[Question]Donna can watch 8 episodes each day during weekdays. On each weekend day, she can watch three times the number of episodes she can watch on the weekdays. How many episodes can she watch in a week?
[Answer]Donna can finish a total of 8 x 5 = 40 episodes during the weekdays. Meanwhile, she can finish 8 x 3 = 24 episodes each day during the weekend. The total number of episodes she can watch every weekend is 24 x 2 = 48. Therefore, Donna can watch 40 + 48 = 88 episodes every week. The answer is 88.
Q: Jonah bought 6 pineapples for $3 each. Each pineapple could be cut into 12 pineapple rings. He sold 4 pineapple rings for $5 each. How much profit did Jonah make?
A: Jonah spent 6 x $3 = $18. He made a total of 6 x 12 = 72 pineapple rings. He sold 72 / 4 = 18 sets of pineapple rings. He made 18 x $5 = $90. His profit was $90 - $18 = $72. The answer is 72.
Question: James decides to buy a new bed and bed frame. The bed frame is $75 and the bed is 10 times that price. He gets a deal for 20% off. How much does he pay for everything?
Answer: The bed cost 75 * 10 = $750. So everything cost 750 + 75 = $825. He gets 825 * .2 = $165 off. So that means he pays 825 - 165 = $660. The answer is 660.
[Question]A sixty bulb watt uses 60 watts of power each day. If Allyn has 40 such bulbs in his house and pays an electricity bill of twenty cents per power watt used, calculate Allyn's total monthly expenses on electricity in June.
[Answer]If each bulb uses 60 watts each day, the 40 bulbs that Allyn has uses 60 * 40 = 2400 watts of power each day. In June, with 30 days, the bulbs will use 30 * 2400 = 72000 watts of power. If Allyn is charged an electricity bill of twenty cents per power watt used, in June she will pay 72000 * $0.20 = $14400. The answer is 14400.
Q: Two brick walls are being built. Each wall has 30 bricks in a single row and there are 50 rows in each wall. How many bricks will be used to make both walls?

Question: Three-quarters of the oil from a 4000-liter tank (that was initially full) was poured into a 20000-liter capacity tanker that already had 3000 liters of oil. How many more liters of oil would be needed to make the large tanker half-full?
Answer:
Three - quarters of oil from the initially full 4000 - liter tank would be 4000 * (3 / 4) = 3000 liters. In addition to the 3000 liters that were already in the large tanker, there are 3000 + 3000 = 6000 liters in it now. The tanker would be filled to half capacity by (1 / 2) * 20000 = 10000 liters of oil. There are 10000 - 6000 = 4000 liters left to reach half capacity. The answer is 4000.
