Question: Johnny spent 3 hours working on a job that paid $7 per hour, 2 hours working on a job that paid $10 an hour, and 4 hours working on a job that paid $12 an hour. Assuming he repeats this process 5 days in a row, how much does Johnny make?
Answer: First, we need to determine how much Johnny makes in one day. To start, we perform 3 * 7 = 21 dollars for the first job. Second, we perform 2 * 10 = 20 dollars for the second job. Third, we perform 4 * 12 = 48 dollars for the third job. Altogether, Johnny makes 21 + 20 + 48 = 89 dollars in a day. We multiply this amount by the 5 days, performing 5 * 89 = 445 dollars over 5 days. The answer is 445.
[Question]Toby has two rectangles of cloth. The first is 4 inches wide and 5 inches tall. The second is 3 inches wide and 6 inches tall. How many more square inches is the area of the first compared to the second?
[Answer]The first has an area of 20 square inches because (4 x 5) = 20. The second has an area of 18 square inches because (3 x 6) = 18. The difference in area is 20 - 18 = 2 square inches. The answer is 2.
Q: Barbara wants to save up for a new wristwatch that costs $100. Her parents give her an allowance of $5 a week and she can either save it all up for the watch or spend it as she wishes. 10 weeks pass and due to spending some of her money on ice cream, Barbara currently only has $20. How many more weeks does she need to save for a watch if she stops spending on other things right now?
A: Since barbara needs $100, and she currently has $20, she is remaining with $100 - $20 = $80 to save. With an allowance of $5 each week, she'll need to save for 80 / 5 = 16 weeks. The answer is 16.
