[Question]As a freelancer, Baylor is paid for every finished work of a client he does on a freelance marketplace. Currently, he has $4000 on his dashboard from previous work done. He is currently working for three clients, with the first client paying him half the amount of money he currently has on his dashboard once the job is done. The second client will pay him 2/5 times more money than the first client once Baylor finishes his work. The third client will pay him twice the amount of money the first and second clients pay him together once he finishes the job. How much money will Baylor have in his dashboard after all the clients pay him for his work?
[Answer]The first client will pay Baylor 1 / 2 * $4000 = $2000. The second client will pay Baylor 2 / 5 times more money than the first client, a total of 2 / 5 * $2000 = $800. The total amount of money the second client will pay Baylor once the job is done is $2000 + $800 = $2800. The total amount of money the first and the second client will pay Baylor after their work is finished is $2800 + $2000 = $4800. The third client will pay him twice the amount of money the first and second clients pay him together, a total of 2 * $4800 = $9600. Together, the three clients will pay Baylor $9600 + $4800 = $14400 once he finishes their jobs. In his dashboard, Baylor will have $14400 + $4000 = $18400. The answer is 18400.
Q: Erika and her brother Rick want to buy a gift for their mother that costs $250. They have both saved money. Erika saved $155 and her brother saved only half of the cost of the gift. They also want to surprise their mother with a birthday cake that costs $25. How much money will they have left after buying their mother a gift and cake?
A: Rick's savings are half the price of the gift, which is $250 / 2 = $125. The total savings for the two siblings is $155 + $125 = $280. Mom's gift costs $250 + $25 for the cake = $275. Subtracting the total cost of the gift from the total savings, we get $280 - $275 = $5 left. The answer is 5.
Question: Yanni has 5 paintings that combined, take up 200 square feet. 3 of the paintings are 5 feet by 5 feet. 1 painting is 10 feet by 8 feet. If the final painting is 5 feet tall, how wide is it?
Answer: Each 5 by 5 painting is 25 square feet because 5 x 5 = 25. All three of them take up 75 square feet because 3 x 25 = 75. The 10 by 8 painting takes up 80 square feet because 10 x 8 = 80. These four paintings take up 155 square feet because 80 + 75 = 155. The final painting is 45 square feet because 200 - 155 = 45. If it is 5 feet wide it is 9 feet tall because 45 / 5 = 9. The answer is 9.
[Question]Delores has some money. She buys a computer for $400 and a printer for $40. If she has $10 left, how much money, in dollars, did Delores have at first?

Q: Harry participates in the auction of a classic painting. The auction starts at $300, Harry is the first to bid, adding $200 to the starting value, a second bidder doubles the bid, and a third bidder adds three times Harry's bid. Finally, Harry bids $4,000. By how much did Harry's final bid exceed that of the third bidder?
A: Adding Harry's $200 to the initial value, the bid is at 300 + 200 = $500. The second bidder doubles the previous value, reaching a value of 500 * 2 = $1000. The third bidder adds three times the value of Harry's, then adds 500 * 3 = $1500. Adding the $1500 to the value of the second bid, the bid is at 1500 + 1000 = $2500. With the final bid of $4000, Harry bids 4000 - 2500 = $1500 more than the third bidder. The answer is 1500.
