Question: To win a brand new Bible at Tom Sawyer's Sunday school, a pupil has to win 10 yellow tickets; each yellow ticket is obtained by trading in 10 red tickets; each red ticket is obtained by trading in 10 blue tickets; and blue tickets are earned by memorizing two Bible verses. But rather than go to all that trouble, Tom Sawyer has traded various toys and treasures of his with his friends until he has gathered 8 yellow, 3 red, and 7 blue tickets. How many more blue tickets would he need to earn to win a new Bible?
Answer: A red ticket is equal to 10 blue tickets, and a yellow is equal to ten red tickets, so a yellow ticket is also equal to 10 * 10 = 100 blue tickets. It takes 10 yellow tickets to win a Bible, or 10 * 100 = 1000 blue tickets. Tom has 8 yellow tickets, which are worth 8 * 100 = 800 blue tickets. He also has 3 red tickets, which are worth 3 * 10 = 30 blue tickets. Added with his 7 blue tickets, he has 800 + 30 + 7 = 837 blue tickets' worth of tickets. So he still needs to earn 1000 - 837 = 163 blue tickets. The answer is 163.

Q: Genevieve is a computer programmer working on information security software. She has written 4300 lines of code so far. Every 100 lines of code, she debugs the program. If each debugging only finds three errors, and Genevieve fixes the errors each time before proceeding, how many errors has she fixed so far?
A: Genevieve has debugged the program 4300 / 100 = 43 times. Thus, she has fixed 43 * 3 = 129 errors so far. The answer is 129.
Question: Denny is planning to build a modular home. A 400 square foot Kitchen module costs $20000 and a 150 square foot bathroom module costs $12,000. All other modules cost $100 per square foot. If Denny plans to build a 2,000 square foot modular home containing one kitchen and two bathrooms, how much will it cost, in dollars?
Answer: The kitchen and two bathroom modules will take up 400 + 150 + 150 = 700 sq. ft. of the 2000 sq. ft. of space. Thus, the remaining modular space is 2000 - 700 = 1300 sq. ft. Cost of the kitchens and bathrooms is $20,000 + $12,000 + $12,000 = $44,000. The cost of the other 1300 sq. ft. of space is 1300 * $100 = $130,000. In total, the cost of the complete 2000 sq.ft. modular home with one kitchen and two bathrooms is $44,000 + $130,000 = $174,000. The answer is 174000.
[Question]Mary just arrived at the beach. She has 4 times as many towels as Frances does. The total weight of their towels is 60 pounds. If Mary has 24 towels, how much do Frances's towels weigh in ounces?
