Question: Apples used to cost $1.6 per pound. The price got raised 25%. How much does it cost to buy 2 pounds of apples for each person in a 4 member family?
Answer: The price increase raised the price by 1.6 * .25 = $.4. So each pound of apples cost 1.6 + .4 = $2. 2 * 4 = 8 pounds of apples are bought. So the apples cost 8 * 2 = $16. The answer is 16.
[Question]Lighters cost $1.75 each at the gas station, or $5.00 per pack of twelve on Amazon. How much would Amanda save by buying 24 lighters online instead of at the gas station?
[Answer]First find how many packs Amanda would have to buy on Amazon: 24 lighters / 12 lighters / pack = 2 packs. Then multiply that number by the cost per pack to find the total cost from Amazon: 2 packs * $5 / pack = $10. Then multiply the total number of lighters Amanda buys by the cost per lighter at the gas station: 24 lighters * $1.75 / lighter = $42. Then subtract the total Amazon cost from the total gas station cost to find the savings: $42 - $10 = $32. The answer is 32.

Question: Last week, Arman worked 35 hours for 5 days at $10 per hour. This week, he will receive an increase of $0.5 per hour if he can work for 40 hours. Suppose he can work for 40 hours this week, how much will Arman receive for working two weeks?
Answer: Last week, Arman earned 35 hours x $10 / hour = $350. This week, Arman could earn 40 hours x $10.50 / hour = $420. So, he will receive $350 + $420 = $770 for working two weeks. The answer is 770.
[Question]Three friends ate a total of 8 pounds of fruit. Mario had 8 ounces of oranges, while Lydia ate 24 ounces of apples. Nicolai ate peaches. How many pounds of peaches did Nicolai eat?
[Answer]8 pounds of fruit = 128 ounces of fruit. Mario ate 8 ounces + Lydia ate 24 ounces = 8 + 24 = 32 ounces. Nicolai ate 128 - 32 = 96 ounces. 96 ounces = 6 pounds. Nicolai ate 6 pounds of peaches. The answer is 6.
[Question]In a graveyard, there are 20 skeletons. Half of these skeletons are adult women, and the remaining number are split evenly between adult men and children. If an adult woman has 20 bones in their body, and a male has 5 more than this, and a child has half as many as an adult woman, how many bones are in the graveyard?
[Answer]
We first need to figure out how many of each type of skeleton there are. Since half the 20 skeletons are adult women, that means there are 20 / 2 = 10 adult women's skeletons. The remaining half, 10, is split between adult men and children, meaning there are 10 / 2 = 5 of each. Since an adult woman has 20 bones in their body, this means that the 10 skeletons have 20 * 10 = 200 bones in total. Since an adult man has 5 more bones in their body than an adult woman, this means they have 20 + 5 = 25 bones in their body. There are 5 adult men, meaning there are 25 * 5 = 125 bones in the adult male skeletons in total. Since a child has half as many bones as the 20 in an adult woman, this means the children have 20 / 2 = 10 bones in their body. Since there are 5 children, this means there are 5 * 10 = 50 bones in the children's skeletons in total. Therefore, altogether there are 50 + 125 + 200 = 375 bones in total in the graveyard. The answer is 375.
