[Question]Jimmy's father receives 20 emails a day. Halfway through April, he subscribed to a news channel that sent 5 more emails per day to his email. What's the total number of emails Jimmy's father had at the end of the month?
[Answer]April has thirty days, so half will be 30 / 2 = 15. For the first 15 days, he received 20 * 15 = 300 emails. For the remaining 15 days, the number of emails increased to 20 + 5 = 25 emails. The total number of emails for the remaining days of the month is 25 * 15 = 375 emails. The total number of emails for April is 375 + 300 = 675 emails. The answer is 675.

Question: Hilary is shucking corn from ears that grew on her farm. She gets four ears of corn per stalk, and she has 108 stalks growing. Half the ears of corn have 500 kernels of corn and the other half have 100 more. How many kernels of corn does Hilary have to shuck?
Answer: She has 108 * 4 = 432 ears of corn to shuck. She gets 500 kernels of corn from half the ears and 500 + 100 = 600 kernels from the other half. Half the number of ears of corn is 432 / 2 = 216 ears. Thus, Hilary has 216 * 500 + 216 * 600 = 108000 + 129600 = 237600 kernels to shuck. The answer is 237600.
[Question]Maggie went to Lou's aquarium and saw 100 goldfish in the aquarium. She asked if she could take some home to care for, and she was allowed to catch half of them. While using a catching net, she caught 3/5 of the total number of goldfish she was allowed to take home. How many goldfish does Maggie remain with to catch to get the total number she was allowed to take home?
[Answer]Maggie was allowed to take half of the goldfish in the aquarium, a total of 1 / 2 * 100 = 50 goldfish. On her first catch, Maggie got 3 / 5 * 50 = 30 goldfish. To reach the number of goldfish she was allowed to take home, Maggie has to catch 50 - 30 = 20 more goldfish. The answer is 20.
