Question: Carter usually bakes 6 cheesecakes, 5 muffins, and 8 red velvet cakes regularly for a week. For this week he was able to bake triple the number of cheesecakes, muffins, chocolate moist cakes, and red velvet cakes. How much more cakes was Carter able to bake for this week?
Answer: Carter can make 6 + 5 + 8 = 19 cakes regularly for a week. For this week, he made 6 x 3 = 18 cheesecakes. He made 5 x 3 = 15 muffins. And also made 8 x 3 = 24 red velvet cakes. Carter was able to make 18 + 15 + 24 = 57 cakes for this week. Therefore, Carter was able to make 57 - 19 = 38 more cakes for this week. The answer is 38.
[Question]Chad is hosting a BBQ on the hottest day of the year, where there will be a total of 15 people. He will need 2 pounds of ice per person to account for the heat. One pound bags of ice are sold for $3.00 for a pack of 10. How much will he spend on ice?
[Answer]He's inviting 15 guests and will need 2 pounds per person so he will need 15 * 2 = 30 pounds of ice. Ice is sold in 10 - pound bags and he needs 30 pounds so he will need 30 / 10 = 3 bags of ice. Each bag is $3.00 and he needs 3 bags so they will cost 3 * 3 = $9.00. The answer is 9.

Question: The Jacksonville Walmart normally gets 120 customer complaints per day. That number increases by 1/3rd when they're short-staffed and this increases by another 20% when the self-checkout is broken. If the store was short-staffed and the self-checkout was broken for 3 days, how many complaints does the store get?
Answer: First find the number of complaints per day when the store is short - staffed: 120 complaints / day * 4 / 3 = 160 complaints / day. Then find the number of complaints per day when the self - checkout is broken and they're short - staffed: 160 complaints / day * 1.2 = 192 complaints / day. Then multiply the number of complaints per day by the number of days to find the total number of complaints: 192 complaints / day * 3 days = 576 complaints. The answer is 576.
