Question: An Italian restaurant earns $600 every weekday and twice as much on the weekend. How much money does it earn by the end of the month?
Answer: On weekdays it earns $600 / weekday * 5 weekdays = $3000. During the weekend it earns twice as much each day so it makes ($600 * 2) / weekend day * 2 weekend days = $2400. Every week it earns $3000 + $2400 = $5400. By the end of the month, it earns $5400 / week * 4 weeks = $21600. The answer is 21600.
[Question]James goes out to eat. He orders a steak and egg meal for $16. He is with his friend, who orders chicken fried steak for $14. His friend pays for half the bill and James pays the tip along with his half of the bill. They tip 20%. How much did James pay?
[Answer]The meals cost 16 + 14 = $30. So each paid 30 / 2 = $15. James left a tip of 30 * .2 = $6. So James paid 15 + 6 = $21. The answer is 21.
Q: James watched 2 episodes of Jeopardy and 2 episodes of Wheel of Fortune. Jeopardy is 20 minutes and Wheel of Fortune is twice as long. How many hours did he watch TV?
A: He watched 2 * 20 = 40 minutes of Jeopardy. Wheel of Fortune is 2 * 20 = 40 minutes each. So he watched it for 40 * 2 = 80 minutes. So he watched 40 + 80 = 120 minutes of TV. That means he watched 120 / 60 = 2 hours of TV. The answer is 2.
Question: With 40 seconds left to play in the basketball game, the Dunkinville Hornets were leading the Fredingo Fireflies by a score of 86 to 74. In the remaining seconds in the game, the Fireflies scored 7 three-point baskets while holding the Hornets to only 2 two-point baskets to win the game. How many more points did the Fireflies score in the game than did the Hornets?
Answer: In the final 40 seconds, the Fireflies scored seven 3 - point baskets to improve their score by 3 * 7 = 21 points. Thus, the Fireflies final total was 74 + 21 = 95 points. In the final 40 seconds, the hornets scored an additional two 2 - point baskets to improve their score by 2 * 2 = 4 points. Thus, the Hornets final total was 86 + 4 = 90 points. The final difference in points between the two teams was 95 - 90 = 5 points. The answer is 5.
[Question]Zack has traveled to twice the number of countries Patrick traveled to. Patrick traveled to three times the number of countries Joseph traveled to. Joseph traveled to half the number of countries George traveled to. If George traveled to 6 countries, how many countries did Zack travel to?

[Question]It’s exam season and Tristan has several exams to prepare for. On Monday, he studies for 4 hours then studies for twice this long on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday he studies for 3 hours each day. He wants to study for a total of 25 hours over the week and divides the remaining amount of study time evenly between Saturday and Sunday. How many hours does Tristan spend studying on Saturday?
[Answer]
On Tuesday, Tristan studies twice as long as he did on Monday and this amounts to 4 hours * 2 = 8 hours. So in the first 5 days of the week, he studies for a total of 4 hours Monday + 8 hours Tuesday + 3 hours Wednesday + 3 hours Thursday + 3 hours Friday = 21 hours. He therefore has 25 planned hours – 21 used hours = 4 hours left to study. As he splits his time evenly over 2 days, he spends 4 hours / 2 = 2 hours studying on Saturday. The answer is 2.
