[Question]Paul lives in a 5th story apartment. He makes 3 trips out from and back to his apartment throughout the day each day of a week. How many feet does he travel vertically in total over the week if each story is 10 feet tall?
[Answer]Since Paul makes 3 trips per day, and each trip involves going both down and up, this means he travels the full vertical distance of his apartment complex 3 * 2 = 6 times a day. Since there are 7 days in a week, this means he makes this trip 6 * 7 = 42 times a week. Since each story is 10 feet tall, that means with 5 stories he travels 5 * 10 = 50 feet each trip. Since he made 42 trips of 50 feet each, this means he traveled 50 * 42 = 2100 feet in a week. The answer is 2100.
Q: An aqua park charges $12 admission and $6 for a tour. A group of 10 people goes to the aquarium and takes the tour; while a group of 5 people only goes to the aquarium. How much does the aqua park earn?
A: A group of 10 people is charged $12 + $6 = $18 each. So, 10 people pay $18 x 10 = $180. A group of 5 people pays $12 x 5 = $60 for the admission. Thus, the aqua park earns a total of $180 + $60 = $240. The answer is 240.

Answer: From his second job, Mike receives $9 / hour * 12 hours = $108. He therefore earned $160 – $108 = $52 from his first job. The answer is 52.

Q: Tedra is harvesting his tomatoes. He harvests 400 kg on Wednesday, and half as much on Thursday. He harvests a total of 2000 kg on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. How many tomatoes of the number he harvested on Friday are remaining if he gives away 700kg of them to his friends?
A: Tedra harvests 1 / 2 * 400 kg = 200 kg of tomatoes on Thursday. Tedra harvests 2000 kg - 400 kg - 200 kg = 1400 kg of tomatoes on Friday. After giving away tomatoes to his friends, he is left with 1400 kg - 700 kg = 700 kg of tomatoes. The answer is 700.
Question: Lisa has 36 candies. On Mondays and Wednesdays, she eats 2 candies for each day and on the other days of the week she eats 1 candy for each day. How many weeks does it take for Lisa to eat all of the candies?
