Q: Jane runs a small farm. She has 10 chickens that lay 6 eggs each per week. She can sell the eggs for $2/dozen. How much money will she make in 2 weeks if she sells all her eggs?
A: Jane's chickens lay 10 chickens * 6 eggs = 60 eggs per week. Jane's chickens lay 60 eggs / 12 = 5 dozen eggs per week. Each week that Jane sells her eggs she can make 5 dozen * $2 = $10 per week. In two weeks Jane would make 2 * $10 / week = $20. The answer is 20.
Question: Janice needs to go to watch a movie in 2 hours. before she could leave, she needs to finish her homework which takes 30 minutes; clean her room which takes half as long as her homework; walk the dog which takes 5 minutes more than making homework; take out the trash which takes 1/6 of the time it takes her to do the homework. How many more minutes do Janice have left before the movie starts?
Answer: Janice takes 30 / 2 = 15 minutes to clean her room. It takes 30 + 5 = 35 minutes for her to walk the dog. It takes her 30 x 1 / 6 = 5 minutes to take out the trash. So, it will take 30 + 15 + 35 + 5 = 85 minutes to do all those chores. Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, then 2 hours is 2 x 60 = 120 minutes. Thus, Janice still has 120 - 85 = 35 minutes left before the movie starts. The answer is 35.
[Question]Michael has two brothers. His oldest brother is 1 year older than twice Michael's age when Michael was a year younger. His younger brother is 5 years old, which is a third of the age of the older brother. What is their combined age?
[Answer]The oldest brother is 15 because 3 x 5 = 15. Michael is 8 because if 1 + (Michael's age - 1) x 2 = 15 then Michael's age = 8. Their combined age is 28 because 5 + 15 + 8 = 28. The answer is 28.
Q: Mr. Resty has two identical 4-story buildings. The first floor has 2 apartment units while the rest of the floors have 5 apartment units on each floor. How many apartment units does Mr. Resty have in all?
A: In one building, there are 4 - 1 = 3 floors that have 5 apartment units each. Mr. Resty has a total of 3 floors x 5 units = 15 apartment units from the 2nd to 4th floor in one building. So, in one building, there are a total of 15 + 2 = 17 apartment units. Therefore, Mr. Resty has a total of 17 x 2 = 34 apartment units in his 2 buildings. The answer is 34.

Q: John decides to trade in his stereo system. His old system cost 250 dollars and he got 80% of the value for it. He then buys a system that costs $600 that he gets a 25% discount on. How much money came out of his pocket?
A:
He got 250 * .8 = $200. He gets a 600 * .25 = $150 discount on the second system. So it cost 600 - 150 = $450. So he was 450 - 200 = $250 out of pocket. The answer is 250.
