Question: Hannah sold 40 pieces of cookies for $0.8 each and 30 cupcakes for $2 each. She used the money to buy 2 sets of measuring spoons for $6.5 each. How much money does she have left?
Answer: Hannah's earnings from the cookies is 40 x $0.8 = $32. Her earnings from the cupcakes is 30 x $2 = $60. Her total earnings for the cupcakes and cookies is $32 + $60 = $92. The cost of 2 sets of measuring spoons is 2 x $6.5 = $13. So, Hannah has $92 - $13 = $79. The answer is 79.
[Question]John can read a book 60% faster than his brother. If his brother takes 8 hours to read a book, how long would it take John to read 3 books?
[Answer]Reading 60% faster means John's brother takes 1 + .6 = 1.6 times as long as John to read. So John reads a book in 8 / 1.6 = 5 hours. So it would take John 5 * 3 = 15 hours to read 3 books. The answer is 15.
Q: Krista started raising chickens. She has 10 hens who lay eggs. She sells the eggs for $3 a dozen. In four weeks, she sold $120 worth of eggs. If she sold all the eggs her hens laid, how many eggs does each hen lay a week?
A: At $3 a dozen, Krista sold $120 / $3 = 40 dozen eggs. If 10 hens laid 40 dozen eggs in 4 weeks, that means 40 dozen eggs / 10 hens = 4 dozen eggs were laid by each hen in four weeks. To find out how many eggs each hen laid in a week, 4 dozen eggs / 4 weeks = 1 dozen eggs each week. Since a dozen has 12 eggs, each hen lays 12 * 1 = 12 eggs each week. The answer is 12.
Question: A swarm of ants discovered a pile of sugar that spilled from a dropped bag. They begin to harvest it and carry it off to their anthill. Every hour, the ants remove 4 ounces of sugar. The bag of sugar held 24 ounces before it was dropped. After three hours, how many more hours will the ants need to harvest the remaining sugar?
Answer: After 3 hours, the ants have removed 4 * 3 = 12 ounces of sugar. There are 24 - 12 = 12 ounces of sugar left. Thus, the ants need 12 / 4 = 3 more hours to harvest the remaining sugar. The answer is 3.

[Question]John can read a book 60% faster than his brother. If his brother takes 8 hours to read a book, how long would it take John to read 3 books?
[Answer]Reading 60% faster means John's brother takes 1 + .6 = 1.6 times as long as John to read. So John reads a book in 8 / 1.6 = 5 hours. So it would take John 5 * 3 = 15 hours to read 3 books. The answer is 15.
