Question: Denver uses 7 pieces of wood for each birdhouse and he pays $1.50 for each piece of wood. If he makes a $5.50 profit per birdhouse, how much will Denver charge to Danny for buying two birdhouses?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: The cost for making one birdhouse is $1.50 x 7 = $10.50. So the selling price of one birdhouse is $10.50 + $5.50 = $16. Thus, Denver will charge Danny $16 x 2 = $32 for the two birdhouses.
So the answer is 32.

Question: At school today, Charlize was 20 minutes late. Four of her classmates were each ten minutes late than she was. What's the total time for which the five students were late?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: If Charlize was 20 minutes late, each of her friends was 20 + 10 = 30 minutes late. The total time for which Charlize's friends were late was 4 * 30 = 120 minutes. Together with Charlize, the three friends were 120 + 20 = 140 minutes late.
So the answer is 140.
