Question: Peyton Manning throws a football 20 yards when the temperature is 50 degrees Fahrenheit, but the ball moves twice as far when the temperature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Last Saturday, the temperature was 50 degrees Fahrenheit, and he threw the ball twenty times. On Sunday, the temperature rose to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and he threw the ball 30 times. Calculate the total number of yards he threw the ball in the two days.
Answer: On Saturday, he threw the ball 20 times, and since the temperature was 50 degrees, he could throw only 20 yards, totaling 20 * 20 = 400 yards. On Sunday, the temperature favored him, and he threw the ball twice the distance he could throw on Saturday, which is 2 * 20 = 40 yards. If he threw the ball 30 times, he threw for 30 * 40 = 1200 yards. In the two days, he threw 1200 + 400 = 1600 yards. The answer is 1600.

Q: Susie babysits every day for 3 hours a day at the rate of $10 per hour. She spent 3/10 of the money she earned from last week to buy a make-up set. She then spent 2/5 of her money on her skincare products. How much is left from her earnings last week, in dollars?
A: Susie earned $10 x 3 = $30 per day. Last week, she earned a total of $30 x 7 = $210. She spent $210 x 3 / 10 = $63 on make - up. While she spent $210 x 2 / 5 = $84 on her skincare products. Thus, she spent a total of $63 + $84 = $147 from her earnings. Therefore, Susie is left with $210 - $147 = $63 from her earnings last week. The answer is 63.
Question: Every hour Joanne has to collect the coins out of the fountain inside the mall. During the first hour, she collected 15 coins. For the next two hours, she collected 35 coins from the fountain. In the fourth hour, she collected 50 coins from the fountain but she gave 15 of them to her coworker so she could buy a soda. How many coins did she have after the fourth hour?
Answer: 15 coins collected in hour one. 35 coins collected in hour two. 35 coins collected in hour three. 50 coins collected in hour four. Before giving her coworker some coins there were 15 + 35 + 35 + 50 = 135 coins. The number of coins after given 15 to her coworker is 135 - 15 = 120. The answer is 120.
