Question: Barney can perform 45 sit-ups in one minute. Carrie can do twice as many sit-ups per minute as Barney can. And Jerrie can do 5 more sit-ups per minute than Carrie can do. If Barney does sit-ups for 1 minute, and Carrie does sit-ups for two minutes, and Jerrie does sit-ups for three minutes, what would be the combined total number of sit-ups performed?
Answer: Carrie can do 2 * 45 = 90 sit - ups per minute. Jerrie can do 90 + 5 = 95 sit - ups per minute. In two minutes, Carrie would perform 90 * 2 - 180 sit - ups. And in three minutes, Jerrie would perform 3 * 95 = 285 sit - ups. Thus, in the scenario described, in total, the three would perform 45 + 180 + 285 = 510 sit - ups. The answer is 510.
[Question]Danivan Drugstore has 4500 bottles of hand sanitizer gel in inventory at the beginning of the week. On Monday 2445 bottles were sold, on Tuesday 900 bottles were sold, and 50 bottles each day for the rest of the week were sold (from Wednesday until Sunday). On Saturday, the supplier delivers an order for 650 bottles. How many bottles of sanitizer gel does the Drugstore have at the end of the week?
[Answer]The number of bottles sold on Monday and Tuesday is 2445 + 900 = 3345 bottles. Each day of the rest of the week, 50 bottles were sold, that is 5 * 50 = 250 bottles sold. Now the total of bottles sold in a week is 3345 + 250 = 3595 bottles. The drugstore has in stock 4500 3595 = 905 bottles. Finally the drugstore has 905 + 650 the supplier brought = 1555 bottles at the end of the week. The answer is 1555.
Q: Queenie earns $150 a day as a part-time clerk. She earns an additional $5 per hour as overtime pay. How much will Queenie receive for working 5 days with 4 hours overtime?
A: Queenie will earn $150 x 5 = $750 for working 5 days. She will receive an additional $5 x 4 = $20 for overtime pay. Hence, Queenie will receive a total of $750 + $20 = $770. The answer is 770.
Question: Jake has 3 snakes. Each of them lays 2 eggs. Most of the baby snakes sell for $250 but one super rare one costs 4 times as much. How much did he get from selling the snakes?
Answer: He has 3 * 2 = 6 baby snakes. So 6 - 1 = 5 sell for $250 each. So those snakes sell for 5 * $250 = $1250. The other snake sells for $250 * 4 = $1000. So in total, the snakes sold for $1250 + $1000 = $2250. The answer is 2250.

[Question]Todd bought a pair of jeans that cost $125 at full price. The jeans were on sale for 20% off. He then applied a coupon that took off $10. He paid with a store credit card that gave him another 10% off the remaining amount. How many dollars did he save on the original price of the jeans?
[Answer]
The jeans were on sale for 20% = 20 / 100 = 1 / 5 off, so the sale took 125 / 5 = $25 off. Thus, after the sale, the jeans cost $125 - $25 = $100. Todd's coupon lowered the price to $100 - $10 = $90. The store credit card gave him 10% = 10 / 100 = 1 / 10 off, so the card took $90 / 10 = $9 off. Thus, he paid $90 - $9 = $81 for the jeans. Therefore, Todd saved $125 - $81 = $44 on the original price of the jeans. The answer is 44.
