Q: The football coach makes his players run up and down the bleachers 40 times. Each time they run up and down 32 stairs one way. If each stair burns 2 calories, how many calories does each player burn during this exercise?
A: First find the number of stairs the players climb up and down each time: 32 stairs * 2 = 64 stairs. Then multiply the number of stairs per run by the number of runs to find the total number of stairs the players climb: 64 stairs / run * 40 runs = 2560 stairs. Then multiply the number of stairs by the number of calories each stair burns: 2560 stairs * 2 calories / stair = 5120 calories. The answer is 5120.

[Question]Christian is twice as old as Brian. In eight more years, Brian will be 40 years old. How old will Christian be in eight years?
[Answer]If in eight years Brian will be 40 years old, he is currently 40 - 8 = 32 years old. Since Christian is twice as old as Brian, he is 2 * 32 = 64 years old. In 8 years, Christian will be 64 + 8 = 72 years old. The answer is 72.
Q: 55% of Toby's friends are boys and the rest are girls. If he has 33 friends who are boys, how many friends does he have who are girls?
A: Toby has 60 friends because 33 / .55 = 60. 45% of his friends are girls because 100 - 55 = 45. He has 27 friends who are girls because 60 x .45 = 27. The answer is 27.
Question: Cindy tosses 5 dimes into the wishing pond. Eric flips 3 quarters into the pond. Garrick throws in 8 nickels. Ivy then drops 60 pennies in. If Eric dips his hands into the water and pulls out a quarter, how much money, in cents, did they put into the pond?
Answer:
Cindy puts in 10 cents x 5 = 50 cents. Eric puts in 3 x 25 cents = 75 cents. Garrick puts in 8 x 5 cents = 40 cents. Ivy puts in 60 x 1 cent = 60 cents. After Eric pulls out a quarter, he has still left in the pond, 75 - 25 = 50 cents. Together, they put into the pond, this amount of money, 50 + 50 + 40 + 60 = 200 cents. The answer is 200.
