Q: Three years ago, Rosie purchased an art piece for $4000. The same art piece will be three times as much in another three years. How much money will the art piece have increased by?
A: If the art piece was bought at $4000, and its price in three years will be three times its buying price, it will be worth 3 * $4000 = $12000 in another three years. The price of the art piece will increase by $12000 - $4000 = $8000. The answer is 8000.

[Question]Jenson and Kingsley have a tailoring business. Jenson makes 3 shirts, and Kingsley makes 5 pairs of pants per day. If each shirt uses 2 yards of fabric and a pair of pants uses 5 yards of fabric, how many yards of fabric do they need every 3 days?
[Answer]Jenson uses 2 x 3 = 6 yards of fabric for making shirts every day. Kingsley uses 5 x 5 = 25 yards of fabric every day for making pair of pants. So, the total yards of fabric they use per day is 25 + 6 = 31. Therefore, the total yards of fabric they use every 3 days is 31 x 3 = 93. The answer is 93.
[Question]Tyson can swim at a speed of 3 miles per hour in a lake and 2.5 mph in an ocean. This season, half his races happened in lakes and half his races happened in the ocean. He had ten total races, each of which was 3 miles long. How much time did he spend in his races?
[Answer]
He did 5 races in the lake because 10 / 2 = 5. He did 5 races in the ocean because 10 / 2 = 5. He raced 15 miles in the lake because 5 x 3 = 15. His lake races took 6 hours because 15 / 2.5 = 6. He raced 15 miles in the ocean because 5 x 3 = 15. His ocean races took 5 hours because 15 / 3 = 5. He spent 11 hours racing because 5 + 6 = 11. The answer is 11.
