Question and rationale: The question is: Wade has a hot dog food truck. He makes $2.00 in tips per customer. On Friday he served 28 customers. He served three times that amount of customers on Saturday. On Sunday, he served 36 customers. How many dollars did he make in tips between the 3 days?
Step-by-step reasoning process: On Saturday, he served 3 times the amount of customers that he served on Friday, which was 28 customers so he served 3 * 28 = 84 customers. He served 28 customers on Friday, 84 on Saturday and 36 customers on Sunday for a total of 28 + 84 + 36 = 148 customers. Each customer tipped him $2.00 and he had 148 customers so he made 2 * 148 = $296.00.

Question and rationale: The question is: Rob and Mark plan to meet at the national park. It takes 1 hour for Rob to get to the national park and it takes three times as much time for Mark to get to the national park. If Rob leaves his home at 11 a.m., at what time should Mark leave his home so that they both arrive at the same time?
Step-by-step reasoning process: It takes 1 hour * 3 = 3 hours for Mark to get to the national park. The extra time it takes Mark to get to the national park is 3 hours - 1 hour = 2 hours. Mark should leave his home at 11 a.m. - 2 hours = 9 a.m.
