Q: Jerry had 63 pieces of candy. He divided them up equally into 9 bags. 2 of the bags had chocolate hearts. 3 of the bags were chocolate kisses. The rest of the bags were not chocolate. How many pieces of candy were not chocolate?
A: Jerry had 63 pieces of candy / 9 bags = 7 pieces of candy per bag. There were chocolate hearts in 2 bags * 7 = 14 chocolate hearts. There were chocolate kisses in 3 bags * 7 = 21 chocolate kisses. There was a total of 21 + 14 chocolate candy = 35 chocolate. Jerry started with 63 pieces - 35 chocolate = 28 pieces of non - chocolate candy. The answer is 28.

Q: Matt has a peanut plantation that is 500 feet by 500 feet. 1 square foot of peanuts can make 50 grams of peanuts. If it takes 20 grams of peanuts to make 5 grams of peanut butter and 1 kg of peanut butter sells for $10 how much does he make from his plantation?
A: His plantation is 500 * 500 = 250,000 square feet. That means he gets 250,000 * 50 = 12,500,000 grams of peanuts. So he makes 12,500,000 * 5 / 20 = 3,125,000 grams of peanut butter. So he has 3,125,000 / 1000 = 3125 kg of peanut butter. That means it sells for 3125 * 10 = $31,250. The answer is 31250.

Q: Micah can type 20 words per minute and Isaiah can type 40 words per minute. How many more words can Isaiah type than Micah in an hour?
