Q: Buying a toaster requires an insurance plan that is 20% of the MSRP, plus a mandatory state tax rate of 50% after the insurance plan calculation. Jon chooses to buy a toaster that costs $30 at MSRP. What is the total he must pay?
A: The insurance plan costs $30 * 0.2 = $6. The pre - state tax total is $30 + $6 = $36. State tax will be $36 * 0.5 = $18. Jon needs to pay $18 + $36 = $54 for his new toaster. The answer is 54.
Question: Vivian plays 10 Spotify songs every day. Her best friend Clara plays 2 fewer songs each day. If in June they didn't play any song during the weekends only, and there were 8 weekend days in June, what's the total number of songs they both listened to in that month?
Answer: June has 30 days, so if they didn't play any songs on weekends, then they played 30 days - 8 days = 22 days. If Vivian played 10 songs each day, the total number of songs she played for the month is 10 songs / day * 22 days = 220 songs. Clara played 2 fewer songs, which is 10 songs / day - 2 songs / day = 8 songs / day. The total number of songs played by Clara for the whole month is 8 songs / day * 22 days = 176 songs. The total played by both is 220 songs + 176 songs = 396 songs. The answer is 396.

Q: An aqua park charges $12 admission and $6 for a tour. A group of 10 people goes to the aquarium and takes the tour; while a group of 5 people only goes to the aquarium. How much does the aqua park earn?
A: A group of 10 people is charged $12 + $6 = $18 each. So, 10 people pay $18 x 10 = $180. A group of 5 people pays $12 x 5 = $60 for the admission. Thus, the aqua park earns a total of $180 + $60 = $240. The answer is 240.

Q: Mark is a lawyer who works at the county courthouse every day. It takes him 5 minutes to find parking and 3 minutes to walk into the courthouse. 2 days of the week it takes him 30 minutes to get through the metal detector and the other 3 days are less crowded so he gets through in 10 minutes. How long does he spend on all these activities in a week with 5 work days?
A:
First find how long Mark spends on parking and walking each day: 5 minutes + 3 minutes = 8 minutes. Then multiply that number by his number of workdays to find the total walking and parking time: 8 minutes / day * 5 days / week = 40 minutes / week. Then multiply the number of long - wait days by the time of each long wait: 2 days / week * 30 minutes / day = 60 minutes / week. Then multiply the number of short - wait days by the time of each short wait: 3 days / week * 10 minutes / day = 30 minutes / week. Then add the length of time Mark spends on each activity to find the total time spent: 30 minutes / week + 60 minutes / week + 40 minutes / week = 130 minutes / week. The answer is 130.
