[Question]The price of buying a wooden toy at the new Craftee And Best store is $20, and the cost of buying a hat is $10. If Kendra went to the shop with a $100 bill and bought two wooden toys and three hats, calculate the change she received.
[Answer]When Kendra bought 2 toys, she paid 2 * $20 = $40. Since the price of a hat is $10, when Kendra bought 3 hats, she paid 3 * $10 = $30. The total costs for the hats and wooden toys Kendra bought is $40 + $30 = $70. From the $100 bill, Kendra received change worth $100 - $70 = $30. The answer is 30.

Q: Mr Fletcher hired 2 men to dig a well in his compound. They worked for 10 hours on the first day, 8 hours on the second day and finished the job on the third day after working 15 hours. If Mr Fletcher paid each of them $10 per hour of work, calculate the total amount of money they received altogether?
A: The total number of hours each worker works in the first 2 days is 10 + 8 = 18 hours. Since they completed the job in three days, each was compensated for 18 + 15 = 33 hours of work. Mr Fletcher paid each of the workers $10 per hour of work, meaning for 33 hours, each of the workers received 33 * $10 = $330. Since they were two workers, the total amount they received all together after each was paid $330 is $330 * 2 = $660. The answer is 660.
Question: A bear is preparing to hibernate for the winter and needs to gain 1000 pounds. At the end of summer, the bear feasts on berries and small woodland animals. During autumn, it devours acorns and salmon. It gained a fifth of the weight it needed from berries during summer, and during autumn, it gained twice that amount from acorns. Salmon made up half of the remaining weight it had needed to gain. How many pounds did it gain eating small animals?
Answer:
The bear gained 1 / 5 * 1000 = 200 pounds from berries. It gained 2 * 200 = 400 pounds from acorns. It still needed 1000 - 200 - 400 = 400 pounds. Thus, it gained 400 / 2 = 200 pounds from salmon. Therefore, the bear gained 400 - 200 = 200 pounds from small animals. The answer is 200.
