Q: Ryan is looking for people to crowdfund his new business idea. If the average person funds $10 to a project they're interested in, how many people will Ryan have to recruit to fund a $1,000 business if he has $200 already?
A: First, we need to determine how much money Ryan needs to hit his goal which we find by subtracting his available cash from his target, performing 1000 - 200 = 800 dollars needed. Since the average person contributes $10 when crowdfunding, this means he needs to find 800 / 10 = 80 people to fund his business well enough for him to hit his goal. The answer is 80.
Question: The tallest building in the world is 100 feet tall. If the second tallest is half that tall, and the third tallest is half as tall as the second, and the fourth is one-fifth as tall as the third, how tall are all 4 buildings put together?
Answer: If the second tallest building is half as tall as the first one's height of 100 feet, it is 100 / 2 = 50 feet tall. If the third tallest building is half as tall as the second one's height of 50 feet, it is 50 / 2 = 25 feet tall. If the fourth building is one - fifth as tall as the third one, it is 25 / 5 = 5 feet tall. Therefore, all four buildings put together would be 100 + 50 + 25 + 5 = 180 feet tall. The answer is 180.

A: First quadruple the price of the wallet: $22 * 4 = $88. Then subtract $3 to find the cost of the purse: $88 - $3 = $85. Then add the price of the wallet and purse to find the total cost: $85 + $22 = $107. The answer is 107.
