[Question]Sally reads 10 pages of a book on weekdays and 20 pages on weekends. If it takes 2 weeks for Sally to finish her book, how many pages that book has?

Question: Ed booked a hotel while he was on vacation. Staying at the hotel cost was $1.50 per hour every night and $2 per hour every morning. If Ed had $80 and he stayed in the hotel for 6 hours last night and 4 hours this morning, how much money was he left with after paying for his stay at the hotel?
Answer: Ed spent $1.50 x 6 = $9 for staying in the hotel last night. He spent $2 x 4 = $8 for staying in the hotel this morning. So, the total money he spent in the hotel is $9 + $8 = $17. Therefore, he still has $80 - $17 = $63 left after staying in the hotel. The answer is 63.
[Question]An auctioneer raises the price of an item he is auctioning by $5 every time someone new bids on it. Two people enter a bidding war on a desk and the price goes from $15 to $65 before the desk is sold. How many times did each person bid on the desk?
[Answer]The desk price was raised 65 - 15 = $50. At $5 per bid, there were 50 / 5 = 10 bids on the desk. There were two bidders, so each bid 10 / 2 = 5 times on the desk. The answer is 5.
Q: John weighs one-quarter times more than what Mary weighs. Mary weighs 20 lbs less than Jamison's weight. If Mary weighs 160 lbs, what's the combined weight of the three?
A: If Mary weighs 160 lbs, Jamison weighs 160 lbs + 20 lbs = 180 lbs. If John weighs one - quarter less than what Mary weighs, he weighs 1 / 4 * 160 lbs = 40 lbs more. The total weight of John is 160 lbs + 40 lbs = 200 lbs. The total weight for the three is 200 lbs + 180 lbs + 160 lbs = 540 lbs. The answer is 540.
