Q: John used to be able to squat 135 pounds. After training, he increased that by 265 pounds. He then gets a magical strength-increasing bracer that increases his strength by an additional 600%. How much can he now lift?
A: He can lift 135 + 265 = 400 pound without the bracer. The bracer adds 400 * 6 = 2400 pounds. So he can now squat 2400 + 400 = 2800 pounds. The answer is 2800.
Question: Ajax is 80 kilograms. He is planning to lose some weight. Exercising for an hour will help him lose 1.5 pounds. If 1 kilogram is equal to 2.2 pounds How many pounds will he weigh if he exercises for 2 hours every day for two weeks?
Answer: Ajax weighs 80 x 2.2 = 176 in pounds. He will lose 1.5 x 2 = 3 pounds per day. So he will lose 3 x 7 = 21 pounds per week. So, he will lose 21x 2 = 42 pounds after 2 weeks. Therefore, he will weigh 176 - 42 = 134 pounds after 2 weeks. The answer is 134.

Q: Chris buys 2 and a half dozen donuts on his way to work to share with his co-workers. While driving, he eats 10% of the donuts. Once inside, he grabs another 4 donuts for his afternoon snack. How many donuts are left for his co-workers?
A: He buys 2 and a half dozen donuts so that's 2.5 * 12 = 30 donuts. He eats 10% of the donuts on his way to work so he eats .10 * 30 = 3 donuts. He bought 30 donuts and ate 3 so that leaves 30 - 3 = 27 donuts. Once inside, he grabs another 4 donuts of his afternoon snack so that leaves 27 - 4 = 23 donuts for his co - workers. The answer is 23.

Q: Elvis is releasing a new album with 10 songs, but he doesn't want to waste too much time on writing. He spends 5 hours in the studio, where he writes, records, and edits his songs. Each song takes 12 minutes to record, then it takes 30 minutes to edit all of his songs. How many minutes did it take Elvis to write each song, if each song took the same amount of time to write?
A:
5 hours in the studio is the same as 5 * 60 = 300 minutes. To record all of his songs, Elvis takes 12 * 10 = 120 minutes. After editing and recording 300 120 30 = 150 minutes are left to write all of his songs. Songwriting therefore took 150 / 10 = 15 minutes per song. The answer is 15.
