Q: The price of buying a wooden toy at the new Craftee And Best store is $20, and the cost of buying a hat is $10. If Kendra went to the shop with a $100 bill and bought two wooden toys and three hats, calculate the change she received.
A: When Kendra bought 2 toys, she paid 2 * $20 = $40. Since the price of a hat is $10, when Kendra bought 3 hats, she paid 3 * $10 = $30. The total costs for the hats and wooden toys Kendra bought is $40 + $30 = $70. From the $100 bill, Kendra received change worth $100 - $70 = $30. The answer is 30.

[Question]Tom decides to open a theater. He knows it will cost $5 per square foot of space that he needs and he needs 12 square feet for every seat in his theater. He wants a 500 seat theater. He also realizes construction will cost twice as much as the land. He has a partner who covers 40% of the cost. How much does Tom spend?
[Answer]He needs 500 * 12 = 6000 square feet. This means it cost $5 * 6000 = $30,000. That means construction comes to $30000 * 2 = $60,000. So the total cost is $60000 + $30000 = $90,000. His partner covers $90,000 * .4 = $36,000. So he has to pay $90,000 - $36,000 = $54,000. The answer is 54000.

Q: Barbie enjoys buying jewelry. One day, she bought 12 pairs of earrings, and gave half of them to Alissa, making Alissa's total number of collections to be triple the number of earrings she was given. How many earrings does Alissa have now?
A:
If 1 pair of earrings equals 2 earrings, then Barbie bought 12 * 2 = 24 earrings. Half of 24 earrings is 24 / 2 = 12 earrings. If receiving 12 earrings tripled Alissa's collection, then she now has 12 * 3 = 36 earrings. The answer is 36.
