[Question]Lori owns a carsharing company. There are three red cars and two white cars available to rent. Renting the white car costs $2 for every minute and the red car $3 for every minute. All cars were rented for 3 hours. How much money did Lori earn?
[Answer]Both white cars were rented for 2 * 2 = $4 for every minute. All three red cars were rented for 3 * 3 = $9 for every minute. So all Lori's cars were rented for 4 + 9 = $13 for every minute. Three hours are 180 minutes, so Lori earned 13 * 180 = $2340 for renting all the cars. The answer is 2340.
Q: An NGO contracted a construction company to build 2000 houses within one year. In the first half of the year, they built the first 3/5 units of the contracted number. Due to unavoidable circumstances, the company could only build an additional 300 units by October. How many units remain from the contracted number that the company is supposed to build?
A: In the first half of the year, the company constructed 3 / 5 * 2000 = 1200 units. The number of units remaining to be built after the company built 1200 units in the first half of the year is 2000 - 1200 = 800. By October, the company built an additional 300 units, thus remaining with 800 - 300 = 500 units to be built. The answer is 500.
Question: Avery puts 4 shirts in the donation box. He adds twice as many pants as shirts in the box. He throws in half as many shorts as pants in the box. In total, how many pieces of clothes is Avery donating?
Answer: The total number of shirts in the donation box is 4. The total number of pants in the donation box is 4 x 2 = 8. The total number of shorts in the donation box is 8 / 2 = 4. The total number of clothes donated is 4 + 8 + 4 = 16 pieces. The answer is 16.
