[Question]Irene earns $500 if she works for 40 hours a week and gets an extra $20 for every hour of overtime. If she worked 50 hours last week, calculate her total income.
[Answer]If Irene worked 50 hours last week, the total number of hours counting as overtime is 50 - 40 = 10 hours. Since she's given $20 for every hour of overtime, she earned 10 * $20 = $200 in overtime. Her total income, including the overtime, is $500 + $200 = $700. The answer is 700.
Q: James buys 3 dirt bikes for $150 each and 4 off-road vehicles for $300 each. It also cost him $25 to register each of these. How much did he pay for everything?
A: The dirtbikes cost 3 * 150 = $450. The off - road vehicles cost 300 * 4 = $1200. He had to register 3 + 4 = 7 vehicles. That means registration cost 25 * 7 = $175. So the total cost of everything was 450 + 1200 + 175 = $1825. The answer is 1825.
Question: Caleb has 3 dozen jellybeans. Sophie has half as many jellybeans as Caleb. How many jellybeans do they have in total?

[Question]Eddie is 92 years old. His granddaughter Becky is currently four times younger than he is. The mother of Becky - Irene, is two times her age. How old is Irene?

Q: We the People has 17 cows. Happy Good Healthy Family has two more than three times the number of cows We the People has. If their cows are taken to a ranch to graze together, how many cows will be in the ranch altogether?
A: Three times the number of cows We the People has is 3 * 17 = 51 cows. Happy Good Healthy Family has two more than three times the number of cows We the People has, a total of 51 + 2 = 53 cows. If the cows are taken to a ranch to graze together, their total will be 53 + 17 = 70 cows. The answer is 70.
Question: Wickham is throwing a huge Christmas party. He invites 30 people. Everyone attends the party, and half of the guests bring a plus one (one other person). He plans to serve a 3-course meal for the guests. If he uses a new plate for every course, how many plates does he need in total for his guests?
Answer:
The number of guests that bring a plus one is 30 / 2 = 15 guests. The total number of guests at the party, including the plus ones, is 30 + 15 = 45 guests. Since there are 3 courses, Wickham will need 45 * 3 = 135 plates. The answer is 135.
