Question: Sally picks 30 seashells on Monday. On Tuesday, she picks half as many seashells as she did on Monday. If she can sell each seashell for $1.20, how much money can she make if she sells all of her seashells?
Answer: On Tuesday, Sally picks 30 / 2 = 15 seashells. In total, Sally picks 30 + 15 = 45 seashells. The total amount of money Sally can make is 45 * $1.20 = $54. The answer is 54.
[Question]One hundred chips were divided by Ian and Lyle in the ratio 4:6. What percentage of the chips did Lyle have?
[Answer]The chips were divided into 4 + 6 = 10 parts. Each part has 100 / 10 = 10 chips. Since Lyle owns 6 parts, then he has 6 x 10 = 60 chips. This is 60 / 100 x 100 = 60% of the entire chips. The answer is 60.
Q: Heaven and her younger brother want to buy school supplies, so they ask their father for money, who gives them $100 in total to use. Heaven buys two sharpeners and four notebooks at $5 each, and her brother uses the remaining amount to buy ten erasers at $4 each and some highlighters. How much money did Heaven's brother spend on highlighters?
A: Heaven spent 2 * 5 = $10 on sharpeners. She also spent 4 * 5 = $20 on notebooks. Heaven's brother used 10 * 4 = $40 to buy erasers. The total amount of money Heaven and her sister spent on sharpeners, notebooks, and erasers is 40 + 20 + 10 = $70. The total amount of money her brother spent on highlighters is 100 - 70 = $30. The answer is 30.

Q: Michael is stuck in an elevator that is slowly moving to the bottom floor. The elevator needs to move down 20 floors to reach the bottom. It takes 15 minutes for the elevator to travel down the first half of the floors. The elevator then takes 5 minutes per floor to travel down the next 5 floors. It then takes 16 minutes per floor for the elevator to finish traveling down the final 5 floors. In hours, how long did it take for the elevator to reach the bottom?
A:
Over 5 of the floors, it takes the elevator 5 floors * 5 minutes per floor = 25 minutes to lower. Over the final 5 floors, it takes the elevator 5 floors * 16 minutes per floor = 80 minutes to lower. So in total, the elevator takes 15 minutes in the first half + 25 minutes in the next five floors + 80 minutes in the final five floors = 120 minutes to lower to the bottom. This is the same as 120 minutes / 60 minutes per hour = 2 hours. The answer is 2.
