Question: William washes cars as a side job. He typically spends 4 minutes washing a car's windows, 7 minutes washing the car body, 4 minutes cleaning the tires, and 9 minutes waxing the car. This morning he washed 2 normal cars and one big SUV, which took twice as long as a normal car. How many minutes did William spend washing all the vehicles?
Answer: William spends 4 + 7 + 4 + 9 = 24 minutes washing a normal car. He washed 2 normal cars, so he spent 24 * 2 = 48 minutes on the normal cars. He took twice as long as one car for the SUV, so he took 24 * 2 = 48 minutes on the SUV. Thus, William spent 48 + 48 = 96 minutes washing all the vehicles. The answer is 96.
[Question]A pet shop has 2 puppies and some kittens. A puppy costs $20, and a kitten costs $15. If the stock is worth $100, how many kittens does the pet shop have?
[Answer]The 2 puppies cost 2 * 20 = 40 dollars. The stock is worth 100 dollars, meaning that the kittens cost 100 - 40 = 60 dollars. Since the cost of a kitten is 15 dollars, the pet shop has 60 / 15 = 4 kittens. The answer is 4.

A: For the tuna Barbara needed to pay 5 * 2 = $10. For the four bottles of water, she needed to pay 4 * 1.5 = $6. On different goods Barbara spend 56 - 10 - 6 = $40. The answer is 40.
Question: Sandy's goal is to drink 3 liters of water in a day. She drinks 500 milliliters of water every after 2 hours. After how many hours will she be able to drink a total of 3 liters of water?
Answer: Since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter, then 3 liters is equal to 3 x 1000 = 3000 milliliters. She needs to drink 3000 / 500 = 6 sets of 500 milliliters of water. So, she will be able to drink a total of 3 liters after 6 sets x every 2 hours = 12 hours. The answer is 12.
[Question]John has to restring 3 basses with 4 strings each, twice as many guitars which have 6 strings each, and 3 fewer 8 string guitars than the normal guitars. How many strings does he need?
[Answer]The basses take 3 * 4 = 12 strings. He restrings 2 * 3 = 6 normal guitars. That takes 6 * 6 = 36 strings. He restrings 6 - 3 = 3 guitars with 8 strings. So that uses 3 * 8 = 24 strings. So he uses 12 + 36 + 24 = 72 strings. The answer is 72.
[Question]Marnie opens a bag of chips and eats 5 of them to see if she likes them. She does, so she eats 5 more. The bag has 100 chips in it and starting on the second day she has them, Marnie eats 10 each day. How many days does it take for Marnie to eat the whole bag of chips?
[Answer]
Marnie has already eaten 5 of the chips + 5 more = 10 chips Marnie ate. The bag has 100 chips in it and Marnie has only eaten 10, 100 - 10 = 90 chips left. If Marnie eats 10 chips a day starting from the second day she has them, it will take her 90 chips in the bag / 10 chips Marine eats a day = 9 days to eat the whole bag. However, Marnie also ate chips on the first day she bought them, so 9 + 1 = 10 days to eat the whole bag. The answer is 10.
