Q: John jogs at a speed of 4 miles per hour when he runs alone, but runs at 6 miles per hour when he is being dragged by his 100-pound German Shepherd dog. If John and his dog go on a run together for 30 minutes, and then John runs for an additional 30 minutes by himself, how far will John have traveled?
A: John runs at 6 miles per hour for 0.5 hours, for a distance of 6 * 0.5 = 3 miles. Then John runs at 4 miles per hour for 0.5 hours, for a distance of 4 * 0.5 = 2 miles. In total, John runs 3 + 2 = 5 miles. The answer is 5.

[Question]Ann is baking cookies. She bakes three dozen oatmeal raisin cookies, two dozen sugar cookies, and four dozen chocolate chip cookies. Ann gives away two dozen oatmeal raisin cookies, 1.5 dozen sugar cookies, and 2.5 dozen chocolate chip cookies. How many total cookies does she keep?
[Answer]Ann had 3 dozen oatmeal cookies - 2 dozen = 1 dozen oatmeal cookies left. Ann had 2 dozen sugar cookies - 1.5 dozen = .5 dozen sugar cookies left. Ann had 4 dozen chocolate chip cookies - 2.5 dozen = 1.5 dozen chocolate chip cookies left. Ann has a total of 1 + .5 + 1.5 dozen cookies = 3 dozen cookies. 3 dozen cookies is 3 * 12 cookies = 36 cookies remaining. The answer is 36.
Q: James buys 200 lotto tickets for 2 dollars each. Of those tickets 20% are winners. 80% of the winners are for 5 dollars. 1 ticket is the grand prize of $5,000. The other tickets win an average of $10. How much did he profit?
A: He spent 200 * 2 = $400. There were 200 * .2 = 40 tickets. Of those 40 * .8 = 32 are 5 dollar winners. So they win 32 * 5 = $160. He has 40 - 32 = 8 other winning tickets. Of those 8 - 1 = 7 wins $10. So they win 10 * 7 = $70. So he won 5000 + 70 + 160 - 400 = $4830. The answer is 4830.
Question: Jamie is in a walking group with 4 other ladies. The ladies all walk 3 miles together. On top of that, Jamie walks an additional 2 miles per day for 6 days while her friend Sue walks half that amount in 6 days. If they walk this same route 6 days a week, how many miles do the ladies walk in total?
Answer:
There are 5 ladies total in the group. They all walk 3 miles a day for 6 days so 3 * 6 = 18 miles. Jamie walks an additional 2 miles per day for 6 days so 2 * 6 = 12 miles. Sue walks half the distance of Jamie so 12 / 2 = 6 miles. Together, the ladies walk 18 + 12 + 6 = 36 miles. The answer is 36.
