[Question]Amanda charges $20.00 per hour to help clean out and organize a person's home. She has 5 1.5 hours appointments on Monday, a 3-hours appointment on Tuesday and 2 2-hours appointments on Thursday. On Saturday, she will spend 6 hours at one client's house.

[Answer]She has 5 1.5 hour appointments on Monday for a total of 5 * 1.5 = 7.5 hours. She has 2 2 hour appointments on Thursday for a total of 2 * 2 = 4 hours. She is working 7.5 hours on Monday, 3 hours on Tuesday, 4 hours on Thursday and 6 hours on Saturday for a total of 7.5 + 3 + 4 + 6 = 20.5 hours.

Q: An apartment building has 12 floors and half of them are full. The remaining floors are all at half-capacity. If each floor has 10 apartments and each apartment has four people, how many people are in the building?
A: Half the floors are full, so there are 12 floors * 0.5 = 6 floors that are full. So the full floors contain 6 floors * 10 apartments = 60 apartments. The remaining floors are at half - capacity, so there are 12 floors – 6 full floors = 6 half - full floors. Each of these floors therefore contains 10 apartments * 0.5 = 5 apartments. So on the half - full floors, there are a total of 6 floors * 5 apartments = 30 apartments. In total, there are 30 + 60 = 90 filled apartments in the building. This means there are 90 apartments * 4 people per apartment = 360 people in the building. The answer is 360.
Question: It costs Molly $5 per package to send Christmas gifts to her relatives by mail. She has two parents and three brothers, and each of her brothers is married with 2 children each. If she sends one package to each relative by mail, how much does it cost her to send all of the gifts by mail to her relatives, in dollars?
Answer: Molly has two parents and three brothers, which totals 2 + 3 = 5 parents and siblings. Since each brother is married with 2 children, then each brother has a family containing 1 + 2 = 3 people. Thus, the families of the three brothers contain an additional 3 * 3 = 9 relatives. In total, Molly has 5 + 9 = 14 relatives. At $5 per package, Molly will spend 14 * $5 = $70 to mail the packages. The answer is 70.
