Question: Dirk sells amulets at a Ren Faire. He sells for 2 days and each day he sells 25 amulets. Each amulet sells for 40 dollars and they cost him 30 dollars to make. If he has to give 10% of his revenue to the faire, how much profit did he make?
Answer: He sold 2 * 25 = 50 amulets. So he made 40 * 50 = $2000. The faire took 2000 * .1 = $200. So he kept 2000 - 200 = $1800. The amulets cost 50 * 30 = $1500 to make. So he had a profit of 1800 - 1500 = $300. The answer is 300.
[Question]John starts a TV show. He pays $1000 per episode for the first half of the season. The second half of the season had episodes that cost 120% more expensive. If there are 22 episodes how much did the entire season cost?
[Answer]The season is broken up into 22 / 2 = 11 episode based on cost. The first 11 episodes cost 11 * 1000 = $11,000. The next set of episodes cost 1000 * 1.2 = $1200 more per episode. So they cost 1000 + 1200 = $2200 each. So in total they cost 2200 * 11 = $24200. So in total the season cost 24200 + 11000 = $35,200. The answer is 35200.
Q: Hank is raising money for the local homeless shelter. Hank makes $100 in a carwash and donates 90% of the proceeds to the local homeless shelter. Hank makes $80 in a bake sale and donates 75% of the proceeds to the local homeless shelter. Then he makes $50 mowing lawns and donates 100% of the proceeds to the local homeless shelter. How much money does Hank donate in total?
A: From the carwash, Hank donates $100 * 0.90 = $90. From the bake sale, Hank donates $80 * 0.75 = $60. From mowing lawns, Hank donates $50 * 1.00 = $50. Hank donates a total of $90 + $60 + $50 = $200. The answer is 200.
Question: Milo can roll downhill on his skateboard at twice the speed that he can run. And Milo's best friend, Cory, can drive his wheelchair at twice the speed that Milo can roll downhill on his skateboard. If Cory always drives his wheelchair at 12 miles per hour, how many miles can Milo run in two hours?
Answer: Since Cory drives his wheelchair at 12 miles per hour, then Milo rolls downhill on his skateboard at 12 / 2 = 6 miles per hour. Therefore, Milo runs at 6 / 2 = 3 miles per hour. If Milo runs for 2 hours at 3 miles per hour, then Milo will travel 2 * 3 = 6 miles. The answer is 6.
[Question]Monika went out for the day and spent some money. She went to the mall and spent $250. Then, she went to the movies and watched 3 movies back to back that each cost $24.

[Answer]Monika spent 24 * 3 = 72 dollars at the movies. Monika spent 20 * 1.25 = 25 dollars at the farmers market. Throughout her day, Monika spent 250 + 72 + 25 = 347 dollars. The answer is 347.
