Question: Bob has a cube of silver that measures 3 inches on each side. A cubic inch of silver weighs 6 ounces. Each ounce of silver sells for $25. He sells it for 110% of its silver value. How much does he sell it for?
Answer: The silver has a volume of 3 * 3 * 3 = 27 cubic inches. So it weighs 27 * 6 = 162 ounces. So its value is 162 * 25 = $4050. That means he sold it for 4050 * 1.1 = $4455. The answer is 4455.
[Question]The tank of John's car is full: it contains 47 liters of gasoline. After a journey of 275 km, there are 14 liters left. What is the fuel consumption of this car per 100 km?
[Answer]The car consumed 47 liters - 14 liters = 33 liters of gasoline for 275 km. Let x be the fuel consumption per 100 km. We can write the proportion: 33 / 275 = x / 100. The cross product gives: 275 x = 33 * 100. So the car consumes x = 3300 / 275 = 12 liters per 100 km. The answer is 12.

[Answer]Ryan caught 60 / 2 = 30 fish. Jason caught 30 / 3 = 10 fish. So, all of them caught a total of 10 + 30 + 60 = 100 fish. The answer is 100.
[Question]Crystal wanted to sell everything left in her pastry class before closing for the night. She reduced her $3.00 cupcakes and her $2.00 cookies by half. How much money did she make if she sold the last 16 cupcakes and 8 cookies?
[Answer]
She reduced the price of the $3.00 cupcakes by half so they are now 3 / 2 = $1.50. She reduced the price of the $2.00 cookies by half so they are now 2 / 2 = $1.00. She sold 16 cupcakes at $1.50 each so she made = 16 * 1.50 = $24.00. She sold 8 cookies at $1.00 each so she made 8 * 1 = $8.00. She made $24.00 from the cupcakes and $8.00 from the cookies for a total of 24 + 8 = $32.00. The answer is 32.
