Q: Nancy wants to figure out if she can afford to apply to the University of Michigan. The tuition costs $22,000 per semester. Her parents can pay half the cost, and each semester Nancy can get a scholarship for $3,000 and a student loan for twice her scholarship amount. If Nancy can work a total of 200 hours during the semester, how many dollars does she have to make per hour to pay the rest of the tuition?
A: First figure out how much Nancy has to pay after her parents pay their half by dividing the tuition by 2: $22,000 / 2 = $11,000. Then figure out how much Nancy's student loan is by multiplying her scholarship amount by 2: $3,000 * 2 = $6,000. Now subtract the amounts of Nancy's scholarship and loan to find out how much tuition she has to pay by working: $11,000 - $3,000 - $6,000 = $2,000. Now divide the remaining unpaid tuition by the number of hours Nancy works to find out how much she needs to make per hour: $2,000 / 200 hours = $10 / hour. The answer is 10.
Question: Jo-Bob hopped into the hot air balloon, released the anchor rope, and pulled on the lift chain, which ignited the flame and provided the warm air that caused the balloon to rise. When the lift chain was pulled, the balloon would rise at a rate of 50 feet per minute. But when the chain was not being pulled, the balloon would slowly descend at a rate of 10 feet per minute. During his balloon ride, he pulled the chain for 15 minutes, then released the rope for 10 minutes, then pulled the chain for another 15 minutes, and finally released the chain and allowed the balloon to slowly descend back to the earth. During his balloon ride, what was the highest elevation reached by the balloon?
Answer: The first 15 - minute chain pull caused the balloon to rise 50 * 15 = 750 feet. Releasing the chain for 10 minutes caused the balloon to descend 10 * 10 = 100 feet. The second 15 - minute chain pull caused the balloon to rise another 50 * 15 = 750 feet. Thus, at the end of the second chain pull, when the balloon was at its highest elevation, the balloon had risen to an elevation of 750 - 100 + 750 = 1400 feet above the earth's surface. The answer is 1400.
[Question]Before he lost one, Policeman O'Brien had 5 more than twice as many hats as fire chief Simpson. If fire chief Simpson has 15 hats, how many hats does Policeman O'Brien now have?
[Answer]Twice as many hats as fire chief Simpson has is 2 * 15 = 30 hats. 5 more than 30 hats is 30 + 5 = 35 hats. One less than 35 hats is 35 - 1 = 34 hats. The answer is 34.
Q: Out of the 300 comic books in a comic store, 30% are liked by females, males like 120, and both genders don't like the rest. What percentage of the comic books are disliked by both males and females?
A: The number of comic books that females like is 30 / 100 * 300 = 90 books. Together, both males and females like 90 + 120 = 210 comic books. The number of comic books that are disliked by both males and females is 300 - 210 = 90. The percentage of books that are disliked by both genders is 90 / 300 * 100 = 30%. The answer is 30.

There are a total of 5 rows of red notes * 6 notes per row = 30 red notes on the board. There are 2 blue notes per red notes * 30 red notes = 60 blue notes under the red notes. With the other blue notes at the bottom of the board, there are a total of 60 + 10 = 70 blue notes. So in total, there are 30 red notes + 70 blue notes = 100 notes in total. The answer is 100.
