A factory produced televisions at a constant rate of 10 per day in a certain year. If they reduced the total production by 10 percent in the second year, calculate the total production of television by the factory in the second year. Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. Since a year has 365 days, the total television production in the first year is 10 * 365 = 3650. In the second year, they reduced the total television production by 10 / 100 * 3650 = 365. The total television production in the second year was 3650 - 365 = 3285.. The answer is: 3285.

The total number of dogs at an animal rescue center is 200. Mr. Tanner, the manager at the rescue center, gets a call that 100 dogs at another rescue center are to be moved because of weather problems. He agrees to bring the dogs to his rescue center, and after one week, gives out 40 animals for adoption. After a month, 60 more dogs were adopted by dog lovers. What's the total number of remaining animals in the adoption center after the last adoptions? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. After taking in 100 more dogs, the number of dogs in the rescue center increased to 200 + 100 = 300. After a week, the number of dogs was reduced to 300 - 40 = 260 after the adoptions. So, there are 260 - 60 = 200 dogs left after 60 more dogs were adopted.. The answer is: 200.

John has to get a new blanket. He decides to have a 7 foot by 8-foot quilt made. The quilt costs $40 per square foot. How much does his quilt cost? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. The quilt is 7 * 8 = 56 square feet. So it cost 40 * 56 = 2240.. The answer is: 2240.
