Question: James listens to super-fast music. It is 200 beats per minute. He listens to 2 hours of music a day. How many beats does he hear per week?
Answer: He listens to 2 * 60 = 120 minutes of music a day. So he hears 200 * 120 = 24000 beats per day. That means he hears 24,000 * 7 = 168,000 beats per week. The answer is 168000.
[Question]Bill's take-home salary is $40,000. He pays $2,000 in property taxes, $3,000 in sales taxes, and 10% of his gross salary in income taxes. What is Bill's gross salary?
[Answer]First, figure out how much Bill has before he pays property taxes: $40,000 + $2,000 = $42,000. Then, figure out how much Bill has before he pays sales taxes: $42,000 + $3,000 = $45,000. Next, figure out what percent of his salary Bill keeps after income tax: 100% - 10% = 90%. Now we know that .9g = $45,000, where g is Bill's gross salary. Now we can divide both sides of the equation by .9 to find that g = $50,000. The answer is 50000.
Q: Brogan has two apple trees and goes to harvest them. The first tree is 40% red and 60% green. The second tree is 50% red and 50% green. If they each produce 20 apples, how many red apples does he get?
A: The first tree gives him 8 red apples because 20 x .4 = 8. The second tree gives him 10 red apples because 20 x .5 = 10. He gets 18 red apples because 10 + 8 = 18. The answer is 18.

[Question]In a forest, there are three anthills. In the first anthill, there are 100 ants, and in each next anthill, there are 20% fewer ants than in the previous one. How many ants are in the third anthill?
[Answer]In the second anthill, there are 20 / 100 * 100 = 20 ants less. This means there are 100 - 20 = 80 ants in the second anthill. In the third anthill, there are 20 / 100 * 80 = 16 ants less compared to the second one. So in the third anthill, there are 80 - 16 = 64 ants. The answer is 64.
[Question]Toby, the Alaskan Malamute, can pull a sled at a speed of 20 miles per hour if the sled is unloaded, but he pulls the same sled at a speed of 10 miles per hour if the sled is fully loaded. If Toby takes a continuous 4-part journey, first pulling the loaded sled for 180 miles, then pulling the unloaded sled for 120 miles, then pulling the loaded sled 80 miles, and finally, pulling the unloaded sled another 140 miles, how many hours in total will Toby spend pulling the sled?
[Answer]
Pulling a loaded sled at 10 mph for 180 miles takes 180 / 10 = 18 hours. Pulling an unloaded sled at 20 mph for 120 miles takes 120 / 20 = 6 hours. Pulling a loaded sled at 10 mph for 80 miles takes 80 / 10 = 8 hours. Pulling an unloaded sled at 20 mph for 140 miles takes 140 / 20 = 7 hours. In total, Toby will have pulled the sled for 18 + 6 + 8 + 7 = 39 hours. The answer is 39.
