Bill is buying healthcare on an exchange. The normal monthly price of the plan he wants is $500. The government will pay for part of this cost depending on Bill's income: 90% if he makes less than $10,000, 50% if he makes between $10,001 and $40,000, and 20% if he makes more than $50,000. Bill earns $25/hour and works 30 hours per week, four weeks per month. How much will Bill spend for health insurance in a year?
Let's think: First find how much money Bill makes every week by multiplying his hourly rate by the number of hours he works each week: $25 / hour * 30 hours / week = $750 / week. Then multiply that number by the number of weeks per month to find his monthly earnings: $750 / week * 4 weeks / month = $3,000 / month. Then multiply his monthly earnings by the number of months in a year to find his annual income: $3,000 / month * 12 months / year = $36,000 / year. This income means Bill gets a 50% monthly healthcare subsidy from the government. Multiply the cost of the premium by 50% to find the monthly cost Bill pays: $500 / month * .5 = $250 / month. Finally, multiply Bill's monthly cost by the number of months in a year to find his annual cost: $250 / month * 12 months / year = $3,000 / year.. The answer is: 3000.

Lard decides to share a pizza with his friend Jelly. He takes a whole, uncut pepperoni pizza and cuts it in half. He then cuts these halves in half and gives one of the slices to Jelly. Assuming the pizza started with 40 evenly spread slices of pepperoni, how many slices of it are on the slice Lard gives Jelly if 1 of them falls off the slice when Lard picks it up?
Let's think: First, we need to determine how many slices the pizza was cut into. To do this, we start by performing 1 * 2 = 2 slices after the pizza was cut in half once. Each of these slices was cut in half again, yielding 2 * 2 = 4 slices in total. Next, we divide the total amount of pepperoni slices by the number of pizza slices, as the pepperoni was spread evenly. We find there are 40 / 4 = 10 slices of pepperoni per pizza slice. Since 1 slice of pepperoni fell off Jelly's slice, this means there are 10 - 1 = 9 slices left on her slice.. The answer is: 9.

A driver travels 30 miles per hour for 3 hours and 25 miles per hour for 4 hours to deliver goods to a town every day from Monday to Saturday. How many miles does the driver travel in a week?
Let's think: The driver travels (3 hours * 30 mph) + (25 mph * 4 hours) = 190 miles per day. From Monday to Saturday he travels in total 190 miles / day * 6 days = 1,140 miles in a week.. The answer is: 1140.

There are 14 red crayons, 5 more blue crayons than red crayons, and 6 less yellow crayons than double the blue crayons. How many yellow crayons are there?
Let's think:
Red:14 crayons. Blue:5 + 14 = 19 crayons. Yellow:19(2) - 6 = 32 crayons.. The answer is: 32.
