Q: Annie does a survey of the sixth-grade classes to see who prefers pretzels to goldfish. In Miss Johnson's class, 1/6 of the students preferred goldfish. In Mr. Feldstein's class, 2/3rds of the students preferred goldfish. In Ms. Henderson's class, 1/5 of the students prefer goldfish. If each class has 30 students, how many people total prefer goldfish?
A: First find the number of students in Mr. Feldstein's class who prefer goldfish: 2 / 3 * 30 students = 20 students. Then find the number of students in Mr. Feldstein's class who prefer goldfish: 1 / 6 * 30 students = 5 students. Then find the number of students in Ms. Henderson's class who prefer goldfish: 1 / 5 * 30 students = 6 students. Then add the number of students from each class who prefer goldfish to find the total: 20 students + 5 students + 6 students = 31 students. The answer is 31.

[Question]Tom fills a 250 pound sandbag 80% full. But the filling material he is using is 40% heavier than sand. How much does the bag weigh?
[Answer]The bag full of sand would weigh 250 * .8 = 200 pounds. The filling material would make it 200 * .4 = 80 pounds heavier. So it weighs 200 + 80 = 280 pounds. The answer is 280.
Q: Alice and Bob are each given $2000 to invest. Alice puts all of her money in the stock market and doubles her money. Bob invests in real estate and makes five times more money than he invested. How much more money does Bob have now than Alice?
A: When Alice invested her money in the stock market, her money doubled to $2000 * 2 = $4000. Bob, after investing in real estate, increased his money by 2000 * 5 = 10000. The total amount of money that Bob made after investing in real estate is $10000 + $2000 = $12000. Bob made $12000 - $4000 = $8000 more than Alice after investing his money. The answer is 8000.
