Question: Bella eats 6 apples a day. If during the week she consumes a third of the apples Grace picks, how many apples will Grace have after 6 weeks?
Answer: Bella eats during the week, 6 apples / day * 7 days / week = 42 apples / week. Grace harvests 42 apples / week * 3 = 126 apples during the week. Leftover after Bella eats, 126 apples / week - 42 apples / week = 84 apples / week. After 6 weeks Grace will have 84 apples / week * 6 weeks = 504 apples. The answer is 504.
[Question]Reginald is selling apples. He sells each apple for $1.25. He plans to use his profits to help repair his bike. His bike cost $80 and the repairs cost 25% of what his bike cost. After the repairs are paid for, 1/5 of the money he'd earned remains. How many apples did he sell?
[Answer]The bike repairs cost $20 because 80 x .25 = 20. Call the amount he earns e. We know that e - 20 = 1 / 5e. Therefore 5e - 100 = e. Therefore, 4e = 100. Therefore, e = 25. Therefore, he sold 20 apples because 25 / 1.25 = 20. The answer is 20.

Question: Janice gets paid $10 an hour for the first 40 hours she works each week, and $15 each hour of overtime after that. If Janice works 60 hours one week, how much money does she make?
Answer: Janice makes during her first 40 hours of work $10 / hour * 40 hours = $400. Janice works 60 hours - 40 hours = 20 hours during her overtime. Janice makes from working overtime $15 * 20 = $300. The total she makes a week is $400 + $300 = $700. The answer is 700.
Q: Anna, Alison, and Jeff collect stamps. Anna had 37 stamps in her collection, Alison had 28 stamps in her collection, and Jeff had 31 stamps in his collection. Alison gave Anna half of her collection in exchange for a novel, and then Anna traded Jeff two bluebird stamps for one mountain stamp. How many stamps did Anna have in the end?
A:
Alison gave Anna 1 / 2 * 28 = 28 / 2 = 14 stamps. Adding Alison’s stamps to Anna’s collection means Anna has 14 + 37 = 51 stamps. Then Anna traded Jeff 2 stamps, so she had 51 - 2 = 49 stamps. Anna got 1 stamp back in the trade, so she had 49 + 1 = 50 stamps in the end. The answer is 50.
