Question: Brendan makes $6/hour as a waiter. He's scheduled for 2 8-hour shifts and 1 12-hour shift this week. He also makes an average of $12 in tips each hour. Brendan is supposed to pay 20% of his income in taxes, but he only reports 1/3rd of his tips to the IRS. How much money does Brendan pay in taxes each week?
Answer: First find the total number of hours Brendan works for the 8 - hour shifts: 2 shifts * 8 hours / shift = 16 hours. Then find the total number of hours Brendan works by adding those hours to the 12 - hour shift: 16 hours + 12 hours = 28 hours. Now find Brendan's total wage earnings by multiplying his $6 / hour wage by the number of hours he works: $6 / hour * 28 hours = $168 / week. Now figure out how much Brendan makes in tips by multiplying the number of hours he works by the amount of tips he makes per hour: $12 / hour * 28 hours / week = $336 / week. Now divide that number by 3, since Brendan only reports a third of his tips: $336 / week / 3 = $112 / week. Now add Brendan's wage earnings to that number to find how much income he reports to the IRS each week: $168 / week + $112 / week = $280 / week. Finally, multiply Brendan's reported income by his tax rate to find how much he pays in taxes each week: $280 / week * .2 = $56 / week. The answer is 56.
[Question]Vicente saw Sophie's mom giving Sophie 20 oranges every day to carry to school to eat. He also saw Hannah's dad giving Hannah 40 grapes every day to eat at the school. If he counted the number of fruits that the girls were given for 30 days, calculate the total number of fruits that Sophie and Hannah had eaten in the 30 days.
[Answer]If Sophie was given 20 oranges every day for thirty days, she had taken 20 * 30 = 600 oranges to school. Similarly, in the thirty days, Hannah had taken 40 * 30 = 1200 grapes to school. In the thirty days, Hannah and Sophie took 1200 + 600 = 1800 fruits to school. The answer is 1800.

Question: Mr. Rocky went to the market to sell his handmade crafts on a particular week. He was selling jewelry at $30 each and paintings at $100 each. However, he realized the income from the sales wasn't worth the labor and materials he had used, so he decided to increase the price of jewelry by $10 each and the cost of each painting by 20%. Calculate the total price a buyer who takes two pieces of jewelry and five paintings would pay
Answer: After increasing the price of a piece of jewelry, the price increased from $30 to $30 + $10 = $40 each. He also increased the price of each painting by 20 / 100 * 100 = $20. The total price for buying one painting at the new price is $100 + $20 = $120. If a buyer purchases two pieces of jewelry, the total cost becomes 2 * $40 = $80. When the buyer also buys 5 paintings, he pays a total of $120 * 5 = $600. 2 pieces of jewelry and 5 paintings cost $600 + $80 = $680 at the new prices. The answer is 680.
