Q: Hannah bought a new washing machine for $100 and a dryer that costs $30 less. Hannah got a 10% discount for buying two appliances. How much did Hannah pay for the two appliances after the discount?
A: The dryer costs $100 - $30 = $70. So the washing machine and dryer cost $100 + $70 = $170. Hannah got $170 x 10 / 100 = $17 discount. Thus, Hannah paid $170 - $17 = $153. The answer is 153.
Question: Travis has 10000 apples, and he is planning to sell these apples in boxes. Fifty apples can fit in each box. If he sells each box of apples for $35, how much will he be able to take home?

[Question]Lorraine made a pan of brownies and cut them into 16 pieces. Her children ate 25% of the brownies when they got home from school. After dinner, the entire family ate 50% of the remaining brownies. After everyone went to bed, Lorraine ate 1 more brownie. How many brownies are left over?
[Answer]Her children ate 25% of the 16 brownies so they ate .25 * 16 = 4 slices. There were 16 brownies and the children ate 4 slices, leaving 16 - 4 = 12 brownies. The family ate 50% of the remaining 12 brownies so they ate .50 * 12 = 6 brownies. There were 12 brownies and they ate 6 which leaves 12 - 6 = 6 brownies. Lorraine had 1 more of the 6 remaining brownies which leaves 6 - 1 = 5 brownies. The answer is 5.
Q: Calen originally had 5 more pencils than does Caleb, and Caleb has 3 less than twice as many pencils as does Candy. If Calen lost 10 pencils, which left him with 10 pencils, then how many pencils does Candy have?
A: If Calen lost 10 pencils, which left him with 10 pencils, then Calen originally had 10 + 10 = 20 pencils. Calen originally had 5 more pencils than does Caleb, and thus Caleb has 20 - 5 = 15 pencils. Let's let "x" represent the number of pencils owned by Candy. Since Caleb has 3 less than twice as many pencils as does Candy, then (2 * x) - 3 = 15. This simplifies to 2 * x = 18. Thus, the number of pencils owned by Candy is x = 9 pencils. The answer is 9.
Question: On a construction site, the Laker cement factory provided 500 bags of cement sold to Mr. Zander at $10 per bag. Mr. Zander also received twenty lorries of construction sand, each carrying 10 tons of sand, sold at $40 per ton. How much money did Mr. Zander pay for these construction materials?
Answer: The total cost for the sand is 500 * 10 = $5000. Since each lorry was carrying 10 tons of sand, the twenty lorries carried 20 * 10 = 200 tons. At $40 per ton, Mr. Zander paid 200 * $40 = $8000 for the sand that was delivered to his construction site. Altogether, Mr. Zander paid $8000 + $5000 = $13000 for the delivered construction materials. The answer is 13000.
Q: You walk twice as fast as Mr. Harris, and Mr. Harris took 2 hours to walk to the store. If your destination is 3 times further away than the store Mr. Harris walked to, how many hours will it take you to get there?
A:
First we find out how long it would take Mr. Harris to walk to your destination, which we find by multiplying his 2 hour walk by 3 since your destination is 3 times further away, meaning it would take him 2 * 3 = 6 hours. Since you walk twice as fast, it would take you half the time. Half of 6, 6 / 2 = 3 hours in total. The answer is 3.
