Q: Joseph has a refrigerator, a water heater in his house, and an electric oven that consumes power at different rates. The total amount of money that Joseph pays for the energy used by the refrigerator is three times the amount he pays for the power used by the water heater. If the electric oven uses power worth $500 in a month, twice what Joseph pays for the power the water heater uses, calculate the total amount he pays for the power used by these gadgets.
A: If the electric oven uses power worth $500 in a month, twice what Joseph pays for the power the water heater uses, Joseph pays 1 / 2 * $500 = $250 for power used by the water heater. The total amount of money that Joseph pays for the power used by the water heater and the electric oven is $250 + $500 = $750. The total amount of money that Joseph pays for the energy used by the refrigerator is three times the amount he pays for the power used by the water heater, a total of 3 * $250 = $750. For the three gadgets, Joseph pays $750 + $750 = $1500 for the power they use. The answer is 1500.

[Question]Maddy was given 40 chocolate eggs for Easter. She likes to eat two each day after school. If Maddy has two chocolate eggs after school each day, how many weeks will they last?
[Answer]Maddy is eating 2 eggs each day after school and there are 5 school days in a week, so she eats 2 x 5 = 10 eggs each week. Since Maddy has 40 eggs / 10 eggs each week, they will last 4 weeks. The answer is 4.
Q: Out of the 200 apples in an orchard, 40 percent were rotten. Also, 70 percent of the rotten apples smelled. How many rotten apples in the orchard did not smell?
A: The number of apples in the orchard which were rotten is 40 / 100 * 200 = 80. Out of the 80 rotten apples, 70 / 100 * 80 = 56 were smelling. The number of rotten apples in the orchard which were not smelling is 80 - 56 = 24. The answer is 24.
Question: Lorenzo put three full cans of thumbtacks into his pocket and went off to work at the corkboard factory. It was Lorenzo's job, as head of quality control, to test every cork board for its ability to hold thumbtacks. He placed one thumbtack from each of the three cans of thumbtacks into every board tested. At the end of the day, he had tested 120 boards and had 30 tacks remaining in each of the three cans. What was the total combined number of thumbtacks from the three full cans?
Answer:
At the end of the day, he had tested 120 boards, each with three tacks, for a total of 3 * 120 = 360 tacks. He had 30 tacks remaining in each of the three cans, for an additional 3 * 30 = 90 thumbs tacks. Therefore, the original total combined number of thumbtacks in the three full cans of thumbtacks was 360 + 90 = 450 thumbtacks. The answer is 450.
