Q: Hayes does 3 loads of laundry a week using a detergent pod for each load. His detergent pods come 39 to a pack. How many packs of detergent pods will he need to do a full year of laundry?
A: He uses 3 detergent pods a week and there are 52 weeks in a year, so he uses 3 * 52 = 156. His detergent has 39 pods per pack and he needs 156 pods, so he will need 156 / 39 = 4 packs of detergent pods. The answer is 4.
Question: Ashley had a birthday party and invited 20 of her friends, telling them to each invite one more person to attend the party. If half the number of the invited guests each came with one more person, what's the total number of people at the party, including Ashley?
Answer: If she invited 20 friends, then the number of friends who came with one more person is 1 / 2 * 20 = 10. If the 10 friends came with 10 more people, the total number of guests becomes 20 + 10 = 30 guests. If you add Ashley, the total number of people in the party is 30 + 1 = 31 people. The answer is 31.
[Question]Sharon wants to get kitchen supplies. She admired Angela's kitchen supplies which consist of 20 pots, 6 more than three times as many plates as the pots, and half as many cutlery as the plates. Sharon wants to buy half as many pots as Angela, 20 less than three times as many plates as Angela, and twice as much cutlery as Angela. What is the total number of kitchen supplies Sharon wants to buy?
[Answer]Angela has 6 + 3 * 20 = 66 plates. Angela has 1 / 2 * 66 = 33 cutlery. Sharon wants to buy 1 / 2 * 20 = 10 pots. Sharon wants to buy 3 * 66 - 20 = 178 plates. Sharon wants to buy 2 * 33 = 66 cutlery. Sharon wants to buy a total of 10 + 178 + 66 = 254 kitchen supplies. The answer is 254.
Q: From March to August, Sam made $460 doing 23 hours of yard work. However, from September to February, Sam was only able to work for 8 hours. If Sam is saving up to buy a video game console that costs $600 and has already spent $340 to fix his car, how many more hours does he need to work before he can buy the video game console?
A: Sam makes $460 / 23 hrs = $20 / hr. From September to February, Sam made 8hrs x $20 / hr = $160. From March to February, Sam made a total of $460 + $160 = $620. After fixing his car, he was left with $620 - $340 = $280. Sam needs another $600 - $280 = $320. Sam needs to work another $320 / $20 / hr = 16 hours. The answer is 16.

Answer: Dan gets 5 * 12 = 60 golf balls. Gus gets 2 * 12 = 24 golf balls. In total they purchase 60 + 24 + 48 = 132 golf balls. The answer is 132.
Q: 50% of substitute teachers walk out after 1 hour of teaching. 30% of the remainder quit before lunch. If 60 substitute teachers show up at 7 AM, how many will be left after lunch?
A:
First find the number of substitute teachers left after half quit: 60 teachers / 2 = 30 teachers. Then find how many teachers quit after an hour but before lunch: 30 teachers * 30% = 9 teachers. Then subtract that number from the number of teachers left after one hour to find how many are left after lunch: 30 teachers - 9 teachers = 21 teachers. The answer is 21.
