Q: Oula and Tona work for a delivery service company, supplying different parts of their state with milk products. They are paid $100 for each delivery made in a day. In a particular month, Oula made 96 deliveries while Tona made 3/4 times as many deliveries as Oula. Calculate their difference in pay that month.
A: Oula's earnings for that month are 96 * $100 = $9600. Tona made 3 / 4 * 96 = 72 deliveries that month. Tona's total earnings for that month are 72 * $100 = $7200. Their difference in pay is $9600 - $7200 = $2400. The answer is 2400.
Question: On a shopping trip in a crowded store, Josie had to wait 3 minutes for a cart, 13 minutes for an employee to unlock a cabinet to get her a product, 14 minutes for a stocker to restock a shelf with what she wanted, and 18 minutes in line to check out. Her shopping trip took an hour and a half. How many minutes did Josie spend shopping instead of waiting?
Answer: There are 60 minutes in an hour, so the trip took 1 1 / 2 * 60 = 90 minutes. Josie spent 3 + 13 + 14 + 18 = 48 minutes waiting. Thus, she spent 90 - 48 = 42 minutes shopping. The answer is 42.
[Question]Jillian had 80 oranges which she had bought to give to her friends. She divided each orange into ten equal pieces for each friend to get four pieces. How many friends were there?
[Answer]If she divided each orange into 10 pieces, she got 80 * 10 = 800 pieces of orange. Since each friend received 4 pieces, there were 800 / 4 = 200 friends. The answer is 200.
Q: At Clark's Food Store, apples cost 40 dollars for a dozen, and pears cost 50 dollars for a dozen. If Hank bought 14 dozen of each kind of fruit, how many dollars did he spend?

Question: Liam is teaching art to a group of 10 students. He has 20 art kits that he hands out to the students to share, 1 art kit for 2 students. From those art kits half the students make 3 artworks each and half the students make 4 artworks each. How many artistic works does the whole class create?
Answer: There are 10 students in Liam's art class and 1 / 2 of them make a different amount of artworks than the other half, 1 / 2 x 10 = 5 students. 5 students make 3 artworks each, 5 x 3 = 15 artworks. The other 5 students make 4 artworks each, 5 x 4 = 20 artworks. Combined, the students in the class make 15 + 20 = 35 artworks. The answer is 35.
Q: Joseph had socks of many different colors. His dresser drawer was filled to overflowing with red, blue, black, and white socks. Uncertain of how many pairs he had of each color, he began to sort his socks. He discovered that he had three more pairs of blue socks than he had pairs of black socks. He had one less pair of red socks than he had pairs of white socks. He had twice as many blue socks as he had of red socks. And he counted a total of 6 red socks. What is the total number of Joseph's socks?
A:
Starting with 6 red socks, twice the number of blue socks as red meant Joseph had 2 * 6 = 12 blue socks. With one less pair of red socks than white socks, this meant 2 fewer red socks than white, for a total of 6 - 2 = 4 white socks. Also, 12 blue socks = 6 pairs of blue socks. With three more pairs of blue socks than pairs of black socks, this means he had 6 - 3 = 3 pairs of black socks. And three pairs of black socks corresponds to 3 * 2 = 6 black socks. Thus, in total, he had 6 + 12 + 4 + 6 = 28 socks. The answer is 28.
