[Question]Biff and Kenneth decide to compete in a 500-yard rowboat race. If Biff rows at a speed of 50 yards per minute and Kenneth rows at a speed of 51 yards per minute, how many yards past the finish line will Kenneth be when Biff crosses the finish line?
[Answer]Traveling at 50 yards per minute, Biff can travel 500 yards in 500 / 50 = 10 minutes. In 10 minutes, traveling at 51 yards per minute, Kenneth can travel 10 * 51 = 510 yards. Thus, Kenneth will be 510 - 500 = 10 yards past the finish line when Biff crosses the finish line. The answer is 10.

[Question]Karl, Ryan, and Ben are fond of collecting stickers. Karl has 25 stickers. Ryan has 20 more stickers than Karl. Ben has 10 fewer stickers than Ryan. They placed all their stickers in one sticker book. How many stickers did they place altogether?
[Answer]Ryan has 25 + 20 = 45 stickers. Ben has 45 - 10 = 35 stickers. Therefore, there are a total of 25 + 45 + 35 = 105 stickers placed all together in a sticker book. The answer is 105.

[Question]An employee makes 30 dollars an hour for the first 40 hours in the workweek and an additional 50% for every hour above 40 in the week. If he works 6 hours for the first 3 days in the workweek and twice as many hours per day for the remaining 2 days, how much money did he make?
[Answer]His overtime pay per hour is 30 * 1.5 = $45 per hour. He works 6 * 2 = 12 hours per day for the last two days. He works 6 + 6 + 6 + 12 + 12 = 42 hours. He gets 42 - 40 = 2 hours of overtime. He makes 40 * 30 + 2 * 45 = $1290 for the week. The answer is 1290.

[Question]A pair of dogs are barking back and forth at each other from across the street. The poodle barks twice for every one time the terrier barks. The terrier's owner hushes it every second time it barks. She has to say "hush" six times before the dogs stopped barking. How many times did the poodle bark?
[Answer]
The terrier barked twice as many times as it was told to hush, so it barked 6 * 2 = 12 times. The poodle barked two times for every terrier bark, so it barked 12 * 2 = 24 times. The answer is 24.
