[Question]Tommy has 10 more sheets than Jimmy does. If Jimmy has 32 sheets, how many more sheets will Jimmy have than Tommy if his friend Ashton gives him 40 sheets.
[Answer]If Jimmy has 32 sheets, and Tommy has 10 more sheets than Jimmy does, Tommy has 10 + 32 = 42 sheets. When Ashton gives Jimmy 40 sheets, his total number of sheets increases to 32 + 40 = 72. The number of sheets that Jimmy now have than Tommy is 72 - 42 = 30. The answer is 30.

Question: Nancy wanted to make peanut butter cookies for a family gathering, but her cousin is allergic to peanuts. She decided to make almond butter cookies instead. A jar of almond butter costs three times the amount that a jar of peanut butter does. It takes half a jar to make a batch of cookies. A jar of peanut butter costs $3. How many dollars more does it cost per batch to make almond butter cookies instead of peanut butter cookies?
Answer: A jar of almond butter costs 3 * 3 = $9. It takes half a jar to make a batch of cookies, so it costs 9 / 2 = $4.50 to use almond butter. It costs 3 / 2 = $1.50 to use peanut butter. Thus, it costs 4.50 - 1.50 = $3 more to make a batch of almond butter cookies than peanut butter cookies. The answer is 3.

[Answer]In a week, working 10 hours a day, Bob logs 10 * 5 = 50 hours. After a month with 4 weeks, Bob logs 4 * 50 = 200 hours for his office working hours. The answer is 200.
Q: John works a job that offers performance bonuses. He makes $80 a day and works for 8 hours. He has the option of working hard to earn the performance bonus of an extra $20 a day, but the extra effort results in a 2-hour longer workday. How much does John make per hour if he decides to earn the bonus?
A: First, we need to determine the length of John's workday if he decides to earn the bonus. We do this by performing 8 + 2 = 10 hours for his workday. Next, we need to determine his overall pay. We do this by performing 80 + 20 = 100 dollars a day. We then determine John's hourly rate by dividing his pay by the number of hours worked, performing 100 / 10 = 10 dollars an hour. The answer is 10.
Question: At a certain school, 2/3 of the population are females. One-tenth of the males are foreign students. If the school has 300 students, how many students are non-foreign male students?
Answer:
There are 300 x 2 / 3 = 200 females in the school. So, 300 - 200 = 100 are males. Out of the 100 males, 100 x 1 / 10 = 10 are male foreign students. Thus, there are 100 - 10 = 90 non - foreign male students. The answer is 90.
