Q: New York recorded 5000 new coronavirus cases on a particular week. In the second week, half as many new coronaviruses cases as the first week was recorded by the state. In the third week, 2000 more cases were recorded in the state. What is the total number of recorded new coronaviruses in the state after the three weeks?
A: If there were 5000 new cases on the first week, the total for the second week is 1 / 2 * 5000 cases = 2500 cases. The total number of new coronavirus cases in the three weeks is 2500 cases + 5000 cases + 2000 cases = 9500 cases. The answer is 9500.
Question: James buys pistachios for $10 per can. Each can is 5 ounces. He eats 30 ounces of pistachios every 5 days. How much does he spend on pistachios per week?
Answer: The pistachios cost 10 / 5 = $2 per ounce. He eats 30 / 5 = 6 ounces of pistachios a day. So he spends 6 * 2 = $12 per day on pistachios. So he spends 12 * 7 = $84 per week. The answer is 84.
[Question]Ms. Mitsuko told the class that if the average score on their quiz is higher than 75% then they will get a pizza party. There are 25 students in the class. One student is absent and has to take the test the next day. The average score of the students who took the test was 77%. What is the lowest grade the absent student can get for the class to still get a pizza party?
[Answer]The total percentage the class needs to get is 18.75 because 25 x .75 = 18.75. The total percentage the class has absent the one student is 18.48. The lowest the absent student can get and still have a pizza party is 27% because (18.75 - 18.48)x 100 = 27. The answer is 27.

Question: Oliver is working out in a gym. On Monday he worked out for 4 hours, and the next day for 2 hours less. On Wednesday he decided to work out twice as much as on Monday. On Thursday the gym was closed, so Oliver needed to exercise at home which took twice as much time as on Tuesday. How many hours in total have Oliver worked out during these four days?
Answer: On Tuesday, Oliver worked out for 4 - 2 = 2 hours. On Wednesday he decided to work out twice as much as on Monday, so for 2 * 4 = 8 hours. On Thursday, at home, Oliver trained twice as much as on Tuesday, so for 2 * 2 = 4 hours. In total Oliver trained for 4 + 2 + 8 + 4 = 18 hours. The answer is 18.
Q: Joseph and his friends watched two movies in his house. The first movie is 1 hour and 30 minutes long while the second movie is 30 minutes longer than the first. Before the movies, they spent 10 minutes making popcorn and twice as long making fries. How long, in hours, did it take Joseph and his friends to cook and watch the movies?
A:
The first movie was 60 + 30 = 90 minutes long since an hour has 60 minutes. The second movie was 90 + 30 = 120 minutes long. It took them a total of 90 + 120 = 210 minutes to watch the two movies. It took them 10 x 2 = 20 minutes to cook the fries. Thus, it took them a total of 10 + 20 = 30 minutes to cook. So, they spent 210 + 30 = 240 minutes watching the movies and cooking. In hours, this is equal to 240 / 60 = 4 hours. The answer is 4.
