Q: As a freelancer, Baylor is paid for every finished work of a client he does on a freelance marketplace. Currently, he has $4000 on his dashboard from previous work done. He is currently working for three clients, with the first client paying him half the amount of money he currently has on his dashboard once the job is done. The second client will pay him 2/5 times more money than the first client once Baylor finishes his work. The third client will pay him twice the amount of money the first and second clients pay him together once he finishes the job. How much money will Baylor have in his dashboard after all the clients pay him for his work?
A: The first client will pay Baylor 1 / 2 * $4000 = $2000. The second client will pay Baylor 2 / 5 times more money than the first client, a total of 2 / 5 * $2000 = $800. The total amount of money the second client will pay Baylor once the job is done is $2000 + $800 = $2800. The total amount of money the first and the second client will pay Baylor after their work is finished is $2800 + $2000 = $4800. The third client will pay him twice the amount of money the first and second clients pay him together, a total of 2 * $4800 = $9600. Together, the three clients will pay Baylor $9600 + $4800 = $14400 once he finishes their jobs. In his dashboard, Baylor will have $14400 + $4000 = $18400. The answer is 18400.

[Question]Adam’s wardrobe is too crowded so he decides to donate some of his clothes to a charity shop. He takes out 4 pairs of pants, 4 jumpers, 4 pajama sets (top and bottom), and 20 t-shirts, then asks his friends if they have anything they want to donate. 3 of his friends donate the same amount of clothing as Adam each. Then he takes another look over his clothing and decides that he actually wants to keep half of his clothes. How many articles of clothing are being donated in total?
[Answer]
As pajama sets are made up of a top and a bottom, there are 4 pajama sets * 2 = 8 articles of clothing from Adam's donation. In total, Adam is donating 4 pairs of pants + 4 jumpers + 8 pajama pieces + 20 t - shirts = 36 articles of clothing. Together, the 3 friends donate a total of 36 articles of clothing per friend * 3 friends = 108 articles of clothing. Adam changes his mind and takes back half, which means he is now actually donating 36 / 2 = 18 articles of clothing. There is therefore now a total of 108 + 18 = 126 articles of clothing being donated. The answer is 126.
