Q: John decides to stop delivering the newspapers he is supposed to deliver and instead steals them to recycle them for cash. The Monday-Saturday papers weigh 8 ounces each. The Sunday paper weighs twice as much. He is supposed to deliver 250 papers a day. He doesn't deliver them for 10 weeks. If one ton of paper recycles for $20, how much did he make?
A: We know that 7 - 1 = 6 days the paper weighs 8 ounces. So those contribute 6 * 8 = 48 ounces per week. So in total a weekly delivery of papers weighs 48 + 16 = 64 ounces. That means it weighs 64 / 16 = 4 pounds. So each week he delivers 4 * 250 = 1000 pounds of paper. So in 10 weeks, he delivers 10 * 1000 = 10000 pounds of paper. That weighs 10000 / 2000 = 5 tons of paper. So he makes 5 * 20 = $100 from recycling the paper. The answer is 100.

Q: Sarah is playing tic-tac-toe. She wins $1 for every game she wins, $0 for every game she ties, and she loses $2 for every game she loses. If she played 100 games where she tied 40 of them, and she lost $30, how many games did she win?
A: She either won or lost 60 games because 100 - 40 = 60. We know that 1(60 - Losses) - 2(Losses) = - 30 because she lost $30. Therefore 60 - Losses - 2 Losses = - 30. Therefore - 3 Losses = - 90. Therefore, Losses = 30. The answer is 30.

Q: Javier exercised for 50 minutes every day for one week. Sanda exercised for 90 minutes on each of three days. How many minutes did Javier and Sanda exercise in total?
A:
Javier = 50 * 7 = 350 minutes. Sanda = 90 * 3 = 270 minutes. Total = 350 + 270 = 620 minutes. Together Javier and Sanda exercised for 620 minutes. The answer is 620.
