[Question]Kylie makes 10 beaded necklaces on Monday and 2 beaded necklaces on Tuesday. Then Kylie makes 5 beaded bracelets and 7 beaded earrings on Wednesday. 20 beads are needed to make one beaded necklace. 10 beads are needed to make one beaded bracelet. 5 beads are needed to make one beaded earring. How many beads does Kylie use in total to make her jewelry?
[Answer]Kylie makes 10 + 2 = 12 beaded necklaces. The number of beads used for the necklaces is 12 * 20 = 240 beads. The number of beads used for the bracelets is 5 * 10 = 50 beads. The number of beads used for the earrings is 7 * 5 = 35 beads. The total number of beads used is 240 + 50 + 35 = 325 beads. The answer is 325.
Q: Mr. John jogs for 1 hour 30 minutes in the morning every day. How much time (in hours) will he have spent jogging after two weeks?
A: There are 60 minutes in an hour so 1 hour 30 minutes is equivalent to [1 + (30 / 60)] hours = 1.5 hours. There are 7 days in a week so he spends 1.5 * 7 = 10.5 hours jogging every week. After 2 weeks he will have spent 2 * 10.5 = 21 hours jogging. The answer is 21.
Question: James is a first-year student at a University in Chicago. He has a budget of $1000 per semester. He spends 30% of his money on food, 15% on accommodation, 25% on entertainment, and the rest on coursework materials. How much money does he spend on coursework materials?
Answer: Accommodation is 15% * $1000 = $150. Food is     30% * $1000 = $300. Entertainment is  25% * $1000 = $250. Coursework materials are thus $1000 - ($150 + $300 + $250) = $300. The answer is 300.

Q: Bush and Matt are brothers. Bush is younger than Matt by 3 years. This year Bush will be 12 years old. What will be Matt's age 10 years from now?
A: Bush is younger than Matt by 3 years, so if Bush is 12 years old then Matt is 12 + 3 = 15 years old. In 10 years' time, Matt will be 10 + 15 = 25 years old. The answer is 25.
Question: Kristy, a sales representative earns a basic salary of $7.50 per hour plus a 16% commission on everything she sells. This month, she worked for 160 hours and sold $25000 worth of items. Her monthly budget for food, clothing, rent, transportation, bills and savings is 95% of her total monthly earnings and the rest will be put towards insurance. How much did she allocate to insurance?
Answer:
Kristy earns a basic salary of $7.50 x 160 = $1200. Her total commission is $25000 x 16 / 100 = $4000. Thus, her total earning is $1200 + $4000 = $5200. Her monthly budget aside from the insurance is $5200 x 95 / 100 = $4940. Therefore, she allocated $5200 - $4940 = $260 on insurance. The answer is 260.
