Q: Frank picked 36 apples. Susan picked 3 times as many apples as Frank. If Susan gave out half of her apples, and Frank sold a third of his, how many in total do they have left?
A: Susan picked 3 times as much as 36 which is 3 * 36 = 108 apples. She gave out half which is 108 * (1 / 2) = 54 apples. She now has 108 - 54 = 54 apples. Frank sold a third of 36 which is 36 * (1 / 3) = 12 apples. Frank now has 36 - 12 = 24 apples. Altogether they now have 54 + 24 = 78 apples. The answer is 78.
Question: There are 3 workers producing chairs in a furniture factory. Each of them produces 4 chairs an hour. As a group, they produce an additional chair every 6 hours. In total, how many chairs have been produced after 6 hours?
Answer: The workers produce a combined total of 3 workers * 4 hours = 12 chairs every hour. After 6 hours, they have therefore produced 12 * 6 = 72 chairs. Adding the additional chair means the total amount of chairs produced is 72 + 1 = 73 chairs. The answer is 73.

Q: Zach was a waiter in a fancy restaurant. His last table for the night was a party for 4 people. The mom ordered lobster for $25.50, the dad ordered steak for $35.00 their twin boys both ordered a cheeseburger and fries for $13.50 each. They started their meal with an appetizer that cost 8.50. Everyone also ordered a dessert that cost $6.00 each. They wanted to give a 20% tip for Zach on the bill. What did the final bill total come to?
A: The twins ordered a cheeseburger each so 2 * 13.50 = $27.00 for both cheeseburgers. Everyone ordered a dessert so 4 * 6 = $24.00 for dessert. When you add all the meals together they spent 25.50 + 35.00 + 27.00 + 8.50 + 24.00 = $120.00. Zach's tip was 20% so .20 * 120.00 = $24.00. When you add up the meals $120.00 and Zach's tip of $24.00 then the total cost is 120.00 + 24.00 = $144.00. The answer is 144.
Question: Since the 40th president launched his reelection campaign today, he has raised $10,000 in campaign funds. His friends raised 40% of this amount and his family raised 30% of the remaining amount. The rest of the funds are from his own savings for the election. How much did he save for the presidency?
Answer: The total amount of money raised from friends contribution is 40 / 100 * $10000 = $4000. Minus his friend's contribution, the 40th president has raised $10000 - $4000 = $6000. The family raised 30 / 100 * $6000 = $1800. If the family raised $1800, the savings the 40th president had for the campaign is $6000 - $1800 = $4200. The answer is 4200.
