Q: John decides to get gym memberships so he can get in shape. The gym close to his house is close but doesn't have everything he wants so he gets two different gym memberships. The cheap one costs $10 a month and has a sign-up fee of $50. The second gym is 3 times more expensive and it has a sign-up fee of 4 months membership. How much total did he pay in the first year for gym membership?
A: The cheap gym cost 10 * 12 = $120 for monthly fees. So the total cost was 120 + 50 = $170. The more expensive gym cost 3 * 10 = $30 per month. That means the sign - up fee was 30 * 4 = $120. The monthly fees for the expensive gym comes out to 30 * 12 = $360 per year. So the total cost for the expensive gym was 360 + 120 = $480. So his total cost was 480 + 170 = $650. The answer is 650.

Q: The owner of a company needs to install a transformer to power his electrical equipment. He operates three units of machinery that require a running current of 40A each. These appliances require at least twice their running current for starting, and the transformer chosen must account for this. What is the minimum current load that his transformer of choice must be able to carry?
A:
Three units require a running current of 40A each for a total current load of 3 * 40A = 120A. They require twice 120A for starting which is 2 * 120A = 240A which is the minimum current load that the transformer must be able to carry. The answer is 240.
