Q: September's temperature fluctuated severely in 1 week. They started off with 40 degrees on Sunday then hit 50 on Monday, 65 on Tuesday, 36 on Wednesday, 82 on Thursday, 72 on Friday and ended the week at 26 on Saturday. What was the average temperature for that week?
A: When you add up the temperature for the entire week, it comes to 40 + 50 + 65 + 36 + 82 + 72 + 26 = 371. These temperatures were over 7 days so the average temperature was 371 / 7 = 53 degrees. The answer is 53.

[Question]The country of Belize had a 5 lane bridge that had 2000 vehicles passing through it every month. They decided to build a new bridge that had twice the capacity of the old one, and the number of vehicles passing through the new one increased by 60% more than the old bridge. If the bridges work concurrently for a year, calculate the total number of vehicles that pass through the two bridges.
[Answer]In a year with 12 months, the total number of vehicles passing through the old bridge is 2000 * 12 = 24000. The new bridge has a capacity of 60 / 100 * 2000 = 1200 more vehicles passing through it in a month than the old one. The total number of vehicles passing through the new bridge in a month is 2000 + 1200 = 3200. There are 3200 * 12 = 38400 vehicles passing through the new bridge in a year. Altogether, the two bridges have 38400 + 24000 = 62400 vehicles passing through them in a year. The answer is 62400.

Question: Jude bought three chairs for his house, all at the same price. He also bought a table that costs $50 and two sets of plates at $20 for each set. After giving the cashier $130, Jude got a $4 change. How much did each of the chairs cost?
Answer: The two sets of plates amount to $20 x 2 = $40. So the table and the two sets of plates amount to $50 + $40 = $90 in all. Since Jude received a $4 change, then he paid a total of $130 - $4 = $126 for the chairs, tables, and plates. Thus, the three chairs cost $126 - $90 = $36. Therefore, each chair cost $36 / 3 = $12. The answer is 12.
