Question: Suzie and 5 of her friends decide to rent an Airbnb at Lake Tahoe for 4 days from Thursday to Sunday. The rental rate for weekdays is $420 per day. The weekend rental rate is $540 per day. They all decide to split the rental evenly. How much does each person have to pay?
Answer: The cost of the rental for Thursday and Friday comes to $420 * 2 = $840. The cost of the rental for Saturday and Sunday comes to $540 * 2 = $1080. The total cost of the rental comes to $840 + 1080 = $1920. The payment required for each person comes to $1920 / 6 = $320. The answer is 320.

Question: Frank picked 36 apples. Susan picked 3 times as many apples as Frank. If Susan gave out half of her apples, and Frank sold a third of his, how many in total do they have left?
Answer:
Susan picked 3 times as much as 36 which is 3 * 36 = 108 apples. She gave out half which is 108 * (1 / 2) = 54 apples. She now has 108 - 54 = 54 apples. Frank sold a third of 36 which is 36 * (1 / 3) = 12 apples. Frank now has 36 - 12 = 24 apples. Altogether they now have 54 + 24 = 78 apples. The answer is 78.
