[Question]Mitch is a freelancer, she works 5 hours every day from Monday to Friday and 3 hours every Saturday and Sunday. If she earns $3 per hour and earns double on weekends, how much does she earn every week?
[Answer]Mitch earns 5 x $3 = $15 every weekday. So, she earns $15 x 5 = $75 from Monday to Friday. And she earns $3 x 2 = $6 per hour every weekend. Hence, the total amount she earns every weekend is $6 x 3 = $18. So, she earns $18 x 2 = $36 every Saturday and Sunday. Therefore, the total amount she earns every week is $75 + $36 = $111. The answer is 111.
Q: During the hot dog eating contest, the 1st competitor ate 12 hot dogs in 3 minutes. The 2nd competitor ate twice that amount and the 3rd competitor ate 25% less than the 2nd competitor. How many hotdogs did the 3rd competitor eat?
A: The 2nd competitor ate twice the amount of the 1st competitor's 12 hot dogs So he ate 2 * 12 = 24 hot dogs. The 3rd competitor ate 25% less than the 2nd's 24 hot dogs, which is 24 / 4 = 6 hot dogs. If the 2nd competitor ate 24 hot dogs, and the 3rd ate 25% less than that, then the 3rd competitor ate 24 - 6 = 18 hot dogs. The answer is 18.
