Answer: Julia climbed 1269 / 3 - 7 = 416 stairs. Total stairs climbed = 1269 + 416 = 1685 stairs. Together Jonny and Julia climbed 1685 stairs. The answer is 1685.
[Question]Celine collected twice as many erasers as Gabriel did. Julian collected twice as many erasers as Celine did. If they collected 35 erasers in total, how many erasers did Celine collect?
[Answer]Let x represent the number of erasers Gabriel collected. Celine collected 2 * x erasers. Julian collected 2 * x * 2 = 4 * x erasers. In total, Gabriel, Celine and Julian collected x + 2 * x + 4 * x = 7 * x erasers. 7 * x = 35. x = 5. Celine collected 5 * 2 = 10 erasers. The answer is 10.
Q: Tom broke his leg and needed to go to the doctor. The visit cost $300 and the cast cost $200. If insurance covered 60% how much was Tom's out-of-pocket cost?
A: The cost was 300 + 200 = $500. So insurance paid for 500 * .6 = $300. That means he had to pay 500 - 300 = $200 out of pocket. The answer is 200.
Question: Suki bought 6.5 bags of coffee beans that each weighed 22 kilograms. Jimmy bought 4.5 bags of coffee beans that each weighed 18 kilograms. Suki and Jimmy combined their coffee beans and then repackaged them into 8-kilogram containers. How many containers did they use?
Answer: Suki = 6.5 * 22 = 143 kg. Jimmy = 4.5 * 18 = 81 kg. 143 + 81 = 224. 224 / 8 = 28. They used 28 containers. The answer is 28.
[Question]The Zargon Destroyer spacecraft can travel at 2 billion miles per hour in normal space, but when moving through a black hole they travel three times faster. If the Zargon Destroyer is making a voyage that travels seven hours in normal space and two hours through a black hole, how many billions of miles would they have traveled?
[Answer]A spacecraft flying through normal space for seven hours at 2 - billion miles per hour travels 7 * 2 = 14 billion miles. A spacecraft flying through a black hole at 3 * 2 = 6 billion miles per hour. Thus, a spacecraft flying through a black hole for two hours travels 2 * 6 = 12 billion miles. Therefore, in total, the Zargon spacecraft will travel 14 + 12 = 26 billion miles. The answer is 26.
