Question: At a shop in Japan, women's T-shirts are sold every 30 minutes for $18, and men's T-shirts are sold every 40 minutes for $15. This shop is open from 10 am until 10 pm. How much does the shop earn selling T-shirts per week?
Answer: First, the shop is open 12 hours * 60 minutes = 720 minutes per day. So, 720 / 30 = 24 women's T - shirts sold per day. The shop earns 24 * $18 = $432 selling women's T - shirts per day. Similarly, 720 / 40 = 18 men's T - shirts are sold per day. The shop earns 18 * $15 = $270 selling men's T - shirts per day. The shop earns $432 + $270 = $702 per day selling T - shirts. The shop earns $702 * 7 = $4914 per week. The answer is 4914.

Q: Jack goes up three flights of stairs, then down six flights of stairs. If each flight of stairs has 12 steps that each each 8 inches high, how many feet further down is Jack than when he started?
A: First find the number of inches in each flight of stairs: 12 steps * 8 inches / step = 96 inches. Then find the net number of flights of stairs Jack went down: 6 flights - 3 flights = 3 flights. Then multiply than number by the number of inches per flight to find how many inches further down he is: 96 inches / flight * 3 flights = 288 inches. Then divide that number by 12 to find the number of feet down he is: 288 inches / 12 inches / foot = 24 feet. The answer is 24.
Question: Grandma Molly created statues of turtles for her front lawn. The first year, she created 4 statues and placed them on her lawn. The second year, she quadrupled the number of statues on her front lawn. In the third year, she added another 12 statues to the front lawn, but a hail storm broke 3 of the statues, which she threw away. In the fourth year, she added twice as many new statues as had been broken the year before. At the end of the four years, how many turtle statues were on her front lawn?
Answer: The second year, she quadrupled the number of statues in her front lawn, adding to the original 4 and bringing the total number to 4 * 4 = 16 statues. In the third year, she added another 12 statues, bringing the total number to 16 + 12 = 28 statues. But a hail storm broke 3, reducing the number to 28 - 3 = 25 statues. In the fourth year, she added twice as many new statues as had been broken the year before, adding 2 * 3 = 6 statues. Thus, the addition of these 6 statues brought the total number of statues to 25 + 6 = 31 statues. The answer is 31.
[Question]Irene earns $500 if she works for 40 hours a week and gets an extra $20 for every hour of overtime. If she worked 50 hours last week, calculate her total income.
[Answer]If Irene worked 50 hours last week, the total number of hours counting as overtime is 50 - 40 = 10 hours. Since she's given $20 for every hour of overtime, she earned 10 * $20 = $200 in overtime. Her total income, including the overtime, is $500 + $200 = $700. The answer is 700.
[Question]Anthony and his friend Leonel read about the importance of keeping pets at home and decided to start adopting cats and dogs from the local rescue center. Anthony has 12 cats and dogs, 2/3 of which are cats. Leonel has half times as many cats as Anthony and seven more dogs than Anthony. How many animals in total do the two have?
[Answer]
If Anthony has 12 pets, the number of cats is 2 / 3 * 12 pets = 8 cats. The number of dogs that Anthony have is 12 pets - 8 cats = 4 dogs. Leonel has 1 / 2 * 8 cats = 4 cats. If Leonel has seven more dogs than Anthony, then he has 4 dogs + 7 dogs = 11 dogs. The total number of pets the two have is 11 dogs for Leonel + 4 cats for Leonel + 4 dogs for Anthony + 8 cats for Anthony = 27. The answer is 27.
