Julie works at a restaurant that pays her an hourly rate of $5. She works 8 hours a day and 6 days a week. How much is her monthly salary if she was not able to go to work for a day?
Let's think: Julie's daily earnings are $5 x 8 = $40. Her weekly earnings are $40 x 6 = $240. Her monthly earnings are $240 x 4 = $960. Since she was not able to work for a day, her salary will be $960 - $40 = $920.. The answer is: 920.

Archer caught eight fish from the lake to sell in the market. When he reached the market, he sold the fish faster than he had anticipated and decided to go back to the lake and catch more fish. He caught 12 more fish in the second round than he had caught earlier. The demand was even greater, and he had to close the day by catching 60% more fish than the number he had caught in the second round and sold all of them in the market. How many fish did he catch that day?
Let's think: He caught 12 more fish in the second round than he had caught earlier, a total of 12 + 8 = 20 fish. The total number of fish he caught in the two rounds is 20 + 8 = 28. In the third round, Archer caught 60 / 100 * 20 = 12 fish which were 60% more fish than the number he had caught in the second round. This means he caught a total of 12 + 20 = 32 fish. Archer caught a total of 28 + 32 = 60 fish on that day.. The answer is: 60.

Jill runs a business breeding llamas. Nine of her llamas got pregnant with 1 calf, and 5 of them got pregnant with twins. After they give birth, Jill traded 8 of the calves for 2 new adult llamas. Then she sells 1/3 of her herd at the market. How many total llamas (calves and adults) does Jill have now?
Let's think: The number of calves that will be born as twins is 5 * 2 = 10 calves. The total number of adults and calves before the trade is 9 + 5 + 9 + 10 = 33. Jill had 33 - 8 = 25 left for trading 8 of the claves. But, she got 2 adult llamas in return, so she now has a total of 25 + 2 = 27 llamas. She then sold 27 / 3 = 9 llamas in the market. So, Jill has 27 - 9 = 18 llamas now.. The answer is: 18.

Dirk sells amulets at a Ren Faire. He sells for 2 days and each day he sells 25 amulets. Each amulet sells for 40 dollars and they cost him 30 dollars to make. If he has to give 10% of his revenue to the faire, how much profit did he make?
Let's think:
He sold 2 * 25 = 50 amulets. So he made 40 * 50 = $2000. The faire took 2000 * .1 = $200. So he kept 2000 - 200 = $1800. The amulets cost 50 * 30 = $1500 to make. So he had a profit of 1800 - 1500 = $300.. The answer is: 300.
