James creates a media empire. He creates a movie for $2000. Each DVD cost $6 to make. He sells it for 2.5 times that much. He sells 500 movies a day for 5 days a week. How much profit does he make in 20 weeks?
Let's think: He sold each DVD for 6 * 2.5 = $15. So he makes a profit of 15 - 6 = $9. So each day he makes a profit of 9 * 500 = $4500. So he makes 4500 * 5 = $22,500. He makes 22,500 * 20 = $450,000. Then after the cost of creating the movie he has a profit of 450,000 - 2000 = $448,000.. The answer is: 448000.

James buys 5 packs of beef that are 4 pounds each. The price of beef is $5.50 per pound. How much did he pay?
Let's think: He bought 5 * 4 = 20 pounds of beef. So he paid 20 * 5.5 = $110.. The answer is: 110.

At the beginning of the day there were 74 apples in a basket. If Ricki removes 14 apples and Samson removes twice as many as Ricki. How many apples are left in the basket by the end of the day?
Let's think: There are 74 - 14 = 60 apples left after Ricki removes some. Samson removes 14 * 2 = 28 apples. There are 60 - 28 = 32 apples left after Samson removes some.. The answer is: 32.

Faith went to a baking shop and bought flour that cost $5 and a cake stand that costs $28. She then gave the cashier two $20 bills and $3 in loose coins. How much change will she receive?
Let's think:
Faith must pay $28 + $5 = $33 for the flour and cake stand. Her two $20 bills amount to $20 x 2 = $40. So, she gave the cashier a total of $40 + $3 = $43. Hence, her change is $43 - $33 = $10.. The answer is: 10.
