Q: Stella collects stamps. She counted 50 pages in her collector's album. There are 5 rows of 30 stamps in each of the first 10 pages of her album. The rest of the pages each have 50 stamps. How many stamps are in Stella's album?
A: There are 30 x 5 = 150 stamps on each of the first 10 pages. So she has a total of 150 x 10 = 1500 stamps in the first 10 pages. There are 50 - 10 = 40 pages that have 50 stamps each. There is a total of 40 x 50 = 2000 stamps in the remaining 40 pages. Therefore, Stella has 2000 + 1500 = 3500 stamps in her album. The answer is 3500.

Q: It takes 3 men an hour to complete a job. If they are hired to work on 5 such similar jobs by a company that pays each of them $10 per hour, calculate the total amount of money the three will earn when they complete the jobs?
A: Since they are paid $10 each per hour of work and can complete a job in one hour, they earn a total of $10 * 3 = $30 together for an hour of work. If they earn together $30 for one job, for the five jobs, they'll earn $30 * 5 = $150. The answer is 150.

Q: The total distance between 2 towns is 200 miles. Roger and his friend drove 1/4 of the total distance, taking 1 hour to do so. They take lunch for another 1 hour and then drove the remaining distance going at the same speed as before. What's the total amount of time, in hours, Roger and his friend took to travel between the two towns?
A:
When they covered 1 / 4 of the total distance, they were 1 / 4 * 200 = 50 miles away from the starting point. The total distance remaining is 200 - 50 = 150 miles. If they took 1 hour to travel 50 miles, their speed was 50 / 1 = 50 miles per hour. If Roger was driving at 50 miles per hour, then the total time it took him to travel 150 miles is 150 / 50 = 3 hours. The total amount of time taken for the whole journey is 3 + 1 + 1 = 5 hours. The answer is 5.
