Q: A father is buying sand to fill his son's new sandbox, but he is worried that the sand will be too heavy for his car. The sandbox is square, with each side being 40 inches long. If a 30-pound bag of sand is enough to fill 80 square inches of the sandbox to an adequate depth, how many pounds of sand are needed to fill the box completely?
A: The sandbox has an area of 40 * 40 = 1600 square inches. To fill this area, 1600 / 80 = 20 bags of sand are needed. Then, the weight of these bags is 20 * 30 = 600 pounds. The answer is 600.
Question: Yolanda scored 345 points over the entire season. There were 15 games over the season. She averaged 4 free throws (worth one point), and 5 two-point baskets per game. How many three-point baskets did she average a game?
Answer: She averaged 23 points per game because 345 / 15 = 23. She averaged 10 points a game off two - point baskets because 5 x 2 = 10. She averaged 4 points a game from free throws because 4 x 1 = 4. She averaged 14 points a game off non - three point baskets because 10 + 4 = 14. She averaged 9 points from three - pointers because 23 - 14 = 9. She averaged 3 three - pointers a game because 9 / 3 = 3. The answer is 3.
[Question]A cobbler can mend 3 pairs of shoes in an hour. From Monday to Thursday, the cobbler works for 8 hours each day, and on Friday, he only works from 8am to 11am. How many pairs of shoes can the cobbler mend in a week?
[Answer]From Monday to Thursday, the cobbler can mend 3 x 8 = 24 pairs of shoes a day. From Monday to Thursday, he can mend 24 x 4 = 96 pairs of shoes. On Friday, he works for 11 - 8 = 3 hours. On Friday, he can mend 3 x 3 = 9 pairs of shoes. In a week, he can mend 96 + 9 = 105 pairs of shoes. The answer is 105.

Q: Ms. Estrella is an entrepreneur with a startup company having 10 employees. The company makes a revenue of $400000 a month, paying 10% in taxes, 5% of the remaining amount on marketing and ads, 20% of the remaining amount on operational costs, and 15% of the remaining amount on employee wages. Assuming each employee receives the same wage, calculate the amount of money each employee is paid monthly.
A:
The company pays a total of 10 / 100 * $400000 = $40000 on taxes. After taxes, the company revenue is $400000 - $40000 = $360,000. The costs of marketing and ads campaign are 5 / 100 * $360000 = $18000. After deducting the costs of marketing and adds campaign, the company remains with = $342,000 in revenue. Operational costs for the company are 20 / 100 * $342000 = $68400. After taking out the operational costs, the company remains with $342000 - $68400 = $273600. The company also pays employee wages of 15 / 100 * $273600 = $41040. If the total number of employees is 10, each employee is paid a salary of $41040 / 10 = $4104 per month. The answer is 4104.
