Question: Bob and Johnny have a leaf raking business. They charge $4 for each bag of leaves they rake. On Monday they raked 5 bags of leaves. On Tuesday they raked 3 bags of leaves. On Wednesday, they counted their money and found they had $68 for all three days. How many bags of leaves did they rake on Wednesday?
Answer: Combining Monday and Tuesday, they raked 5 + 3 = 8 bags of leaves. They earned 8 * $4 = $32 for the first two days. O for Wednesday's work they earned $68 - $32 = $36. Thus, they raked $36 / $4 = 9 bags of leaves on Wednesday. The answer is 9.

[Answer]Aiguo = 20 shells. Vail = 20 - 5 = 15 shells. Stefan = 15 + 16 = 31 shells. Total = 20 + 15 + 31 = 66. The 3 children had 66 seashells altogether. The answer is 66.
Q: Tim host a show and they film multiple episodes per day. Each episode is 20 minutes long and it takes 50% longer than that to film each episode. Each week they show 5 episodes. How many hours would it take to film 4 weeks of episodes?
A: Each episode takes 20 * .5 = 10 minutes longer to film than it is. So it takes 20 + 10 = 30 minutes. They are filming 5 * 4 = 20 episodes. So it takes 20 * 30 = 600 minutes. This is equivalent to 600 / 60 = 10 hours. The answer is 10.
Question: Katy, Wendi, and Carrie went to a bread-making party. Katy brought three 5-pound bags of flour. Wendi brought twice as much flour as Katy, but Carrie brought 5 pounds less than the amount of flour Wendi brought. How much more flour, in ounces, did Carrie bring than Katy?
Answer: Katy's three 5 - pound bags of flour weigh 3 * 5 = 15 pounds. Wendi brought twice as much flour as Katy, or 15 * 2 = 30 pounds of flour. Carrie brought 5 pounds less flour than Wendi, or 30 - 5 = 25 pounds of flour. Thus, Carrie brought 25 - 15 = 10 pounds of flour more than Katy. In ounces, the 10 pound difference is 10 * 16 = 160 ounces. The answer is 160.
[Question]Ryan is considering buying a new multivitamin brand. Each pill has 50 mg of Vitamin A in it. The recommended daily serving of Vitamin A is 200 mg. How many pills does Ryan need to hit the recommended amount for the week?
[Answer]As the daily goal is 200mg and there are 7 days in a week, this means Ryan needs to take 7 * 200 = 1400mg in a week. As there is 50mg per pill, this means Ryan needs to take 1400 / 50 = 28 pills every week. The answer is 28.
[Question]Joe buys 3 oranges, 7 juices, 3 jars of honey, and 4 plants at the market. The fruit costs $4.50 each, the juice was 50 cents each, the jars of honey were $5, and the plants were 2 for $18. How much does Joe spend at the market?
