Question: Joseph invested $1000 into a hedge fund. The fund promised a yearly interest rate of 10%. If he deposited an additional $100 every month into the account to add to his initial investment of $1000, how much money will he have in the fund after two years?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: For the first year, Joseph will have invested $1000 + ($100 * 12) = $2200. The interest calculated for the first year will be $2200 * 10% = $220. The total value of the investment for the first year will be $2200 + $220 = $2420. For the second year, the total invested will be $2420 + ($100 * 12) = $3620. The interest calculated after the second year will be $3620 * 10% = $362. Therefore, Joseph's investment in the mutual fund will be worth $3620 + $362 = $3982.
So the answer is 3982.

Question: Aisha enjoys listening to music on her mp3 player. She starts with 500 songs on her mp3 player, then adds another 500 the week after that. She realizes her mp3 player has a large capacity for storing songs so she adds twice the amount she already had on her mp3 player. After a while, though, she decides that she doesn't like 50 of the songs and removes them. How many songs are on Aisha's mp3 player now?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Aisha starts with 500 songs + 500 songs = 1000 songs added to her mp3 player in the first two weeks. After that Aisha adds twice that amount to her mp3 player, 1000 x 2 = 2000 songs added. She now has 1000 + 2000 = 3000 songs on her mp3 player. However, she decides she wants to remove 50 of them, 3000 - 50 = 2950 songs on her mp3 player.
So the answer is 2950.

Question: Fernanda purchased six audiobooks from Audible to listen to from her audible app. If each audiobook was 30 hours long and she listened to 2 hours of an audiobook each day, calculate the total time it took her to finish the six audiobooks?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: To finish an audiobook 30 hours long, listening to 2 hours of each audiobook a day, Fernanda took 30 hours / 2 hours / day = 15 days to finish one audiobook. If she purchased 6 audiobooks, the total number of days she will take to finish all the audiobooks is 6 audiobooks * 15 days / audiobook = 90 days.
So the answer is 90.

Question: Debra is the host of a country music radio show, and she broadcasts interviews with celebrity country music singers. Each week, she interviews three singers, one at a time. The first interview segment is always twice as long as the other two segments combined, and the third interview segment is always half as long as the second. If the third segment is 10 minutes long, how many minutes long is the entire show?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: If the third segment is half as long as the second, then the second segment is twice as long as the third, or 10 * 2 = 20 minutes long. The first segment is twice as long as the other two combined, or 2 * (10 + 20) = 60 minutes. Thus, in total, the show is 10 + 20 + 60 = 90 minutes long.
So the answer is 90.
