Q: John is holding a poker night with his friends and is getting the decks of cards ready before his friends show up. After losing so many cards from various decks, John thinks he needs to count exactly how many cards he has to make sure he has enough full decks for the night. Each deck of cards should hold 52 cards. He finds 3 half-full decks of cards and 3 full decks of cards. As he is arranging them, he realizes that the quality of a lot of the cards is quite poor and decides to throw 34 of the cards in the trash. How many cards does John now have?
A: In the full decks, John has a total of 52 cards in a full deck of cards * 3 full decks of cards = 156 cards. A half - full deck of cards contains 52 cards in a full deck of cards / 2 = 26 cards. So from the half - full decks, John has a total of 26 cards * 3 half - full decks = 78 cards. This is a total of 156 cards from full decks + 78 cards from half - full decks = 234 cards. After throwing some in the trash, he now holds a total of 234 cards - 34 trashed cards = 200 cards. The answer is 200.

Q: There is a rectangle that is 4 inches wide. If the rectangle's perimeter is 30 inches, what is the area of the rectangle?
A: Twice the height of the rectangle is 30 inches - 2 * 4 inches = 22 inches. The rectangle's height is 22 inches / 2 = 11 inches. The area of the rectangle is 4 inches * 11 inches = 44 square inches. The answer is 44.
Question: A Statistics student wants to find out the average daily allowance of the middle school students. According to his survey, 2/3 of the students receive an average of $6 allowance per day while the rest gets an average of $4 a day. If he surveyed 60 students, what is the total amount of money those 60 students get in a day?
Answer: There are 60 students x 2 / 3 = 40 students who have a $6 daily allowance. While there are 60 students - 40 students = 20 students who have a $4 daily allowance. The sum of the allowances of the 40 students who received $6 daily is 40 students x $6 / day = $240. The sum of the allowances of the 20 students who received $4 daily is 20 students x $4 / day = $80. The total daily amount of money of those 60 students is $240 + $80 = $320. The answer is 320.
