All people named Barry are nice, while only half of the people named Kevin are nice. Three-fourths of people named Julie are nice, while 10% of people named Joe are nice. If a crowd contains 24 people named Barry, 20 people named Kevin, 80 people named Julie, and 50 people named Joe, how many nice people are in the crowd?
Let's think: If all people named Barry are nice, and the crowd contains 24 people named Barry, then 1 * 24 = 24 of these people are nice. If only half of people named Kevin are nice, and the crowd contains 20 people named Kevin, then 0.5 * 20 = 10 of these people are nice. If three - fourths of people named Julie are nice, and the crowd contains 80 people named Julie, then (3 / 4) * 80 = 60 of these people are nice. If 10% of people named Joe are nice, and the crowd contains 50 people named Joe, then 0.1 * 50 = 5 of these people are nice. In total, the crowd contains 24 + 10 + 60 + 5 = 99 people who are nice.. The answer is: 99.

During the Christmas holidays, all shops are closed for 3 days. During each day during this time, a shop called "Surprise" could have earned 5 thousand dollars. How much potential revenue did the "Surprise" shop lose during 6 years of activity?
Let's think: In one day the shop is losing 5 thousand dollars, so during three days, the losses are 5 * 3 = $15,000. Christmas holidays are once a year, so in 6 years the shop "Surprise" could have earned another $15,000 * 6 = $90,000.. The answer is: 90000.

A classroom of 15 students turned in essays on Friday morning. The first 5 students each turned in essays with 2 pages. The next 5 students each turned in essays with 3 pages. The last 5 students each turned in essays with 1 page. What is the average page count per essay for the 15 students?
