Q: Jill and Bob want to finally buy a house for themselves, so they went with a real estate agent to see some houses before making a decision. The first house was not too far from their work and the price was accessible. The second house was really big and Jill loved it but was twice as expensive as the first one and was way over their budget. They ended up buying the first one, knowing that the price of both houses altogether is $600,000. How much did Jill and Bob end up paying for their new house?
A: Let C be the cost of the first house. The cost of the second house is 2C. The cost of the two houses together is C + 2C = $600,000. 3C = $600,000. C = $600,000 / 3 = $200,000. The answer is 200000.
Question: James invests $2000 a week into his bank account. He had $250,000 in his account when the year started. At the end of the year, he gets a windfall that is worth 50% more than what he has in his bank account.  How much money does he have?
Answer: He deposited 2000 * 52 = $104,000 into his account. So he has 250000 + 104000 = $354,000. His windfall is worth .5 * 354,000 = $177,000 more than his current account. That means he got 177,000 + 354,000 = $531,000. So he had a total of 531,000 + 354,000 = $885,000. The answer is 885000.
[Question]Trevor and two of his neighborhood friends go to the toy shop every year to buy toys. Trevor always spends $20 more than his friend Reed on toys, and Reed spends 2 times as much money as their friend Quinn on the toys. If Trevor spends $80 every year to buy his toys, calculate how much money in total the three spend in 4 years.
[Answer]If Trevor spends $20 more than Reed every year to buy toys, Reed spends $80 - $20 = $60. Since Reed uses $60 every year to buy toys, his friend Quinn uses 60 / 2 = $30 every year to buy toys. The total amount of money the three spend in a year together to buy toys is $30 + $60 + $80 = $170. The total amount of money the three will use to buy toys in 4 years is $170 * 4 = $680. The answer is 680.
Q: Kristy, a sales representative earns a basic salary of $7.50 per hour plus a 16% commission on everything she sells. This month, she worked for 160 hours and sold $25000 worth of items. Her monthly budget for food, clothing, rent, transportation, bills and savings is 95% of her total monthly earnings and the rest will be put towards insurance. How much did she allocate to insurance?
A: Kristy earns a basic salary of $7.50 x 160 = $1200. Her total commission is $25000 x 16 / 100 = $4000. Thus, her total earning is $1200 + $4000 = $5200. Her monthly budget aside from the insurance is $5200 x 95 / 100 = $4940. Therefore, she allocated $5200 - $4940 = $260 on insurance. The answer is 260.
Question: Every Monday to Friday morning, Alice walks 10 miles through a large grass field to get to school. To avoid the hot afternoon sun on her way home, she walks 12 miles through a forest. When she gets home on Friday, how many miles will she have walked that week?
Answer: On Monday the total number of miles Alice walks to and from school is 10 + 12 = 22 miles. For the other 4 days, from Tuesday to Friday, she walks an additional 4 * 22 = 88 miles. The total number of miles she will have walked by Friday 22 + 88 = 110 miles. The answer is 110.
