Q: Maurice is getting $2 for every finished task. And for every 10 tasks finished, he receives a $6 bonus. How much money would Maurice make for finishing 30 tasks?
A: Starting with the bonus, Maurice would receive it 30 / 10 = 3 times. This means the bonus money, would make up to 3 * 6 = $18. Maurice would do 30 tasks, so for all of them, he would receive 30 * 2 = $60. So in total Maurice would make 60 + 18 = $78 for finishing 30 tasks. The answer is 78.

[Question]Malcolm brushes his teeth for 2 minutes after breakfast, lunch and dinner. After 30 days, how many hours does he spend brushing his teeth?
[Answer]He brushes his teeth 3 times a day, after breakfast, lunch and dinner. He brushes for 2 minutes so that’s 3 * 2 = 6 minutes per day. He brushes 6 minutes per day so after 30 days he has brushed 6 * 30 = 180 minutes. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour and he brushes for 180 minutes so that’s 180 / 60 = 3 hours. The answer is 3.
Q: Jay & Gloria were hosting a 4th of July party at their house. Jay invited 22 people and Gloria invited 36. They wanted to buy small American flags for everyone. The craft store was having a sale on small flags, 5 flags for $1.00. If they wanted all of their guests to have a flag and they also wanted 1 flag each, how much would they spend at the craft store?
A: Jay invited 22 guests and Gloria invited 36 so they invited 22 + 36 = 58 guests. They also each wanted a flag so in total they would need 1 + 1 + 58 = 60 flags. The craft store has them on sale at 5 for $1.00 and they need 60 flags so the flags will cost them 60 / 5 = $12.00. The answer is 12.

Q: In the city, there is a block of flats. This block has 12 floors. Half of the floors have 6 apartments and the other half have 5 apartments. One apartment can accommodate a maximum of 4 residents. What is the maximum number of residents that can live in this block of flats?
A:
Half of the floors have different numbers of apartments. Half the number of floors is 12 floors / 2 = 6 floors. One half of the block consists of 6 floors * 6 apartments / floor = 36 apartments. And the other half consists of 6 floors * 5 apartments / floor = 30 apartments. There are 30 + 36 = 66 apartments on all floors in the block. All the apartments can therefore accommodate 66 apartments * 4 residents / apartment = 264 residents. The answer is 264.
