At a cafe, the breakfast plate has two eggs and twice as many bacon strips as eggs. If 14 customers order breakfast plates, how many bacon strips does the cook need to fry?
Let's think: Each breakfast plate has 2 x 2 = 4 bacon strips. The cook needs to fry 14 x 4 = 56 bacon strips.. The answer is: 56.

Jamal bought 4 half dozen colored crayons at $2 per crayon. What was the total cost of the crayons that she bought?
Let's think: Since a dozen has 12 items, a half dozen has 1 / 2 * 12 = 6 items. Since Jamal bought four half dozen colored crayons, he bought 4 * 6 = 24 colored crayons. If each crayon's cost was $2, Jamal paid $2 * 24 = $48 for all the crayons he bought.. The answer is: 48.

James creates a media empire. He creates a movie for $2000. Each DVD cost $6 to make. He sells it for 2.5 times that much. He sells 500 movies a day for 5 days a week. How much profit does he make in 20 weeks?
Let's think: He sold each DVD for 6 * 2.5 = $15. So he makes a profit of 15 - 6 = $9. So each day he makes a profit of 9 * 500 = $4500. So he makes 4500 * 5 = $22,500. He makes 22,500 * 20 = $450,000. Then after the cost of creating the movie he has a profit of 450,000 - 2000 = $448,000.. The answer is: 448000.

A chair costs 1/7 of the cost of a table. If a table costs $140, how much will it cost to buy a table and 4 chairs?
Let's think:
One chair costs $140 x 1 / 7 = $20. Four chairs cost $20 x 4 = $80. So a table and 4 chairs cost $140 + $80 = $220.. The answer is: 220.
