Q: Jordan has a new hit song on Spotify. 3 months are left in the year, and she currently has 60,000 listens. If the number of listens per month doubles, how many listens will the song have by the end of the year?
A: In the first month, the song will have 60,000 * 2 = 120,000 listens. In the second month, the song will have 120000 * 2 = 240,000 listens. In the third month, the song will have 240000 * 2 = 480,000 listens. By the end of the year Jordan's song will have a total of 60,000 + 120,000 + 240,000 + 480,000 = 900,000 listens. The answer is 900000.
Question: Javier is having an eating contest with his brother. It's ravioli night and there is meat ravioli, pumpkin ravioli, and cheese ravioli. The meat ravioli weighs 1.5 ounces each. The pumpkin ravioli is 1.25 ounces each. The cheese ravioli is one ounce. Javier eats 5 meat ravioli, 2 pumpkin ravioli, and 4 cheese ravioli. His brother just ate pumpkin ravioli and had 12 of them. What is the total amount of ounces eaten by the winner?
Answer: Javier ate 7.5 ounces of meat ravioli because 5 x 1.5 = 7.5. He ate 2.5 ounces of pumpkin ravioli because 2 x 1.25 = 2.5. He ate 4 ounces of cheese ravioli because 4 x 1 = 4. Javier ate 14 ounces in total because 7.5 + 2.5 + 4 = 14. His brother ate 15 ounces of pumpkin ravioli because 12 x 1.25 = 15. The winner ate 15 ounces in total because 15 > 14. The answer is 15.
[Question]Jamir and his two friends Sarah and Julien, go to their school's swimming pool to swim. Jamir swims 20 more meters per day than Sarah, who swims twice the distance Julien swims. They go to the swimming pool the whole week, swimming the same distances as before. If Julien swam 50 meters, what's the combined distance for three of them for the whole week?
[Answer]If Julien swam for the whole week, then the total distance in meters that he covered is 50 * 7 = 350 meters. Sarah swam twice the distance covered by Julien, which is 2 * 50 = 100 meters. Sarah's total for the whole week is 100 * 7 = 700 meters. If Jamir swam 20 meters more than Sarah, he covered 100 + 20 = 120 meters. Jamir's total for the whole week is 120 * 7 = 840 meters. The combined distance for all of them is 840 + 700 + 350 = 1890 meters. The answer is 1890.
Q: Michael ran a bakeshop and had to fill an order for 5 peach pies, 4 apple pies and 3 blueberry pies. Each pie recipe called for 3 pounds of fruit each. At the market, produce was on sale for $1.00 per pound for both blueberries and apples. The peaches each cost $2.00 per pound. How much will Michael spend at the market buying the fruit for his pie order?
A: Each pie needs 3 pounds of fruit so for 5 Peach pies, 3 * 5 = 15 pounds of fruit. 3 pounds of fruit for 4 apple pies is 3 * 4 = 12 pounds. 3 pounds of fruit for 3 blueberry pies is 3 * 3 = 9 pounds. He needs 12 pounds of apples and 9 pounds of blueberries so 12 + 9 = 21. 21 pounds of fruit at $1.00 per pound is 21 * 1 = $21.00. 15 pounds of peaches will cost $2.00 per pound so 15 * 2 = $30. The apple and blueberries will cost $21.00 and the peaches will cost $30 so 21 + 30 = $51. The answer is 51.
Question: The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 2% today. The Dow ended the day at 8,722. What was the Dow in the morning before the markets opened?

Q: Jame gets a raise to $20 per hour and works 40 hours a week. His old job was $16 an hour for 25 hours per week. How much more money does he make per year in his new job than the old job if he works 52 weeks a year?
A:
He makes 20 * 40 = $800 per week. He used to make 16 * 25 = $400 per week. So his raise was 800 - 400 = $400 per week. So he makes 400 * 52 = $20,800 per year more. The answer is 20800.
