Q: One of Robi's new year's resolutions is to start saving. He started to save $2 in January. This is followed by $4 in February and $8 in March. If he continues this saving pattern, how much will be his total savings after 6 months?
A: Robi will save $8 x 2 = $16 in April. He will save $16 x 2 = $32 in May. He will save $32 x 2 = $64 in June. Hence, his total savings after 6 months will be $2 + $4 + $8 + $16 + $32 + $64 = $126. The answer is 126.

[Question]Sam invested $10,000 and earned 20% interest compounded for 3 years. He then invested more until he had three times as much invested. The next year, he got a 15% return on his investment. How much money does he have now?
[Answer]After one year, Sam had $10,000 * 1.2 = $12,000. After two years, he had $12,000 * 1.2 = $14,400. After the third year, he had $14,400 * 1.2 = $17,280. He then invested more money until he had 3 * $17,280 = $51,840. The first year after that, he had $51,840 * 1.15 = $59,616. The answer is 59616.
Q: Jennifer purchased 40 cans of milk at the store before meeting her classmate Mark, who was also buying milk. Jennifer bought 6 additional cans for every 5 cans Mark bought. If Mark purchased 50 cans, how many cans of milk did Jennifer bring home from the store?
A: If Mark bought 50 cans of milk, the number of times Jennifer added 6 cans for every 5 that Mark bought is 50 / 5 = 10 times. The total number of additional cans she bought is 10 * 6 = 60 cans. If she initially had 40 cans, she went home with 40 + 60 = 100 cans of milk. The answer is 100.
Question: Wendi brought home 4 chickens. After a few days, she brought home enough additional chickens to double the number of chickens she owned. Then, a neighbor's dog ate one of her chickens. Finally, Wendi found an additional 4 less than ten chickens and brought them home too. After this, how many chickens does Wendi have?
Answer: Wendi doubled her number of chickens from 4 to 4 * 2 = 8 chickens. After a dog ate one of the chickens, 8 - 1 = 7 chickens remained. 4 less than 10 is 10 - 4 = 6. Therefore, Wendi added another 4 less than ten chickens for a total of 7 + 6 = 13 chickens. The answer is 13.
Q: Camille saw 3 cardinals and four times as many robins as cardinals while bird watching. She also saw twice as many blue jays as cardinals and 1 more than three times as many sparrows as cardinals. How many birds did Camille see?
A:
Camille saw 3 x 4 = 12 robins. She also saw 3 x 2 = 6 blue jays. Triple the number of cardinals is 3 x 3 = 9. So, she saw 9 + 1 = 10 sparrows. Therefore, Camille saw 3 + 12 + 6 + 10 = 31 birds. The answer is 31.
