Andrew has 2 3-hour appointments today. He spends the rest of his 8-hour workday stamping permit applications. If he can stamp 50 permit applications an hour, how many permits total does he stamp today? Give me reasons, before answering the question

First find the total length of the appointments: 2 appointments * 3 hours / appointment = 6 hours. Then subtract that time from the length of Andrew's workday to find how many hours he spends stamping permits: 8 hours - 6 hours = 2 hours. Then multiply that number by the number of permits he can stamp per day to find how many permits he stamps: 50 permits / hour * 2 hours = 100 permits. So the final answer is 100.
