Q: A quantity surveyor is figuring the construction costs for a couple that wishes to build a house. The costs are as follows: land costs $50 per square meter, bricks cost $100 per 1000 bricks and roof tiles cost $10 per roof tile. If the house they wish to build requires 2000 square meters, 10000 bricks, and 500 roof tiles, how much construction costs are required for this project?
A: The cost required for buying land is $50 / sq m * 2000 sq m = $100000. The cost required for buying bricks is $100 / 1000 bricks * 10000 bricks = $1000. The cost required for buying roof tiles is $10 / tile * 500 tiles = $5000. The total construction cost is $100000 + $1000 + $5000 = $106000. The answer is 106000.
Question: Since it is Maurice's turn to host this year’s neighborhood cookout, he goes to the local wholesale club to buy ground beef. The wholesale club sells ground beef in 5-pound packages. Maurice wants to make one 2-pound burger for each person that attends, so he purchases 4 packages of ground beef. How many people can Maurice invite to the cookout so that everybody, including himself, gets a burger?
Answer: Maurice buys 4 * 5 = 20 pounds of ground beef. If 2 pounds of ground beef make a burger, then he can make 20 / 2 = 10 burgers. Given that Maurice will have 1 burger, he can invite 10 - 1 = 9 people. The answer is 9.

Question: Adam had a farm with animals. He had 12 cows and twice as many sheep. He decided to buy 3 pigs for every sheep he had. How many animals were on the farm after the transaction?
Answer:
Adam had twice as many sheep as the cows, so 2 sheep / cow * 12 cows = 24 sheep. For every sheep, he bought 3 pigs, so he bought 3 pigs / sheep * 24 sheep = 72 pigs. In total on the farm, there were 72 pigs + 24 sheep + 12 cows = 108 animals. The answer is 108.
