A courier received 80 packages yesterday and twice as many today. All of these should be delivered tomorrow. How many packages should be delivered tomorrow?

In the honey shop, the bulk price of honey is $5 per pound and the minimum spend is $40 before tax. The honey is taxed at $1 per pound. If Penny has paid $240 for honey, by how many pounds has Penny's purchase exceed the minimum spend?
Let's think: Including tax, a pound of honey costs 5 + 1 = 6 dollars. The minimum purchase equals 40 / 5 = 8 pounds of honey. Penny has bought 240 / 6 = 40 pounds of honey. Penny has exceeded the minimum purchase by 40 - 8 = 32 pounds.. The answer is: 32.

Tim hires two bodyguards. They each charge $20 an hour. He hires them for 8 hour per day. How much does he pay them in a week if he hires them 7 days a week?
Let's think: It cost him 20 * 2 = $40 an hour for both of them. That means he pays 40 * 8 = $320 a day. So he pays 320 * 7 = $2240 a week.. The answer is: 2240.

James wants to learn to become a chess grandmaster. It takes 2 hours to learn the rules. It then takes him 49 times that long to get a level of proficiency to start playing in local tournaments. After that, he devotes his life to chess and spends 100 times as much as the combined time to get proficient to becoming a master. How much total time did he spend?
Let's think:
It takes him 2 * 49 = 98 hours to go from knowing how to play to proficient. So he spends 98 + 2 = 100 hours combined on those. So it takes him 100 * 100 = 10,000 hours to become a master from proficient. So the total time was 100 + 10000 = 10,100 hours.. The answer is: 10100.
