[Question]Juan bought T-shirts for his employees. He bought shirts for men and women. Women's t-shirts are $5 cheaper than men's t-shirts of the same color. His company has 2 sectors, one in white t-shirts and the other in black t-shirts. He paid $20 for white men's t-shirts and $18 for black men's t-shirts. The 2 sectors have the same number of men and women, with a total of 40 employees. How much did he spend total on buying t-shirts?
[Answer]For each type of shirt, he needed to buy, 40 employees / 4 = 10 shirts. White men's T - shirts cost $20 / shirt * 10 shirts = $200. White women's T - shirts cost $5 less, or ($20 / shirt - $5 / shirt) * 10 shirts = $15 / shirt * 10 shirts = $150. Black men's t - shirts cost, $18 / shirt * 10 shirts = $180. Black women's T - shirts cost $ 5 less, so ($18 / shirt - $5 / shirt) * 10 shirts = $13 / shirt * 10 shirts = $130. Now add up all these quantities to find the total: $200 + $150 + $180 + $130 = $660. The answer is 660.
Q: A classroom of 15 students turned in essays on Friday morning. The first 5 students each turned in essays with 2 pages. The next 5 students each turned in essays with 3 pages. The last 5 students each turned in essays with 1 page. What is the average page count per essay for the 15 students?
A: The first 5 students turned in a total of 2 * 5 = 10 pages. The next 5 students turned in a total of 3 * 5 = 15 pages. The last 5 students turned in a total of 1 * 5 = 5 pages.

Question: James opens up a flower shop. He needs to pay rent of $1200 a week with an additional 20% of rent to pay for utilities and he has 2 employees per shift with the store open 16 hours a day for 5 days a week. If he pays each employee $12.50 an hour, what are his weekly expenses to run the store?
Answer: He is open 16 * 5 = 80 hours a week. So he pays each of his employees 12.5 * 80 = $1000 per week. Since there are two employees, he pays them in total 2 * $1000 = $2000 per week. The utilities cost 1200 * .2 = $240. So his total cost per week is 1200 + 2000 + 240 = $3440. The answer is 3440.

Q: An apartment complex has 4 identical buildings. Each building has 10 studio apartments, 20 2 person apartments, and 5 4 person apartments. How many people live in the apartment complex if it has 75% of its maximum occupancy?
A: First, we find out how many people live in each building. In addition to 10 1 person apartments, as a studio apartment is for a single person, there are 20 2 person apartments meaning there are 20 * 2 = 40 people capable of living there. We then find out how many people can live in the 4 person apartments by multiplying the number of available 4 person apartments by 4, performing 5 * 4 = 20 people capable of living there. So, in 1 building there is room for 10 + 40 + 20 = 70 people. We multiply this by the 4 buildings in total, finding a maximum occupancy of 4 * 70 = 280 people. We then multiply this by .75 to find out how many people would live there at 75% of maximum occupancy, performing 280 * .75 = 210 people. The answer is 210.
