We have a question: Jerry is cutting up wood for his wood-burning stove. Each pine tree makes 80 logs, each maple tree makes 60 logs, and each walnut tree makes 100 logs. If Jerry cuts up 8 pine trees, 3 maple trees, and 4 walnut trees, how many logs does he get?
And an answer: 1220
So how you got the answer?
First find the total number of pine logs by multiplying the number of trees by the number of logs per tree: 80 logs / pine * 8 pines = 640 logs. Then do the same thing for the maple trees: 60 logs / maple * 3 maples = 180 logs. And do the same thing for the walnut trees: 100 logs / walnut * 4 walnuts = 400 logs. Finally, add up the number of logs from each type of tree to find the total number: 640 logs + 180 logs + 400 logs = 1220 logs.

We have a question: Parker and Richie split a sum of money in the ratio 2:3. If Parker got $50 (which is the smaller share), how much did they share?
And an answer: 125
So how you got the answer?
If Parker got $50 with a ratio of 2, then the unit share is $50 / 2 = $25. Using the sharing ratio, Richie gets 3 unit shares which total to 3 * $25 = $75. The money they shared was $50 + $75 = $125.

We have a question: Jack is on the phone with a scammer who says the IRS will arrest Jack if he doesn't send them the codes from 6 $500 Best Buy gift cards and 9 $200 Walmart gift cards. After sending the codes for 1 Best Buy gift card and 2 Walmart gift cards, Jack wises up and hangs up. How many dollars' worth of gift cards can he still return?
And an answer: 3900
So how you got the answer?
First find the number of Best Buy gift cards Jack needs to return: 6 cards - 1 cards = 5 cards. Then multiply that number by the cost per card to find the total refund Jack gets from Best Buy: 5 cards * $500 / card = $2500. Then find the number of Walmart gift cards Jack needs to return: 9 cards - 2 cards = 7 cards. Then multiply that number by the cost per card to find the total refund Jack gets from Walmart: 7 cards * $200 / card = $1400. Then add the two refunds to find his total refund amount: $2500 + $1400 = $3900.
