Q: Ann is 6 years old. Her brother Tom is now two times older. What will be the sum of their ages 10 years later?
A: Tom is currently two times older than Ann, which means he is 6 * 2 = 12 years old. In ten years Ann is going to be 6 + 10 = 16 years old. And Tom is going to be 12 + 10 = 22 years old. So the sum of their ages will be 16 + 22 = 38. The answer is 38.

[Question]Janet hires six employees. Four of them are warehouse workers who make $15/hour, and the other two are managers who make $20/hour. Janet has to pay 10% of her workers' salaries in FICA taxes. If everyone works 25 days a month and 8 hours a day, how much does Janet owe total for their wages and taxes for one month?
[Answer]First figure out how many hours each worker works per month by multiplying the number of days they work by the number of hours a day they work: 25 days * 8 hours / day = 200 hours. Then calculate how much one warehouse worker makes per month by multiplying their hourly rate by the number of hours they work: 200 hours * $15 / hour = $3000. Then multiply that number by 4 to find out how much all the warehouse workers make: $3000 / worker * 4 workers = $12,000. Now multiply the hours each manager works (also 200) by their hourly wage to find out how much one manager makes per month: 200 hours * $20 / hour = $4,000. Now multiply one manager's wages by the number of managers (2) to find their total wage amount: $4,000 / manager * 2 managers = $8,000. Now add the wages for the managers and the workers to find the total cost of the wages: $8,000 + $12,000 = $20,000. Now multiply the total wage bill by 10% to find how much the FICA taxes are: $20,000 * .1 = $2,000. Now add the total wage bill to the total tax amount to find the grand total: $2,000 + $20,000 = $22,000. The answer is 22000.
Q: A clothing store has an inventory of 34 ties, 40 belts, 63 black shirts, and 42 white shirts. The number of jeans in the store is two-thirds of the sum of black and white shirts, and the number of scarves is half the number of the sum of ties and belts. How many more jeans are there than scarves?
A: The sum of black and white shirts is 63 + 42 = 105. The number of jeans in the store is (2 / 3) x 105 = 70. The sum of ties and belts is 34 + 40 = 74. The number of scarfs in the store is 74 / 2 = 37. There are 70 - 37 = 33 more jeans than scarfs in the store. The answer is 33.
Question: 10 people attended class on Monday, 15 on Tuesday, and 10 on each day from Wednesday through Friday. What was the average number of people who attended class each day?
Answer: A total of 10 + 15 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 55 people attended class across the 5 days. An average of 55 people / 5 days = 11 people per day attended class. The answer is 11.
Q: On Monday a group of 7 children and 5 adults went to the zoo. On Tuesday a group of 4 children and 2 adults went as well. Child tickets cost $3, and adult tickets cost $4. How much money did the zoo make in total for both days?
A:
The total amount of children that went on both days is 7 + 4 = 11. The cost of the children's tickets is 11 $3 = $33. The total amount of adults that went on both days is 5 + 2 = 7. The cost of the adults' tickets is 7 $4 = $28. The zoo made $33 + $28 = $61 in total. The answer is 61.
