Question: In a grocery store, the daily salary of the manager is $5 and the clerk is $2. If there are currently 2 managers and 3 clerks employed in the grocery store, how much is the total daily salary of all the employees of the grocery store?
Answer: The 2 managers earn $5 x 2 = $10 per day. The daily salary of 3 clerks is $2 x 3 = $6. Therefore the total salary of all employees of the grocery store is $10 + $6 = $16. The answer is 16.

Q: Lucca has 100 balls and 10 percent of his balls are basketballs. Lucien has 200 balls and 20 percent of them are basketballs. In total how many basketballs do Lucca and Lucien have?
A: Lucca has 100 basketballs x (10 / 100) = 10 basketballs. Lucien has 200 basketballs x (20 / 100) = 40 basketballs. Together they have 10 basketballs + 40 basketballs = 50 basketballs. The answer is 50.
Question: Three builders build a single floor of a house in 30 days. If each builder is paid $100 for a single day’s work, how much would it cost to hire 6 builders to build 5 houses with 6 floors each?
Answer: 6 builders can build a single floor 6 builders / 3 builders = 2 times as fast as 3 builders. Thus 6 builders would build a single floor in 30 days / 2 = 15 days. There are 5 hours x 6 floors / house = 30 floors in total in 5 houses with 6 floors each. Therefore 6 builders would complete the project in 15 days / floor x 30 floors = 450 days. It would cost 450 days x $100 / day / builder * 6 builders = $270000 to complete the project. The answer is 270000.
[Question]A group of 5 children are taken to an amusement park. Only 3 of them were daring enough to get on the Ferris wheel which cost $5 per child. Everyone had a go at the merry-go-round (at $3 per child). On their way home, they bought 2 cones of ice cream each (each cone cost $8). How much did they spend altogether?
[Answer]3 children rode the Ferris wheel at $5 reach for a total of 3 * $5 = $15. 5 children rode the merry - go - round at $3 each for a total of 5 * $3 = $15. 5 children bought 2 cones of ice cream each at $8 per cone for a total of 5 * 2 * $8 = $80. In total, they spent $15 + $15 + $80 = $110. The answer is 110.
[Question]Brittany, Alex, and Jamy all share 600 marbles divided between them in the ratio 3:5:7. If Brittany gives Alex half of her marbles, what's the total number of marbles that Alex has?
[Answer]
The total ratio representing the number of marbles is 3 + 5 + 7 = 15. From the ratio, the fraction representing the number of marbles that Brittany has is 3 / 15, which is equal to 3 / 15 * 600 = 120 marbles. Alex has 5 / 15 * 600 = 200 marbles. If Brittany gives half of her marbles to Alex, Alex receives 1 / 2 * 120 = 60 marbles. After receiving 60 marbles from Brittany, Alex has 200 + 60 = 260 marbles. The answer is 260.
