Q: Sally and Bob have made plans to go on a trip at the end of the year. They both decide to work as babysitters and save half of what they've earned for their trip. If Sally makes $6 per day and Bob makes $4 per day, how much money will they both have saved for their trip after a year?
A: Saly saves 1 / 2 * $6 / day = $3 / day. Since each year have 365 days, the total amount of money Sally will save in a year is $3 / day * 365 days / year = $1095 / year. Bob saves 1 / 2 * $4 / day = $2 / day. The total amount of money Bob will have saved in a year is $2 / day * 365 days / year = $730 / year. In total, Sally and Bob would have saved $730 + $1095 = $1825. The answer is 1825.

[Question]Gail has some bills in her wallet which amount to $100. She has four $5 bills and three $20 bills, and the rest are $10 bills. How many $10 bills are in her wallet?
[Answer]Four $5 bills amount to $5 x 4 = $20. Three $20 bills amount to $20 x 3 = $60. So Gail's $5 and $20 bills amount to $20 + $60 = $80. Thus, her $10 bills amount to $100 - $80 = $20. Therefore, she has $20 / $10 = 2 $10 bills. The answer is 2.
