[Question]Jeanette is practicing her juggling. Each week she can juggle 2 more objects than the week before. If she starts out juggling 3 objects and practices for 5 weeks, how many objects can she juggle?
[Answer]First find the total number of additional objects she learns to juggle: 2 objects / week * 5 weeks = 10 objects. Then add the initial number of objects she could juggle to find the total: 10 objects + 3 objects = 13 objects. The answer is 13.
Q: Vanessa has decided to sell some of her clothes to make pocket money, offering a standard price for each type of item. She made a total of $69 by selling 7 dresses and 4 shirts. If she managed to sell each shirt for $5, how much did the dresses sell for each?
A: Let V be the cost of each dress. (7 * V) + (4 * 5) = $69. So, 7 * V + 20 = $69. 7V = $49. V = $49 / 7. V = $7. The answer is 7.
Question: In one week, Jake can eat 3 papayas, his brother can eat 5 papayas, and his father can eat 4 papayas. To account for 4 weeks, how many papayas does Jake need to buy from the farmer's market?

[Question]Latia wants to buy a Samsung TV worth $1700. She works for a delivery service company for a month earning $10 per hour for a 30-hour workweek. How many more hours does she have to work to buy the TV?
[Answer]In a week, Latia earns 30 * 10 = $300. In a month, she earns 300 * 4 = $1200. If the TV was worth $1700, the total amount she has to work for to buy the TV is 1700 - 1200 = $500. Since she earns $10 per hour, she'll have to work for $500 / $10 = 50 more hours to buy the TV. The answer is 50.
Q: Sophia ate 1/6 of her pie and she put the rest on the fridge. If the pie left in the fridge weighs 1200 grams, how many grams did Sophia eat?
A: If Sophia ate 1 / 6 of the pie, then 6 / 6 - 1 / 6 = 5 / 6 is left in the fridge. Let x be the pie's original weight. The current weight of the pie can be described by 5x / 6 = 1200 grams. So, 5x = 7200. And, the original weight is x = 1440 grams. So, Sophia ate 1440 grams original - 1200 grams after = 240 grams of pie. The answer is 240.
Question: Martha met Ellen in the grocery store alone and asked her age. Martha realized she was twice as old as Ellen will be in six years. If Ellen is 10 years old now, calculate Martha's age now.
