Question: Alyssa took 100 photos on vacation. She wants to put them in a photo album with 30 pages. She can place 3 photos each on the first 10 pages. Then she can place 4 photos each on the next 10 pages. If she wants to put an equal number of photos on each of the remaining pages of the album, how many photos can she place on each page?
Answer: There are 3 x 10 = 30 photos in total that can be placed in the first 10 pages. There are 4 x 10 = 40 photos in total that can be placed in the next 10 pages. A total of 10 + 10 = 20 pages of the album have been used. A total of 30 + 40 = 70 photos can be placed on those 20 pages. So there are still 100 - 70 = 30 photos left to be placed on the album. And there are 30 - 20 = 10 pages left in the album. Therefore, 30 / 10 = 3 photos can be placed on each of the pages. The answer is 3.
[Question]Timothy and Theresa go to the movies very often. Timothy went to the movies 7 more times in 2010 that he did in 2009. In 2009, Timothy went to the movies 24 times. In 2010 Theresa went to see twice as many movies as Timothy did, but in 2009, she only saw half as many as he did. How many movies did Timothy and Theresa go on in both 2009 and 2010?
[Answer]In 2010 Timothy watched 24 + 7 = 31 movies. In 2010 Theresa watched 31 * 2 = 62 movies. In 2009 Theresa watched 24 / 2 = 12 movies. In both 2009 and 2010 Timothy and Theresa watched 24 + 31 + 62 + 12 = 129 movies. The answer is 129.
Q: Abe owns a restaurant. Every month he spends a third of his budget on food, a quarter of his budget on restaurant supplies, and the rest of his budget on employee wages. If his budget is $3000 and he uses it up every month, how much is he spending on wages?
A: Abe is spending a third of his budget on food, so he spends $3000 / 3 = $1000 on food. He spends a quarter of his budget on restaurant supplies, so he spends $3000 / 4 = $750 on supplies. Thus, he spends $3000 - $1000 - $750 = $1250 on employee wages every month. The answer is 1250.
Question: Jim buys a package of 20 car washes. Since He bought a package he only has to pay 60%. A carwash normally costs 15 dollars. How much did he pay for the package?

[Question]Bruce buys 5 packs of crayons at $5 each, 10 books at $5 each, and 3 calculators at $5 each. If he has $200, how many bags can he buy with the change if one costs $10 each?
[Answer]He pays 5 * 5 = $25 for buying crayons. He pays 10 * 5 = $50 for buying books. He pays 3 * 5 = $15 for buying calculators. The change he has for buying bags is 200 - 25 - 50 - 15 = $110. The number of bags he can buy is 110 / 10 = 11 bags. The answer is 11.
[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]
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. The answer is 650.
