Question: Heather made four times as many pizzas as Craig made on their first day at work at Mr. Pizza Inns. On their second day, Heather made 20 fewer pizzas than Craig's number. If Craig made 40 pizzas on their first day and 60 more pizzas on their second day than their first day, calculate the total number of pizzas the two made together in the two days.
Answer: Craig made 40 pizzas on their first day at work, while heather made four times that number, a total of 4 * 40 = 160 pizzas. Together, they made 160 + 40 = 200 pizzas on their first day. On the second day, Craig made 60 more pizzas than his first day at work, which totals 60 + 40 = 100 pizzas. On the same day, Heather made 20 fewer pizzas than Craig, a total of 100 - 20 = 80 pizzas. Together, they made 80 + 100 = 180 pizzas on the second day. In the two days, the two of them made a total of 180 + 200 = 380 pizzas. The answer is 380.
[Question]Haleigh decides that instead of throwing away old candles, she can use the last bit of wax combined together to make new candles. Each candle has 10% of it's original wax left. How many 5 ounce candles can she make if she has five 20 oz candles, 5 five ounce candles, and twenty-five one ounce candles?
[Answer]She gets 2 ounces of wax from a 20 ounce candle because 20 x .1 = 2. She gets 10 ounces total from these candles because 5 x 2 = 10. She gets .5 ounces of wax from each five ounce candle because 5 x .1 = .5. She gets 1.5 ounces total from these candles because 5 x .5 = 2.5. She gets .1 ounces from each one ounce candle because 1 x .1 = .1. She gets 2.5 ounces from these candles because 25 x .1 = 2.5. She gets 15 ounces total because 10 + 2.5 + 2.5 = 15. She can make 3 candles because 15 / 5 = 3. The answer is 3.

Question: Each year Dani gets 4 pairs of two pants each as pay winning the best Amazon buyer of the season. If he initially had 50 pants, calculate the number of pants he'll have in 5 years.
Answer: Since he receives four pairs of pants every year, and a pair has two pants, he gets 4 * 2 = 8 pants every year. After five years, the total number of pants he'll receive is 5 * 8 = 40 pants. If he initially had 50 pants, he'll have a total of 50 + 40 = 90 pants in five years. The answer is 90.
