[Question]John repairs 5 cars. 3 of the cars take 40 minutes each to repair. The remaining ones take 50% longer each to repair. He makes $20 per hour repairing cars. How much money does he make?
[Answer]The 3 cars take 3 * 40 = 120 minutes to make. He repairs 5 - 3 = 2 more cars. They each take 40 * .5 = 20 minutes longer per car. So they each take 40 + 20 = 60 minutes. So he repaired cars for 120 + 2 * 60 = 240 minutes. That is 240 / 60 = 4 hours. So he made 4 * 20 = $80. The answer is 80.
Q: A new factory opens up and hires 20 people to make t-shirts. Each person makes on average 20 shirts per day during their 8-hour shift. The employees each get paid $12 an hour plus $5 per shirt they make. The company sells shirts for $35 each.  Nonemployee expenses come out to $1000 a day. How much does the company make in profits per day?
A: Each employee gets paid 20 * 5 = $100 for the shirts they make. They also get paid 12 * 8 = $96 for hours worked. So they get a total of 100 + 96 = $196 per day. That means employee cost is 20 * 196 = $3920. The factory makes 20 * 20 = 400 shirts. So they make 400 * 35 = $14,000 from selling shirts. So they made a profit of 14,000 - 3,920 - 1,000 = $9,080. The answer is 9080.
Question: Louise is baking cakes for a gathering. She needs 60 cakes in total, and has already produced half this many. Today, she calculates how many cakes she has left to make and bakes half this amount. The next day, she again calculates how many cakes she has left to make and bakes a third of this amount. How many more cakes does Louise need to bake?
Answer: Louise has already produced 60 cakes / 2 = 30 cakes. After calculating how many cakes are left, she bakes another 30 cakes / 2 = 15 cakes. The next day, she calculates again then bakes another 15 cakes / 3 = 5 cakes. She therefore still needs to bake 60 – 30 – 15 – 5 = 10 cakes. The answer is 10.

Q: Princeton had a gender reveal party and invited all of his fellow employees to celebrate with him. If the total number of guests were 60, and 2/3 were male guests, how many female guests attended the party?
A: The number of males in the party was 2 males / 3 guests * 60 guests = 40 males. If the total number of people at the party was 60, then there were 60 guests - 40 males = 20 females. The answer is 20.
Question: John sublets his apartment to 3 people who each pay $400 per month. He rents the apartment for $900 a month. How much profit does he make in a year?
Answer:
He gets 3 * $400 = $1200 per month. So he gets 1200 * 12 = $14,400 per year. So he pays 12 * 900 = $10800 a year. That means his profit is 14400 - 10800 = $3600 per year. The answer is 3600.
