Q: A company has 1000 employees. There will be three rounds of layoffs. For each round of layoff, 10% of the remaining employees will be laid off. How many employees will be laid off in total?
A: The first round will result in 1000 * 10% = 100 employee layoffs. There are 1000 - 100 = 900 employees remaining. The second round will result in 900 * 10% = 90 employee layoffs. There are 900 - 90 = 810 employees remaining. The third round will result in 810 * 10% = 81 employee layoffs. The total number of of employees laid off is 100 + 90 + 81 = 271. The answer is 271.
Question: Cassy packs 12 jars of jam in 10 boxes while she packs 10 jars of jam in 30 boxes. If she has 500 jars of jams, how many jars of jam will she have left when all the boxes are full?
Answer: Cassy can pack 12 x 10 = 120 jars of jam in the 10 boxes. She can also pack 10 x 30 = 300 jars of jam in the 30 boxes. A total of 300 + 120 = 420 jars of jam can be packed in the boxes. So, 500 - 420 = 80 jars of jam will be left unpacked. The answer is 80.

Question: Peyton Manning throws a football 20 yards when the temperature is 50 degrees Fahrenheit, but the ball moves twice as far when the temperature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Last Saturday, the temperature was 50 degrees Fahrenheit, and he threw the ball twenty times. On Sunday, the temperature rose to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and he threw the ball 30 times. Calculate the total number of yards he threw the ball in the two days.
Answer: On Saturday, he threw the ball 20 times, and since the temperature was 50 degrees, he could throw only 20 yards, totaling 20 * 20 = 400 yards. On Sunday, the temperature favored him, and he threw the ball twice the distance he could throw on Saturday, which is 2 * 20 = 40 yards. If he threw the ball 30 times, he threw for 30 * 40 = 1200 yards. In the two days, he threw 1200 + 400 = 1600 yards. The answer is 1600.
