Q: Michael loves to paint and sells his creations. He charges $100 for a large painting and $80 for a small painting. At his last art show, he sold 5 large paintings and 8 small paintings. How much did he earn in all?
A: He earned 5 x $100 = $500 for the large painting. And he earned 8 x $80 = $640 for the small paintings. Therefore, he earned a total of $500 + $640 = $1140 in all. The answer is 1140.
Question: Joel is picking peppers from his garden. He picks 7 on Sunday, 12 on Monday, 14 on Tuesday, 12 on Wednesday, 5 on Thursday, 18 on Friday and 12 on Saturday. He knows that in his garden 20% of the peppers are hot and the rest are not. How many non-hot peppers did he pick?
Answer: He picked 80 peppers because 7 + 12 + 14 + 12 + 5 + 18 + 12 = 80. 80% of the peppers are not hot because 100 - 20 = 80. He picked 64 non - hot peppers because 80 x .8 = 64. The answer is 64.

Q: Two-thirds of all the animals on my street are cats and the rest are dogs. If there are 300 animals on the street, what's the total number of legs of dogs that are on the street?
A: The number of cats on the street is 2 / 3 * 300 = 200. If there are 300 animals on the street, and 200 are cats, there are 300 - 200 = 100 dogs. Since a dog has four legs, the total number of legs the 100 dogs have is 100 * 4 = 400 legs. The answer is 400.
Question: Arven bought five puppies for a total cost of $800. Three puppies are on sale for $150 each. How much does each of those two other puppies cost if they cost the same?
Answer: Three puppies on sale cost $150 x 3 = $450. The other two puppies cost $800 - $450 = $350. So, each of those two other puppies cost $350 / 2 = $175. The answer is 175.
Q: Rosie runs 6 miles per hour. She runs for 1 hour on Monday, 30 minutes on Tuesday, 1 hour on Wednesday, and 20 minutes on Thursday. If she wants to run 20 miles for the week, how many minutes should she run on Friday?
A:
On Monday and Wednesday, Rosie runs 6 * 1 = 6 miles. On Tuesday, Rosie runs 6 * (30 minutes / 60 minutes) = 3 miles. On Thursday, Rosie runs 6 * (20 minutes / 60 minutes) = 2 miles. So far this week Rosie has run 6 + 3 + 6 + 2 = 17 miles. To reach her goal, she must run 20 - 17 = 3 miles on Friday. Thus, she should run for 6 / 3 = .5 hour which is 30 minutes. The answer is 30.
