Q: Miles and Daphne are comparing their reading collection and want to figure out who has more pages. They are about to count each page, but their parents suggest that they see whose collection is taller. Mile's collection is taller, but then Daphne notices that Miles reads board books, and so the pages are thicker. After some more measuring, they figure out that for Miles, 1 inch equals 5 pages, but for Daphne 1 inch equals 50 pages. If Miles's books are 240 inches tall and Daphne's collection is 25 inches tall, how many pages are in the longest collection?
A: Miles's collection has 1,200 pages because 240 x 5 = 1,200. Daphne's collection has 1,250 pages because 25 x 50 = 1,250. The largest collection has 1,250 pages because 1,250 > 1,200. The answer is 1250.

Q: Roger bought a house for $100,000. He was able to pay 20% down, and his parents paid off an additional 30% of the remaining balance. How much money does Roger still owe on his house?
A: 100000(.20) = 20000$ down payment. 100000 - 20000 = $80000 remaining. 80000(.30) = 24000. 80000 - 24000 = 56000$. The answer is 56000.

Q: New York recorded 5000 new coronavirus cases on a particular week. In the second week, half as many new coronaviruses cases as the first week was recorded by the state. In the third week, 2000 more cases were recorded in the state. What is the total number of recorded new coronaviruses in the state after the three weeks?
A:
If there were 5000 new cases on the first week, the total for the second week is 1 / 2 * 5000 cases = 2500 cases. The total number of new coronavirus cases in the three weeks is 2500 cases + 5000 cases + 2000 cases = 9500 cases. The answer is 9500.
