Question: Joey needs to take a new prescription. The first day he needs to take one pill. Each day he must take two more pills than the previous day. How many pills will he take in a week?
Answer: For the second day he takes 1 + 2 = 3 pills. For the third day he takes 3 + 2 = 5 pills. For the fourth day he takes 5 + 2 = 7 pills. For the fifth day he takes 7 + 2 = 9 pills. For the sixth day he takes 9 + 2 = 11 pills. For the seventh day he takes 11 + 2 = 13 pills. For the entire week he takes a total of 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 = 49 pills. The answer is 49.
[Question]James has a room that is 13 feet by 18 feet. He increases each dimension by 2 feet. He then builds 3 more rooms of equal size and 1 room of twice that size. How much area does he have?
[Answer]He increases the length to 13 + 2 = 15 feet. He increases the width to 18 + 2 = 20 feet. So the rooms are 15 * 20 = 300 square feet. So he has 1 + 3 = 4 rooms of this size. So he has 4 * 300 = 1200 square feet of rooms this size. He also has one room of size 300 * 2 = 600 square feet. So he has 1200 + 600 = 1800 square feet of rooms. The answer is 1800.
[Question]Mary and Rose went shopping to buy presents. They spent the same amount. Mary bought two pairs of sunglasses for $50 each and a pair of jeans for $100. Rose bought a pair of shoes at $150 and two decks of basketball cards. How much did one deck of basketball cards cost?
[Answer]
Two pairs of sunglasses costs 2 x $50 = $100. So, Mary spent $100 + $100 = $200. Thus, two decks of basketball cards costs $200 - $150 = $50. Therefore, one deck of basketball cards costs $50 / 2 = $25. The answer is 25.
