[Question]Tom originally was only able to lift 80 kg farmer handles per hand. After some training, he was able to double this number. He then decided to specialize and was able to get an extra 10%. How much weight can he hold in total?
[Answer]After doubling he was able to hold 80 * 2 = 160 kg per hand. Specialization gave him another 160 * .1 = 16 kg. So he lifted 160 + 16 = 176 kg per hand. That means he lifted a total of 352 kg. The answer is 352.
Q: A company hires employees on a contract basis, depending on the availability of work. In a particular month, they hired 200 more employees on the first week than on the second week, and 150 fewer employees on the second week than on the third week. If the number of employees hired on the fourth week was twice the number hired in the third week, and the number of employees on the fourth week was 400, what's the average number of employees hired per week?
A: The fourth week had twice the number of employees as the third week, so 400 / 2 = 200 employees on the third week. In the third week, they hired 150 fewer employees than on the second week, that is 200 - 150 = 50 employees hired on the second week. The first week had 200 more hirings than the second week, that is 50 + 200 = 250 employees. The total number of employees hired is 250 + 50 + 200 + 400 = 900. The average number of employees hired per week is 900 / 4 = 225 employees. The answer is 225.
Question: Grandma left $124,600 in her will. She gave half of it to her favorite grandchild, Shelby. The rest was to be evenly divided among the remaining 10 grandchildren. How many dollars did one of the remaining 10 grandchildren receive?
Answer: Shelby = (1 / 2) * 124600 = $62,300. Remaining 10 = 62,300 / 10 = $6230. Each of the remaining grandchildren would receive $6230. The answer is 6230.

Q: Thomas is training at the gym to prepare for a competition. He trained for 5 hours every day for a month (30 days). If he continues to train for the next 12 days, how many hours will he spend on training in total?

Question: There are 120 cards in a box. If 2/5 of the cards are red, exactly 5/9 of the remainder are black, and the rest are green, calculate the number of green cards in the box?
Answer:
The number of red cards in the box, 2 / 5 of the total number, is 2 / 5 * 120 = 48. The number of cards that are not red is 120 - 48 = 72. If 5 / 9 of the remaining cards are black, then there are 5 / 9 * 72 = 40 black cards in the box. If the remaining cards are green, then there are 72 - 40 = 32 green cards in the box. The answer is 32.
