Q: During my workout yesterday, I did 30 squats. Each day, I plan to increase my number of squats by 5 more than the previous day. If I do my workout for four consecutive days, how many squats will I perform the day after tomorrow?
A: Today, I will perform 30 + 5 = 35 squats. Tomorrow, I will perform 35 + 5 = 40 squats. So the day after tomorrow, I will perform 40 + 5 = 45 squats. The answer is 45.
Question: The ski lift carries skiers all the way from the bottom of the mountain to the very top of the mountain, and then drops them off so they can ski back down the mountain. If it takes a skier 15 minutes to ride the lift from the bottom to the top of the mountain, and then it takes 5 minutes to ski back down the mountain, what is the most number of times a person can ski down the mountain in 2 hours?
Answer: East trip up and back down the mountain takes 15 + 5 = 20 minutes per trip. Two hours is 2 * 60 = 120 minutes. Therefore, in 120 minutes, a skier can take 120 / 20 = 6 trips up and back down the mountain. The answer is 6.
[Question]A man divides 3 hectares of land evenly among his 8 sons. If every 750m^2 of this land can be used to make a profit of $500 from every 3 months of commercial farming, how much can each son make if they cultivate their share of the land for one year(1 hectare is equal to 10000 m^2)?
[Answer]There are 10000m^2 in each hectare, so 3 hectares contains 3 * 10000 = 30000m^2 of land. 30000m^2 is divided among 8 sons so each son will get 30000 / 8 = 3750m^2. In every 3750m^2, there are 3750 / 750 = 5 portions of 750m^2 areas of land. Each son can make 5 * $500 = $2500 every 3 months from cultivating their share. In one year there are 12 months so each son can make $2500 up to 12 / 3 = 4 times in a year. Each son can make a total of $2500 * 4 = $10000 in a year. The answer is 10000.
Q: The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 2% today. The Dow ended the day at 8,722. What was the Dow in the morning before the markets opened?

Question: At a middle school, 20% of the students are in the band. If 168 students are in the band, how many students go to the middle school?
Answer: Let X be the number of students in the middle school. We know that X * 20% = 168 students are in the band. So there are X = 168 / 20% = 840 students in the middle school. The answer is 840.

A:

Show your work and conclude with the exact phrasing "Therefore, the final answer is [answer]." where [answer] is just the final number or expression that solves the problem.

Since a dozen is equal to 12, then two dozens are equal to 12 x 2 = 24. One - half dozen is equal to 12 / 2 = 6. Thus, Bruno will have a total of 24 + 6 = 30 pens. The answer is 30.
