Question: To finish the task assigned to her by the work supervisor in the stipulated deadline, Anie needs 5 hours extra aside from the normal work schedule each day. If each day her work schedule requires her to be productive for 10 hours, and the project is estimated to take 1500 hours, calculate the number of days it would take Anie to finish the job.
Answer: Every day, in addition to her 10 - hour work schedule, Anie needs 5 extra hours, which means she works 10 + 5 = 15 hours each day. If the project is estimated to take 1500 hours, Anie will need to work for 1500 / 15 = 100 days to complete the project. The answer is 100.

Question: On Black Friday a popular electronics store sells 327 televisions. This is 50 more than they sold last Black Friday. If this sales trend continues and they sell 50 more televisions each year for three years, how many televisions will they sell on Black Friday three years from now?
Answer: The electronics store sold 327 televisions this Black Friday and might sell 50 more televisions the next year, for a total of 327 + 50 = 377 televisions. The second year they might sell 377 + 50 = 427 televisions. The third year, if they continue to sell 50 more televisions than they did the previous year, they will sell 427 + 50 televisions = 477 televisions on the Black Friday three years from now. The answer is 477.
