Question: It takes Bryan 5 minutes to walk from his house to the bus station. Then he rides the bus for 20 minutes. After that, he walks 5 minutes from the bus station to his job. It takes the same amount of time in the morning and the evening. How many hours per year does Bryan spend traveling to and from work, if he works every day?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Bryan spends 5 + 20 + 5 = 30 minutes traveling to work. He does this twice a day, so he spends 30 * 2 = 60 minutes traveling per day. Thus, he spends 60 / 60 = 1 hour traveling to and from work every day. Thus, he spends 1 hour * 365 days = 365 hours traveling per year.
So the answer is 365.

Question: Mr. Rocky went to the market to sell his handmade crafts on a particular week. He was selling jewelry at $30 each and paintings at $100 each. However, he realized the income from the sales wasn't worth the labor and materials he had used, so he decided to increase the price of jewelry by $10 each and the cost of each painting by 20%. Calculate the total price a buyer who takes two pieces of jewelry and five paintings would pay
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: After increasing the price of a piece of jewelry, the price increased from $30 to $30 + $10 = $40 each. He also increased the price of each painting by 20 / 100 * 100 = $20. The total price for buying one painting at the new price is $100 + $20 = $120. If a buyer purchases two pieces of jewelry, the total cost becomes 2 * $40 = $80. When the buyer also buys 5 paintings, he pays a total of $120 * 5 = $600. 2 pieces of jewelry and 5 paintings cost $600 + $80 = $680 at the new prices.
So the answer is 680.

Question: Francis' family has 2 ukuleles, 4 guitars, and a certain number of violins. Each ukulele has 4 strings. Each guitar has 6 strings. Each violin has 4 strings. If the total number of strings among the ukuleles, guitars, and violins is 40 strings, how many violins does Francis' family have?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: From the ukuleles, there are 2 * 4 = 8 strings. From the guitars, there are 4 * 6 = 24 strings. From the violins, there are 40 - 8 - 24 = 8 strings. The total number of violins Francis' family has is 8 / 4 = 2 violins.
So the answer is 2.

Question: John is a hack author. He writes a book every 2 months. He has been writing for 20 years and has earned an average of $30,000 per book. How much money has he made writing?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: He writes 12 / 2 = 6 books a year. That means he has written 6 * 20 = 120 books. So he has made 120 * 30,000 = $3,600,000 from writing.
So the answer is 3600000.
