Question: In Fifi's closet, she hangs all of her clothes on colored plastic hangers. She has clothes hanging on 7 pink hangers, 4 green hangers, one less blue hanger than there are green hangers, and one less yellow hanger than there are blue hangers. What is the total number of colored hangers in Fifi's closet?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: With 4 green hangers, 1 less blue hanger than there are green hangers is 4 - 1 = 3 blue hangers. With 3 blue hangers, 1 less yellow hanger less than there are blue hangers is 3 - 1 = 2 yellow hangers. With 7 pink hangers, the total number of colored hangers in Fifi's closet is 7 + 4 + 3 + 2 = 16 hangers.
So the answer is 16.

Question: Jason is hiring two construction workers, one electrician and one plumber. If the construction workers each make $100/day, the electrician makes double what a worker is paid and the plumber makes 250% of a worker's salary, how much are the overall labor costs for one day?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: First find how much the electrician earns per day: $100 / day * 2 = $200 / day. Then find how much the plumber earns per day: $100 / day * 250% = $250 / day. Then find how much both workers pay together: $100 / day / worker * 2 workers = $200 / day. Then add the cost of each worker to find the total labor cost per day: $200 / day + $250 / day + $200 / day = $650 / day.
So the answer is 650.
