Q: In Sam's first 100 matches he won 50% of matches. In his next 100 games, he won 60% of matches. How many total matches did he win?
A: He won 100 * .5 = 50 matches in his first 100 games. In his next 100 games, he won 100 * .6 = 60 matches. So in total, he won 50 + 60 = 110 matches. The answer is 110.
Question: Tom broke his leg and needed to go to the doctor. The visit cost $300 and the cast cost $200. If insurance covered 60% how much was Tom's out-of-pocket cost?
Answer: The cost was 300 + 200 = $500. So insurance paid for 500 * .6 = $300. That means he had to pay 500 - 300 = $200 out of pocket. The answer is 200.

Q: If a circle has a radius of 14 feet, how many 6-inch pencils can be placed end-to-end across the diameter of the circle?
A: A circle with a radius of 14 feet has a diameter of 2 * 14 = 28 feet. A six - inch pencil is 6 / 12 = 0.5 feet long. Thus, across a 28 - foot diameter, one can place 28 / 0.5 = 56 6 - inch pencils. The answer is 56.
Question: Manny has a tree that grows at the rate of fifty centimeters every two weeks. If the tree is currently 2 meters tall, how tall, in centimeters, will the tree be in 4 months?
Answer: A month has four weeks, so there are 4 * 4 = 16 weeks in four months. Since the tree grows for five centimeters every two weeks, it will grow by fifty centimeters every week for 16 / 2 = 8 weeks. The tree will increase in height by 8 * 50 = 400 centimeters after four months. Since 1 meter equals 100 centimeters, the tree is currently 2 * 100 = 200 centimeters tall. After growing by 400 centimeters for four months, the tree will be 400 + 200 = 600 centimeters tall. The answer is 600.
