Q: Latia wants to buy a Samsung TV worth $1700. She works for a delivery service company for a month earning $10 per hour for a 30-hour workweek. How many more hours does she have to work to buy the TV?
A: In a week, Latia earns 30 * 10 = $300. In a month, she earns 300 * 4 = $1200. If the TV was worth $1700, the total amount she has to work for to buy the TV is 1700 - 1200 = $500. Since she earns $10 per hour, she'll have to work for $500 / $10 = 50 more hours to buy the TV. The answer is 50.
Question: Samuel has $5, $10, and $20 bills which amount to $150 in his wallet. His $10-bills amount to $50, and he has 4 $20-bills. How many bills does Samuel have in his wallet?
Answer: His $20 bills amount to 4 x $20 = $80. So the total amount of the $10 and $20 bills is $80 + $50 = $130. Hence, the remaining $5 bills amount to $150 - $130 = $20. This means that there are $20 / $5 = 4 $5 bills. There are also $50 / $10 = 5 $10 bills. Therefore, Samuel has 4 + 4 + 5 = 13 bills in his wallet. The answer is 13.
[Question]Colleen is making a batch of 48 cookies. She's going to add 108 chocolate chips and one-third as many M&Ms to the whole batch. What are the average number of chocolate pieces in each cookie?
[Answer]First find the total number of M&Ms: 108 chocolate chips / 3 chocolate chips / 1 M&M = 36 M&Ms. Then add that number to the number of chocolate chips to find the total number of pieces of chocolate: 36 M&Ms + 108 chocolate chips = 144 chocolates. Then divide the total number of chocolates by the number of cookies to find the number of pieces of chocolate per cookie: 144 chocolates / 48 cookies = 3 chocolates / cookie. The answer is 3.

A: In total, the 12 croutons have 20 calories / crouton * 12 croutons = 240 calories. Together, the croutons, lettuce and cucumber have 240 + 30 + 80 = 350 calories. The answer is 350.
Question: Mr. Maximilian has a rental building that he collects rent from every month. The number of units in the building is 100. If the building is 3/4 occupied for a whole year, and each resident of the building pays a rent of $400, calculate the amount of money Mr. Maximilian receives in that year.
Answer:
Since there are 100 units, the number of units occupied by tenants is 3 / 4 * 100 = 75. If each tenant pays $400 every month, Mr Maximilian receives 75 * $400 = $30000 in rent revenue every month. In a year, Mr Maximilian receives $30000 * 12 = $360000 in rent revenue. The answer is 360000.
