. If Darryl has 20 books, calculate the total number of books the three have.
Reasoning and answer: From selling his shirts, Kekai makes 5 * $1 = $5. From selling his pants, Kekai makes 5 * $3 = $15. The total amount of money Kekai earns is $5 + $15 = $20. Since Kekai gives half of the money to his parents, he has $20 / 2 = $10 left.
The answer: 10

Question: Kekai's family is having a garage sale. Kekai sells 5 shirts and 5 pairs of pants. Each shirt sells for $1, and each pair of pants sells for $3. If Kekai gives his parents half of the money he earns from selling his clothes, how much money does Kekai have left?
Reasoning and answer: The amount that the couple would cover for the hospital bill is $128 / 2 = $64. The couple's total expenses (salary and hospital bill) is $160 + $64 = $224. So each of them should give $224 / 2 = $112 in total. Since the husband paid the entire half of the hospital bill already ($64), he still needs to pay $112 - $64 = $48.
The answer: 48

Question:

assistant: A couple agreed to split their expenses equally, including the salary of their house help. While doing her job, the house help had an accident; thus, she underwent a medical procedure which cost her $128. The couple decided to pay half of the medical expenses and the other half will be deducted from her $160 salary. If the husband paid for the entire half of the hospital bill, how much does he still need to pay so that they split the expenses for the house help equally?
