Q: There are 3 workers producing chairs in a furniture factory. Each of them produces 4 chairs an hour. As a group, they produce an additional chair every 6 hours. In total, how many chairs have been produced after 6 hours?
A: The workers produce a combined total of 3 workers * 4 hours = 12 chairs every hour. After 6 hours, they have therefore produced 12 * 6 = 72 chairs. Adding the additional chair means the total amount of chairs produced is 72 + 1 = 73 chairs. The answer is 73.
Question: Martha is making centerpieces for her Thanksgiving dinner. There are six centerpieces, and each centerpiece uses 8 roses, twice as many orchids as roses, and a certain number of lilies. If Martha wants to spend $2700 total, and each flower costs $15, how many lilies will she put in each centerpiece?
Answer: First figure out how many total flowers Martha is going to buy by dividing her total spending by the price per flower: $2700 / $15 / flower = 180 flowers. Now figure out how many flowers are in each centerpiece by dividing the total number of flowers by the number of centerpieces: 180 flowers / 6 centerpieces = 30 flowers / centerpiece. Now figure out how many orchids are in each centerpiece by multiplying the number of roses per centerpiece by 2: 8 roses / centerpiece * 2 = 16 orchids / centerpiece. Now subtract the number of roses and orchids per centerpiece from the total number of flowers per centerpiece to find the number of lilies per centerpiece: 30 flowers - 16 orchids - 8 roses = 6 lilies. The answer is 6.
[Question]Sunnyvale School was having a picnic. They wanted to make fruit punch. They had 4.5 liters of orange punch. They had twice as much cherry punch as orange punch and 1.5 liters less of apple juice than cherry punch. When they combined all of the fruit juices together, how many liters of fruit punch did they have?
[Answer]Orange = 4.5 L. Cherry = 2 * 4.5 = 9 L. Apple = 9 - 1.5 = 7.5 L. Total punch = 4.5 + 9 + 7.5 = 21 L. They had 21 liters of fruit punch for the picnic. The answer is 21.

Question: Johnny has been playing guitar for a while now. He practices the same amount each day. As of 20 days ago he had half as much practice as he has currently. How many days will pass before Johnny has 3 times as much practice as he does currently?
Answer: If Johnny had half as much practice as he currently has as of 20 days ago, this means he has 20 * 2 = 40 days worth of practice currently. Therefore, to have three times as much practice as he currently has, he'd need to practice for 40 * 3 = 120 days. Since he's already practiced for 40 days, this means he needs to practice or 120 - 40 = 80 more days. The answer is 80.
Q: Sam bought a heavy safe with a combination lock. There were four rows with twenty gold bars per row arranged in the safe. If each gold bar is worth $20000, calculate the total worth of the gold bars in the safe.
A:
If there were four rows of twenty gold bars arranged in the safe, the total number of bars in the safe is 4 * 20 = 80 bars. Since each gold bar is worth $20000, the 80 bars are worth 80 * $20000 = $1,600,000. The answer is 1600000.
