[Question]At a shop in Japan, women's T-shirts are sold every 30 minutes for $18, and men's T-shirts are sold every 40 minutes for $15. This shop is open from 10 am until 10 pm. How much does the shop earn selling T-shirts per week?
[Answer]First, the shop is open 12 hours * 60 minutes = 720 minutes per day. So, 720 / 30 = 24 women's T - shirts sold per day. The shop earns 24 * $18 = $432 selling women's T - shirts per day. Similarly, 720 / 40 = 18 men's T - shirts are sold per day. The shop earns 18 * $15 = $270 selling men's T - shirts per day. The shop earns $432 + $270 = $702 per day selling T - shirts. The shop earns $702 * 7 = $4914 per week. The answer is 4914.

Q: Janet has a business selling custom collars for dogs and cats. If it takes 18 inches of nylon to make a dog collar and 10 inches to make a cat collar, how much nylon does she need to make 9 dog collars and 3 cat collars?
A: First find the total number of inches of nylon used for the dog collars: 18 inches / dog collar * 9 dog collars = 162 inches. Then find the total number of inches of nylon used for the cat collars: 10 inches / cat collar * 3 cat collars = 30 inches. Then add the nylon needed for the cat and dog collars to find the total amount needed: 162 inches + 30 inches = 192 inches. The answer is 192.
Question: Jason's dog has a tail that's half the length of its body, and a head that's 1/6 the length of its body. If the dog is 30 inches long overall, how long is its tail?
Answer:
If b is the length of the body, h is the length of the head, and t is the length of the tail, we know that b + h + t = 30, h = b / 6 and t = b / 2. We can substitute the second two equations into the first equation to get b + b / 6 + b / 2 = 30. Now multiply both sides of this equation by 6: 6b + b + 3b = 180. Now combine like terms: 10b = 180. Now divide both sides by 10: b = 180. The dog's body is 18 inches long. Now divide that length by 2 to find the length of its tail: 18 inches / 2 = 9 inches. The answer is 9.
