Q: Jerry works as an independent contractor for a company that pays him $40 per task. If each task takes him two hours to complete and he works 10 hours a day for a whole week, calculate the total amount of money he would earn at the end of the week.
A: If a task takes two hours to complete and Briar works for ten hours a day, he manages to complete 10 / 2 = five tasks a day. Since each task pays him $40, for the five tasks, he makes $40 * 5 = $200. If he works for a whole week, he makes $200 * 7 = $1400. The answer is 1400.
Question: Jade had $38 and her sister Julia had half as much money she had. On New Year's eve, their aunt gave each of them an equal amount of money so that they had a total of $97. How much did their aunt give each of them?
Answer: Julia had $38 / 2 = $19. Before their aunt gave them money, Jade and Julia had a total of $38 + $19 = $57. So, the total amount that their aunt gave them was $97 - $57 = $40. Thus, each of them was given $40 / 2 = $20. The answer is 20.
[Question]John's neighbor tells him to walk his dog for 1 hour each day for a total of $10. He does this for April, save for the 4 Sundays in April. He later spent $50 on books and gave his sister Kaylee the same amount. How much money did John have left?
[Answer]April has 30 days, so if he didn't walk the dog on Sundays, he worked for a total of 30 days - 4 days = 26 days. If each day he earned $10, he ends up with 26 days * $10 / day = $260 . After buying books and giving his sister $50, he ends up with $260 - $50 - $50 = $160. The answer is 160.
