Q: Javier spends 30 minutes outlining his speech, 28 more minutes writing than outlining, and half as much time practicing as writing. How much time does he spend on his speech in total?
A: First find the total time Javier spends writing: 30 minutes + 28 minutes = 58 minutes. Then divide that amount of time by 2 to find how much time he spends practicing: 58 minutes / 2 = 29 minutes. Then add the time he spends outlining, writing and practicing to find his total time spent: 29 minutes + 58 minutes + 30 minutes = 117 minutes. The answer is 117.
Question: Louis has 5 oranges and 3 apples. Samantha has 8 oranges and 7 apples. If Marley has twice as many oranges as Louis and three times as many apples as Samantha, how many fruits in total does Marley have?
Answer: Marley has twice as many oranges as Louis (who has 5 oranges) for a total of 2 * 5 = 10 oranges. He also has thrice as many apples as Samantha (who has 7 apples) for a total of 3 * 7 = 21 apples. Marley has a total of 10 + 21 = 31 fruits. The answer is 31.
[Question]Jake has 3 snakes. Each of them lays 2 eggs. Most of the baby snakes sell for $250 but one super rare one costs 4 times as much. How much did he get from selling the snakes?
[Answer]He has 3 * 2 = 6 baby snakes. So 6 - 1 = 5 sell for $250 each. So those snakes sell for 5 * $250 = $1250. The other snake sells for $250 * 4 = $1000. So in total, the snakes sold for $1250 + $1000 = $2250. The answer is 2250.
[Question]A new factory opens up and hires 20 people to make t-shirts. Each person makes on average 20 shirts per day during their 8-hour shift. The employees each get paid $12 an hour plus $5 per shirt they make. The company sells shirts for $35 each. Nonemployee expenses come out to $1000 a day. How much does the company make in profits per day?
[Answer]
Each employee gets paid 20 * 5 = $100 for the shirts they make. They also get paid 12 * 8 = $96 for hours worked. So they get a total of 100 + 96 = $196 per day. That means employee cost is 20 * 196 = $3920. The factory makes 20 * 20 = 400 shirts. So they make 400 * 35 = $14,000 from selling shirts. So they made a profit of 14,000 - 3,920 - 1,000 = $9,080. The answer is 9080.
