[Question]: Theodore can craft 10 stone statues and 20 wooden statues every month. A stone statue costs $20 and a wooden statue costs $5. He also pays 10 percent of his total earnings in taxes. How much is his total earning every month?
[Answer]: Theodore's total earnings from the stone statues are 10 x $20 = $200. His total earnings from wooden statues are 20 x $5 = $100. So his total earnings from the stone and wooden statue are $200 + $100 = $300. The amount he pays for the tax is $300 x 10 / 100 = $30. Therefore his total monthly earnings are $300 - $30 = $270.
So the answer is 270.

[Question]: Jason is climbing a telephone pole next to a tree his friend Matt is climbing. Matt can climb 6 feet/minute and Jason can climb 12 feet per minute. After 7 minutes, how much higher will Jason be than Matt?
[Answer]: First find the distance Matt climbs in 7 minutes: 6 feet / minute * 7 minutes = 42 feet. Then find the distance Jason climbs in 7 minutes: 12 feet / minute * 7 minutes = 84 feet. Then subtract the distance Matt climbs from the distance Jason climbs to find the difference: 84 feet - 42 feet = 42 feet.
So the answer is 42.

[Question]: A piece of wire 5 feet 4 inches long was divided into 4 equal parts. How long was each part in inches if 1 foot is equal to 12 inches?
[Answer]:
Five feet is equal to 5 feet x 12 inches / foot = 60 inches. So, the total length of the wire was 60 inches + 4 inches = 64 inches. Hence, each part is 64 inches / 4 parts = 16 inches / part.
So the answer is 16.
