Question: There are 3/5 times as many people living in Boise as the number living in Seattle. There are 4000 more people in Lake View than the population in Seattle. If Lake View's population is 24000, calculate the total population of the three cities.
Answer: If Lake View's population is 24000, then there are 24000 - 4000 = 20000 people living in Seattle. The total population of Seattle and Lake view is 20000 + 24000 = 44000. Since the population in Boise is 3 / 5 times that of Seattle, there are 3 / 5 * 20000 = 12000 people living in Boise. The three cities have a total population of 44000 + 12000 = 56000. The answer is 56000.

Q: Heather is going to sew 150 aprons that are to be used for a kiddie crew program. She already was able to sew 13 aprons, and today, she sewed three times as many aprons. How many aprons should she sew tomorrow if she wants to sew half of the remaining number of aprons needed?
A: Heather has sewn 13 x 3 = 39 aprons today. The total number of aprons sewn is 13 + 39 = 52. Heather needs to sew 150 - 52 = 98 aprons more. So, she needs to sew 98 / 2 = 49 aprons tomorrow. The answer is 49.
Question: A supermarket receives a delivery of 15 cases of tins of beans. Each case contains 24 tins. If 5% of the tins are damaged and thrown away, how many tins of beans are left?
Answer: The supermarket has 15 cases × 24 tins / case = 360 tins of beans delivered to them. There are 360 tins × 0.05 = 18 tins that are damaged and unsellable. So in the end, there are 360 tins - 18 tins = 342 tins of beans that are left. The answer is 342.
[Question]Tim decides to do a movie marathon. The first movie is 2 hours long. The next movie is 50% longer. And the last movie is 1 hour shorter than the combined time of the previous 2 movies. How long was his movie marathon?
[Answer]The second movie was 2 * .5 = 1` hour longer than the first movie. So the second movie was 2 + 1 = 3 hours long. That means the first two movies had a combined time of 3 + 2 = 5 hours. So the last movie had a length of 5 - 1 = 4 hours. That means the marathon lasted 5 + 4 = 9 hours. The answer is 9.
