Question: Pastor Paul prays 20 times per day, except on Sunday, when he prays twice as much. Pastor Bruce prays half as much as Pastor Paul, except on Sundays, when he prays twice as much as Pastor Paul. How many more times does Pastor Paul pray than Pastor Bruce prays in a week?
Answer: Pastor Paul prays 20 * 6 = 120 days per week, except Sunday. On Sunday, Pastor Paul prays 2 * 20 = 40 times. Per week, Pastor Paul prays 120 + 40 = 160 times. Pastor Bruce prays half as much as Pastor Paul does on all days except Sunday, for a total of 120 / 2 = 60 times. Pastor Bruce prays twice as much on Sundays as does Pastor Paul, or 40 * 2 = 80 times. In total, Pastor Bruce prays 60 + 80 = 140 times per week. Thus, per week, Pastor Paul prays 160 - 140 = 20 more times per week than Pastor Bruce. The answer is 20.
[Question]John buys 3 boxes of burritos. He gives away a 3rd of them to his friend. Each box has 20 burritos. He eats 3 burritos per day for 10 days. How many burritos does he have left?

Question: Mr. Llesis had 50 kilograms of rice. He kept 7/10 of it in storage and gave the rest to Mr. Everest. How many kilograms of rice did Mr. Llesis keep than Mr. Everest?
Answer: Mr. Llesis kept 50 x 7 / 10 = 35 kilograms of rice. So, he gave 50 - 35 = 15 kilograms of rice to Mr. Everest. Therefore, Mr. Llesis kept 35 - 15 = 20 kilograms more than Mr. Everest. The answer is 20.
[Question]Ishmael, Ponce, and Jalen measured their weight and realized Ishmael was 20 pounds heavier than Ponce and that Ponce was 10 pounds lighter than Jalen. If Jalen weighed 160 pounds, calculate the average weight of the three?
[Answer]Since Ponce weighs 10 pounds lighter than Jalen, he weighs 160 - 10 = 150 pounds. The sum of Jalen and Ponce's weight is 150 + 160 = 310 pounds. Ishmael is 20 pounds heavier than Ponce, meaning he weighs 150 + 20 = 170 pounds. The total weight of the three is 310 + 170 = 480 pounds. The average weight of the three is the total weight divided by their number, which totals 480 / 3 = 160 pounds. The answer is 160.
[Question]Polly and Peter play chess. Polly takes an average of 28 seconds per move, while Peter takes an average of 40 seconds per move. The match ends after 30 moves. How many minutes did the match last?
[Answer]
Both Polly and Peter played 30 / 2 = 15 moves each one. With an average of 28 seconds per move, Polly's moves lasted a total of 15 * 28 = 420 seconds. With an average of 40 seconds per move, Peter's moves lasted a total of 15 * 40 = 600 seconds. In total, the match lasted 420 + 600 = 1020 seconds. In minutes, the match lasted 1020 / 60 = 17 minutes. The answer is 17.
