Question: Mr. Resty has two identical 4-story buildings. The first floor has 2 apartment units while the rest of the floors have 5 apartment units on each floor. How many apartment units does Mr. Resty have in all?
Answer: In one building, there are 4 - 1 = 3 floors that have 5 apartment units each. Mr. Resty has a total of 3 floors x 5 units = 15 apartment units from the 2nd to 4th floor in one building. So, in one building, there are a total of 15 + 2 = 17 apartment units. Therefore, Mr. Resty has a total of 17 x 2 = 34 apartment units in his 2 buildings. The answer is 34.

[Question]Alfred is storing a tonne of maize each month for the next 2 years. If 5 tonnes are stolen and 8 tonnes are given to him as a donation, how many tonnes of maize does he have at the end of the 2 years.
[Answer]
Before his maize is stolen, the maize he stores at the end of 1 year is 12 * 1 = 12 tonnes of maize. Before his maize is stolen, the maize he stores at the end of 2 years is 12 * 2 = 24 tonnes of maize. After his maize is stolen, he is left with 24 - 5 = 19 tonnes of maize. After he receives the maize donation, he has 19 + 8 = 27 tonnes of maize. The answer is 27.
