Question: After uploading her video to Youtube, Kallie received 4000 views on the first day. When she checked her channel 4 days later, she realized that the number of views had increased by a number ten times more than the views on the first day. If 50000 more people viewed the video after another two days, determine the number of views the video had gained on Youtube?
Answer: If the number of views on the first day was 4000, the video's views on Youtube increased by 10 * 4000 = 40000 after four days. The total number of views of the video on Youtube after four days was 40000 + 4000 = 44000. If 50000 more people viewed the video, the total number of views that the Youtube video had is 44000 + 50000 = 94000. The answer is 94000.

Question: Cary starts working at Game Stop for $10/hour. She gets a 20% raise the first year, but the second year the company's profits decrease and her pay is cut to 75% of what it used to be. How much does Cary make now?
Answer: First find the amount of Cary's raise by multiplying $10 by 20%: $10 * .2 = $2. Then add Cary's raise to her initial wage to find her wage after one year: $10 + $2 = $12. Then multiply that wage by 75% to find Cary's wage after her pay cut: $12 * .75 = $9. The answer is 9.

Question: Jason's dog has a tail that's half the length of its body, and a head that's 1/6 the length of its body. If the dog is 30 inches long overall, how long is its tail?
Answer:
If b is the length of the body, h is the length of the head, and t is the length of the tail, we know that b + h + t = 30, h = b / 6 and t = b / 2. We can substitute the second two equations into the first equation to get b + b / 6 + b / 2 = 30. Now multiply both sides of this equation by 6: 6b + b + 3b = 180. Now combine like terms: 10b = 180. Now divide both sides by 10: b = 180. The dog's body is 18 inches long. Now divide that length by 2 to find the length of its tail: 18 inches / 2 = 9 inches. The answer is 9.
