Andy works in the pro shop at a tennis resort, where he earns $9 an hour. In addition to this, he gets paid $15 for each racquet he restrings, $10 for changing out the grommets on a racquet, and $1 for painting a stencil on the racquet strings. How much does he earn (before taxes) during an 8-hour shift if he strings 7 racquets, changes 2 sets of grommets, and paints 5 stencils?
Let's think: Andy works 8 hours, so he earns a wage of 8 hours * $9 per hour = $72 just for working there. During that time, he restrings 7 racquets, so he earns 7 racquets * $15 per racquet = $105 from stringing. He also changed the grommets in 2 of those racquets, so he earned 2 grommet jobs * $10 per grommet job = $20 from changing grommets. And he stenciled 5 racquets, so he earned 5 stencil jobs * $1 per stencil job = $5 for stenciling. In total, Andy earned $72 + $105 + $20 + 5 = $202 for the day.. The answer is: 202.

Mark is 5 feet 3 inches tall and Mike is 6 feet and 1 inch tall. How much taller is Mike than Mark in inches if 1 foot is equal to 12 inches?
Let's think: Mark is (5 * 12) + 3 = 63 inches tall. Mike is (6 * 12) + 1 = 73 inches tall. Hence, Mike is 73 - 63 = 10 inches taller.. The answer is: 10.

Jared likes to draw monsters. He drew a monster family portrait. The mom had 1 eye and the dad had 3. They had 3 kids, each with 4 eyes. How many eyes did the whole family have?
Let's think: The mom and dad monsters had 1 + 3 = 4 eyes. The 3 kids had 4 eyes each, so 3 x 4 = 12 eyes. Altogether, the monster family had 4 parent eyes + 12 child eyes = 16 eyes.. The answer is: 16.

In a city, the number of people living per cubic yard is 80. How many more people are in a city with 9000 cubic yards than a city with 6400 cubic yards?
Let's think:
The difference in cubic yards between the two cities is 9000 - 6400 = 2600 cubic yards. Since the number of people living in a city per cubic yard is 80, there are 80 * 2600 = 208000 more people living in a city with 9000 cubic yards than a city with 6400 cubic yards.. The answer is: 208000.
