Question: An eagle can fly 15 miles per hour; a falcon can fly 46 miles per hour; a pelican can fly 33 miles per hour; a hummingbird can fly 30 miles per hour. If the eagle, the falcon, the pelican, and the hummingbird flew for 2 hours straight, how many miles in total did the birds fly?
Answer: An eagle can fly 15 x 2 = 30 miles for 2 hours. A falcon can fly 46 x 2 = 92 miles for 2 hours. A pelican can fly 33 x 2 = 66 miles for 2 hours. A hummingbird can fly 30 x 2 = 60 miles for 2 hours. Therefore, the birds flew a total of 30 + 92 + 66 + 60 = 248 miles for 2 hours. The answer is 248.

Question: Jan buys 5 dozen roses. Each rose cost $6. Since he bought so many he only needs to pay 80%. How much did he pay?
Answer: He got 5 * 12 = 60 roses. So the cost was 6 * 60 = $360. So he has to pay 360 * .8 = $288. The answer is 288.

Question: Company A and Company B merge. Company A receives 60% of the combined profits under the new merger, and company B receives 40% of the profits. If company B gets a total of $60000 in profit, how much does company A get?
Answer: Let the total profit of both companies be denoted by x. Therefore, 40% * x = 0.4 * x = $60000. So x = $60000 / 0.4 = $150000. If Company B gets 60 % of the profits, it gets 60% of $150000, which is 0.6 * $150000 = $90000. The answer is 90000.

Question: Jack is trying to stack cans in his emergency bunker. If he can fit 12 cans in one row, 4 rows on one shelf, and 10 shelves in one closet, how many cans can he store in each closet?
Answer:
First find the total number of cans Jack can fit on one shelf: 12 cans / row * 4 rows / shelf = 48 cans / shelf. Then find the number of cans he can fit on all the shelves in one closet: 48 cans / shelf * 10 shelves = 480 cans. The answer is 480.
