Michael loves to paint and sells his creations. He charges $100 for a large painting and $80 for a small painting. At his last art show, he sold 5 large paintings and 8 small paintings. How much did he earn in all? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. He earned 5 x $100 = $500 for the large painting. And he earned 8 x $80 = $640 for the small paintings. Therefore, he earned a total of $500 + $640 = $1140 in all.. The answer is: 1140.

A jet travels 580 miles in 2 hours. At this rate, how far could the jet fly in 10 hours? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. In one hour the jet could travel 580 miles / 2 hours = 290 miles. In 10 hours the jet could fly 290 miles * 10 = 2900 miles.. The answer is: 2900.

Jason's stove catches on fire. Buying a replacement will cost $1200 and fixing the damage to the wall behind it will cost 1/6th as much. How much does he spend in total? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. First find the cost of fixing the wall: $1200 * 1 / 6 = $200. Then add the cost of the replacement stove to find the total cost: $200 + $1200 = $1400.. The answer is: 1400.
