Q: Mike has earned a total of $160 in wages this week. He received the wages for his first job, then later received the wages from his second job where he works 12 hours a week. If his second job pays $9 per hour then how much money, in dollars, did Mike receive from his first job?
A: 52
Step-by-step reasoning process: From his second job, Mike receives $9 / hour * 12 hours = $108. He therefore earned $160 – $108 = $52 from his first job.


Q: Ivory and Brayan are doing school projects with a tight deadline and have to stay up late to complete everything. They prepare coffee to help them stay focused. If Brayan drinks twice as much coffee as Ivory, and Brayan drinks 4 cups of coffee in an hour, calculate the total number of cups of coffee they drink together in 5 hours.
A: 30
Step-by-step reasoning process: If Brayan drinks 4 cups of coffee in an hour, twice what Ivory drinks, then Ivory drinks 4 / 2 = 2 cups of coffee in an hour. Together, they drink 4 + 2 = 6 cups of coffee in an hour. After 5 hours, they will drink 5 * 6 = 30 cups of coffee together.


Q: Three years ago, Rosie purchased an art piece for $4000. The same art piece will be three times as much in another three years. How much money will the art piece have increased by?
A: 8000
Step-by-step reasoning process: If the art piece was bought at $4000, and its price in three years will be three times its buying price, it will be worth 3 * $4000 = $12000 in another three years. The price of the art piece will increase by $12000 - $4000 = $8000.
