Question: Rick took off on a road trip for the summer. He traveled to the first destination on his trip, and then from there, he traveled twice the distance to this second destination. The third point on his trip was 40 miles away, which was half the distance he traveled from the beginning to his first destination. The final destination took twice the amount of driving of all the other legs put together. How many miles in total did he travel across all the legs of the trip?
Answer: If the third leg of Rick's trip was half the distance of the first leg, was 40 miles, this means the first leg was 40 * 2 = 80 miles long. If the second leg of the trip was twice the distance of the first leg, that means it was 80 * 2 = 160 miles long. If the fourth leg was equal in distance to the total amount traveled across the first 3 legs, that means it was equal to 40 + 80 + 160 = 280 miles long. This means in total Rick traveled 280 + 280 = 560 miles. The answer is 560.

Question: Juanita enters a drumming contest. It costs $10 to enter. She has 2 minutes to hit as many drums as she can. If she hits 200 drums, she can start to make money, equal to 2.5 cents for every drum hit. How many drums does she hit if she lost $7.5 for joining the contest?
Answer: She made $2.5 from hitting drums because 10 - 7.5 = 2.5. She hit 200 drums to start making money. She hit 100 drums in order to make the $2.5 because 2.5 / .025 = 100. She hit 300 drums in total because 100 + 200 = 300. The answer is 300.
[Question]The Dark Lord needs to transport 1200 pounds of swords to the Enchanted Forest for a battle with the elves. He has 10 squads of 8 orcs each. How many pounds of swords does each orc have to carry?
[Answer]First find how many orcs there are total by multiplying the number of orcs per squad by the number of squads: 8 orcs / squad * 10 squads = 80 orcs. Then divide the total amount of swords by the number of orcs to find the amount of swords per orc: 1200 pounds / 80 orcs = 15 pounds / orc. The answer is 15.
