Q: Johnny is a dog walker. He can walk 3 dogs at once. He gets paid $15 for a 30-minute walk and $20 for a 60-minute walk. Johnny works for 4 hours per day. If he always walks the maximum number of dogs possible and 6 dogs have 60-minute walks per day, how much money does he make in a week where he works 5 days?
A: Johnny spends 6 / 3 = 2 hours walking the 6 dogs who have 60 - minute walks. He makes $20 * 6 = $120 for these walks. Thus, he has 4 - 2 = 2 hours = 120 minutes left to walk the other dogs. He can walk 3 * (120 / 30) = 12 dogs in this time. Thus, he will make $15 * 12 = $180 on these walks. In total per day, he makes $120 + $180 = $300 per day. Thus, during the week, he makes $300 * 5 = $1500. The answer is 1500.

[Question]Jocelyn bought a car 3 years ago at $4000. If the car's value has reduced by 30%, calculate the current value of the car.
[Answer]If Jocelyn bought the car 3 years ago at $4000, the car's value has reduced by 30 / 100 * $4000 = $1200. The current value of the car is $4000 - $1200 = $2800. The answer is 2800.
Q: 20 birds migrate on a seasonal basis from one lake to another, searching for food. If they fly from lake Jim to lake Disney in one season, which is 50 miles apart, then the next season they fly from lake Disney to lake London, 60 miles apart, calculate the combined distance all of the birds have traveled in the two seasons.
A: The birds' flying distance between Lake Jim through lake Disney to lake London is 50 + 60 = 110 miles. Since each bird flies the 110 miles distance while migrating, the combined distance they fly together is 110 * 20 = 2200 miles. The answer is 2200.
Question: Martha is making centerpieces for her Thanksgiving dinner. There are six centerpieces, and each centerpiece uses 8 roses, twice as many orchids as roses, and a certain number of lilies. If Martha wants to spend $2700 total, and each flower costs $15, how many lilies will she put in each centerpiece?
Answer: First figure out how many total flowers Martha is going to buy by dividing her total spending by the price per flower: $2700 / $15 / flower = 180 flowers. Now figure out how many flowers are in each centerpiece by dividing the total number of flowers by the number of centerpieces: 180 flowers / 6 centerpieces = 30 flowers / centerpiece. Now figure out how many orchids are in each centerpiece by multiplying the number of roses per centerpiece by 2: 8 roses / centerpiece * 2 = 16 orchids / centerpiece. Now subtract the number of roses and orchids per centerpiece from the total number of flowers per centerpiece to find the number of lilies per centerpiece: 30 flowers - 16 orchids - 8 roses = 6 lilies. The answer is 6.
Q: Francie saves up her allowance for several weeks. She receives an allowance of $5 a week for 8 weeks. Then her dad raises her allowance, and she receives $6 a week for 6 weeks. Francie uses half of the money to buy new clothes. With the remaining money, she buys a video game that costs $35. How much money does Francie have remaining after buying the video game?
A:
When her allowance is $5 a week, Francie gets a total of $5 * 8 = $40. When her allowance is $6 a week, Francie gets a total of $6 * 6 = $36. The total amount of money Francie gets is $40 + $36 = $76. After purchasing new clothes, she has $76 / 2 = $38 remaining. After buying the video game, Francie has $38 - $35 = $3 remaining. The answer is 3.
