Q: John joins a country club with 3 other members of his family. The fee to join is $4000 per person. There is also a monthly cost of $1000 per person. John pays half the cost. How much does John pay for the first year?
A: There are 3 + 1 = 4 members joining. So the cost is 4 * 4000 = $16,000 to join. The monthly fee comes out to 1000 * 12 = $12,000 per person per year. So that is 12000 * 4 = $48,000. So the total cost is 16,000 + 48,000 = $64,000. So John pays 64000 / 2 = $32,000. The answer is 32000.

[Question]A patient is receiving treatment through a saline drip which makes 20 drops per minute. If the treatment lasts 2 hours, and every 100 drops equal 5 ml of liquid, how many milliliters of treatment will the patient receive after the 2 hours have passed?
[Answer]The total of minutes the treatment will take is 2 hours x 60 minutes / hour = 120 minutes. After 120 minutes has passed the total amount of drops that the patient will receive is 20 drops / minute x 120 minutes = 2400 drops. Knowing the number of drops, we know that the patient has taken 2400 drops x 5 ml / 100 drops = 120 ml. The answer is 120.
Q: The last time Bob cut his hair he cut it to 6 inches. His hair is now 36 inches long. If hair grows at a rate of .5 inches per month how many years did it take him to grow out his hair?
A: His hair grew 36 inches - 6 inches = 30 inches. Hair grows at a rate of 12 months / year * 0.5 inches / month = 6 inches / year. It took him 30 inches / 6 inches / year = 5 years to grow his hair out. The answer is 5.
Question: Keanu bought some fish from the store for his pets. He gave his cat half as many fish as he gave to his dog. If he gave his dog 40 fish, and each fish cost him $4, calculate the total amount of money he spent at the store to buy all the fish.
Answer: The cat received half as many fish as the number given to the dog, which means the cat received 1 / 2 * 40 = 20 fish. This means Keanu bought 20 + 40 = 60 fish at the store. If each fish cost him $4, the total cost for the fish he bought at the store is 60 * $4 = $240. The answer is 240.
Q: Jeff decides to install more cabinets in his kitchen. He currently has 3 cabinets over one counter and no other cabinets. He installs twice as many cabinets over 3 different counters each. He then installs 5 more cabinets. How many total cabinets does he have?
