Q: Tina makes $18.00 an hour. If she works more than 8 hours per shift, she is eligible for overtime, which is paid by your hourly wage + 1/2 your hourly wage. If she works 10 hours every day for 5 days, how much money does she make?
A: She works 8 hours a day for $18 per hour so she makes 8 * 18 = $144.00 per 8 - hour shift. She works 10 hours a day and anything over 8 hours is eligible for overtime, so she gets 10 - 8 = 2 hours of overtime. Overtime is calculated as time and a half so and she makes $18 / hour so her overtime pay is 18 * .5 = $9.00. Her overtime pay is 18 + 9 = $27.00. Her base pay is $144.00 per 8 - hour shift and she works 5 days and makes 5 * $144 = $720.00. Her overtime pay is $27.00 per hour and she works 2 hours of overtime per day and makes 27 * 2 = $54.00 in overtime pay. 2 hours of overtime pay for 5 days means she makes 54 * 5 = $270.00. In 5 days her base pay is $720.00 and she makes $270.00 in overtime pay so she makes $720 + $270 = $990.00. The answer is 990.
Question: A tractor trailer has a load of 50000 pounds. 10% of the weight gets unloaded at the first store, and 20% of the remaining load is removed at the second store. How much weight, in pounds, is left on the truck after the two deliveries?
Answer: First Store:50000(.10) = 5000. 50000 - 5000 = 45000 pounds. Second Store:45000(.20) = 9000. 45000 - 9000 = 36000 pounds. The answer is 36000.

Q: Janine read 5 books last month. This month, she read twice as many books. If each book has 10 pages, how many pages did Janine read in two months?
A: Janine read 5 x 2 = 10 books this month. So, she read a total of 5 + 10 = 15 books. Therefore, she read 15 x 10 = 150 pages in all. The answer is 150.
Question: Arven bought five puppies for a total cost of $800. Three puppies are on sale for $150 each. How much does each of those two other puppies cost if they cost the same?
Answer: Three puppies on sale cost $150 x 3 = $450. The other two puppies cost $800 - $450 = $350. So, each of those two other puppies cost $350 / 2 = $175. The answer is 175.
Q: Jill and her brother Jack are going apple picking. Jill's basket can hold twice as much as Jack's basket when both are full. Jack's basket is full when it has 12 apples, but currently space for 4 more. How many times could Jack's current number of apples fit into Jill's basket?
A:
Since Jill's basket can hold twice as much as Jack's, and Jack's is capable of holding 12 apples in total, this means Jill's basket can hold 12 * 2 = 24 apples in total. Since Jack has 4 less than the maximum amount of apples he can fit in his basket, this means Jack has 12 - 4 = 8 apples in his basket. Therefore, Jill's basket can hold 24 / 8 = 3 times the amount of apples Jack is currently carrying. The answer is 3.
