Question: James sells a $500,000 house for 20% over market value. He splits the revenue with his 3 brothers. How much does each person get after taxes take away 10%?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: He sells the house for 1 + .2 = 1.2 times its value. So he sells the house for 500,000 * 1.2 = 600,000. He splits the money 1 + 3 = 4 ways. So each person gets 600,000 / 4 = $150,000 before taxes. Taxes take away 150,000 * .1 = $15,000. So each person gets 150,000 - 15,000 = $135,000.
So the answer is 135000.

Question: Jane sews 2 dresses a day for 7 days. Then she sews 3 dresses a day for the next 2 days. In the end, she adds 2 ribbons to each dress. How many ribbons does Jane use in total?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: In 7 days, Jane sews 2 * 7 = 14 dresses. In the next 2 days, Jane sews 3 * 2 = 6 dresses. Jane sews a total of 14 + 6 = 20 dresses. Jane uses a total of 20 * 2 = 40 ribbons.
So the answer is 40.

Question: Rohan owns a 20-square meter coconut farm. Each square meter has 2 coconut trees and each tree has 6 coconuts. If the coconuts can be harvested every 3 months and each coconut costs $0.50, how much will he earn after 6 months?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Rohan has a total of 20 x 2 = 40 coconut trees. And he has a total of 40 x 6 = 240 coconuts. So, the total coconut he will have after 6 months is 240 x 2 = 480. Therefore, the total amount he will earn is 480 x $0.50 = $240.
So the answer is 240.

Question: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommended no more than 2 hours of screen time each day for children. Mrs. Merril wants to follow a 2-hour screen time for her child. How many minutes will she allow her child to use his gadget this evening if he already used his gadget for 45 minutes in the morning?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: Mrs. Merril wants to follow 2 hours x 60 minutes / hour = 120 minutes screen time. Since her child already used up 45 minutes, he is allowed to use his gadget this evening for 120 minutes - 45 minutes = 75 minutes.
So the answer is 75.
