Question: Asha has to buy some gifts but has no money. She decides to borrow $20 from her brother, $40 from her father, $30 from her mother and is gifted $70 by her granny. She adds this to her savings of $100 and goes out to Target to get what she wanted. If she spent 3/4 of the money, how much money did she remain with?
Answer: With the amount borrowed from her family, she has a total of 20 + 40 + 30 = 90 dollars. With the amount gifted from her granny, she has 70 + 90 = 160 dollars. She adds this to her savings, ending up with a total of 160 + 100 = 260 dollars. She spends 3 / 4 of this money, which is 3 / 4 * 260 = 195 dollars. The total she remains with is 260 - 195 = 65 dollars. The answer is 65.

[Question]Charles is jogging while listening to his favorite album. He runs at 6 MPH when he's got music on and 4 MPH when he doesn't. His album is 40 minutes long. How many minutes will it take him to jog 6 miles?
[Answer]
He runs at .1 miles per minute because 6 / 60 = .1. While the album is playing he can run 4 miles because 40 x .1 = 4. He has to run 2 miles without the album because 6 - 4 = 2. Without music he runs 1 / 15 miles per minute because 4 / 60 = 1 / 15. He will run the remaining 2 miles in 30 minutes because 2 / (1 / 15) = 30. It will take him 70 minutes in total because 40 + 30 = 70. The answer is 70.
