Question: James has to refuel his plane. It used to cost $200 to refill the tank. He got an extra tank to double fuel capacity. Fuel prices also went up by 20%. How much does he pay now for fuel?
Answer: The cost to fill a tank went up 200 * .2 = $40. So it cost 200 + 40 = $240 to fill the tank. That means he now pays 240 * 2 = $480. The answer is 480.
[Question]A class has 500 tables and 2/5 times as many books as the number of tables in the class are on top of each table. What's the total number of books in the class?
[Answer]If there are 2 / 5 times as many books as the number of tables in the class on top of each table, there are 2 / 5 * 500 = 200 books. Since the class has 500 tables with 200 books on top of each, there are 500 * 200 = 100000 books. The answer is 100000.
Q: Christina and her friend are driving across the state. When Christina is driving the speed limit is 30 miles per hour. When her friend is driving, the speed limit is 40 miles per hour. The drive is 210 miles total. If her friend drives for 3 hours and both drive at the speed limit, how many minutes will Christina drive?
A: The friend drives 40 * 3 = 120 miles. Thus, Christina drives 210 - 120 = 90 miles. Since the speed limit is 30 miles per hour when Christina is driving, she drives for 90 / 30 = 3 hours. Thus, she drives for 3 * 60 = 180 minutes. The answer is 180.

[Question]20 birds migrate on a seasonal basis from one lake to another, searching for food. If they fly from lake Jim to lake Disney in one season, which is 50 miles apart, then the next season they fly from lake Disney to lake London, 60 miles apart, calculate the combined distance all of the birds have traveled in the two seasons.
[Answer]The birds' flying distance between Lake Jim through lake Disney to lake London is 50 + 60 = 110 miles. Since each bird flies the 110 miles distance while migrating, the combined distance they fly together is 110 * 20 = 2200 miles. The answer is 2200.
[Question]Joe plays a soccer tournament with his team. Matches won score 3 points for the winning team and tied matches score 1 point for both teams. Joe and his team won 1 game and drew 3. The first-place team has won 2 games and tied 2. By how many points did the first-place team beat Joe's team?
[Answer]
For 1 match won, Joe's team scored 1 * 3 = 3 points. For 3 tied games, Joe's team scored 3 * 1 = 3 points. In total, Joe's team scored 3 + 3 = 6 points. For 2 games won, the first - place team scored 2 * 3 = 6 points. For 2 tied games, the first - place team scored 2 * 1 = 2 points. In total, the first - place team scored 6 + 2 = 8 points. The first - place team outscored Joe's team by 8 - 6 = 2 points. The answer is 2.
