[Question]Kylie picks apples for 3 hours. The first hour she picks 66 apples. The second hour she doubles her apple picking rate, and the third hour she picks a third of the apples picked in the first hour. How many apples did Kylie pick total?
[Answer]First hour = 66 apples. Second hour = 66(2) = 132 apples. Third hour = 66(1 / 3) = 22 apples. Total number of apples picked 66 + 132 + 22 = 220 apples. The answer is 220.
Q: Daniel owns a textile company. Every Monday he delivers 20 yards of fabric, and every Tuesday he delivers twice the amount of fabric he delivers on Monday. Every Wednesday, he delivers 1/4 of the amount of fabric he delivers on Tuesday. If each yard of fabric costs $2 and each yard of yarn costs $3, how much does he earn from Monday to Wednesday?
A: Every Tuesday, Daniel delivers 20 x 2 = 40 yards of fabric. Every Wednesday, he delivers 40 x 1 / 4 = 10 yards of fabric. Thus, he delivers a total of 20 + 40 + 10 = 70 yards of fabric from Monday to Wednesday. Therefore, Daniel earns $2 x 70 = $140 from it. The answer is 140.
