Question: An airline company owns 5 airplanes. Every airplane they own has 20 rows with 7 seats in each row. Each airplane makes 2 flights a day. How many passengers can the airline company accommodate each day?
Answer: Each airplane has 20 x 7 = 140 seats. So, the 5 airplanes can accommodate a total of 140 x 5 = 700 passengers. Therefore, the airline company can accommodate 700 x 2 = 1400 passengers each day. The answer is 1400.
[Question]For an operations manager job at a company, a person with a degree earns three times the amount paid to a diploma holder for the same position. How much will Jared earn from the company in a year after graduating with a degree if the pay for a person holding a diploma certificate is $4000 per month?
[Answer]Since the pay for a person holding a degree is three times the amount paid for a diploma holder, Jared will earn 3 * $4000 = $12000 per month. In a year with 12 months, Jared will earn a total of 12 * 12000 = 144000. The answer is 144000.
Q: Carrie is trying to sneak some mashed turnips into her kids' mashed potatoes. She knows they didn't notice when she mixed 2 cups of turnips with 5 cups of potatoes. If she has 20 cups of potatoes, how many cups of turnips can she add?

The answer is 8.
Question: There are one-third as many Ford trucks as Dodge trucks in the parking lot of the Taco Castle. But there are twice as many Ford trucks as Toyota trucks in this parking lot, and there are half as many Volkswagen Bugs as there are Toyota trucks in this same parking lot. If there are 5 Volkswagon Bugs in the parking lot, how many Dodge trucks are in the parking lot of the Taco Castle?
Answer: If there are half as many VW Bugs as there are Toyota trucks in this parking lot, and there are 5 VW Bugs, then there are 2 * 5 = 10 Toyota trucks in the parking lot. And if there are twice as many Ford trucks as Toyota trucks in this parking lot, then there are 2 * 10 = 20 Ford trucks in the parking lot. And if there are one - third as many Ford trucks as Dodge trucks in the parking lot, then there are 20 * 3 = 60 Dodge trucks in the parking lot of the Taco Castle. The answer is 60.
[Question]A bus has a carrying capacity of 80 people. At the first pickup point, the number of people who entered the bus was 3/5 of its carrying capacity. If there were 50 people at the next pick-up point, how many people could not take the bus because it was full?
[Answer]At the first pick - up point, the number of people who entered the bus was 3 / 5 of its carrying capacity, a total of 3 / 5 * 80 = 48. The available seats in the bus after the first pick up point is 80 - 48 = 32. If there were 50 people in the second pick - up station, and only 32 sits were available, the number of people who did not take the bus because it was full is 50 - 32 = 18. The answer is 18.
