[Question]James's favorite basketball player got paid based on how many points he averaged each week. He gets $10,000 if he averages 30 or more points a game and $8,000 if he averages under 30 points a game. For his last week, in the first game he scored 30 points and in the second game he scored 28 points. In the third game he scored 32 points. In the fourth game he scored 34 points and in the fifth game he scored 26 points. How much does he get paid for the week?
[Answer]His favorite player scored 150 total points that week because 30 plus 28 plus 32 plus 34 plus 26 equals 150. He averaged 30 points a game because 150 divided by 5 equals 30. He gets paid $10,000 because that's how much he gets if he averages 30 or more points that week. The answer is 10000.

[Question]Mama bird has 6 babies in the nest. She needs to feed each baby 3 worms a day. Papa bird caught 9 worms. If she caught 13 worms and had 2 stolen, how many more does she need to catch to feed them for 3 days?
[Answer]Each day, mama bird needs to catch 6 x 3 = 18 worms. For 3 days, she needs 18 x 3 = 54 worms. She already has 13 - 2 = 11 worms. With papa bird’s catch, they have 11 + 9 = 20 worms. To feed the babies for 3 days, she needs to catch 54 - 20 = 34 more worms. The answer is 34.
Q: Joseph invested $1000 into a hedge fund. The fund promised a yearly interest rate of 10%. If he deposited an additional $100 every month into the account to add to his initial investment of $1000, how much money will he have in the fund after two years?
A: For the first year, Joseph will have invested $1000 + ($100 * 12) = $2200. The interest calculated for the first year will be $2200 * 10% = $220. The total value of the investment for the first year will be $2200 + $220 = $2420. For the second year, the total invested will be $2420 + ($100 * 12) = $3620. The interest calculated after the second year will be $3620 * 10% = $362. Therefore, Joseph's investment in the mutual fund will be worth $3620 + $362 = $3982. The answer is 3982.
Question: Last year Dallas was 3 times the age of his sister Darcy. Darcy is twice as old as Dexter who is 8 right now. How old is Dallas now?
