Q: Johny traveled South 40 miles, then turned East and traveled for 20 more miles than the distance he took to travel to the south. If he turned North and traveled twice the distance he had traveled to the East, calculate the total distance his journey took.
A: If the distance he took traveling to the East is 20 miles more than the distance he took to travel to the south, he took 40 + 20 = 60 miles traveling to the East. Johny's total distance traveling to the south and then to the East is 60 + 40 = 100 miles. The journey to the North was 2 * 60 = 120, twice the distance he took traveling to the East. The whole journey took 100 + 120 = 220 miles. The answer is 220.
Question: Carly is making a beaded corset. She's going to add 50 rows of purple beads with 20 beads per row, 40 rows of blue beads with 18 beads per row, and 80 gold beads. If beads cost $1 per 10 beads, how much do all the beads she bought cost?
Answer: First find the total number of purple beads Carly needs: 50 rows * 20 beads / row = 1000 beads. Then find the total number of blue beads Carly needs: 40 rows * 18 beads / row = 720 beads. Then add the number of each color she needs to find the total number she needs: 1000 beads + 720 beads + 80 beads = 1800 beads. Then divide the number of beads by 10 to find the cost: 1800 beads / 10 beads / $1 = $180. The answer is 180.
[Question]Alina and her best friend Lucia like to chat a lot. On a particular day, Alina sent 20 fewer messages than her friend Lucia, who sent 120 messages. The next day, Lucia sent 1/3 of the messages she sent the previous day, while Alina doubled the messages she sent on the first day. If they sent the same number of messages on the third day as the first day, what is the total number of messages they sent in those three days?
[Answer]On the first day, Alina sent 120 - 20 = 100 messages. The total number for the first day is 100 + 120 = 220 messages. On the second day, Lucia sent 1 / 3 * 120 = 40 messages. Alina sent 100 * 2 = 200 messages on the second day. The total for the second day is 40 + 200 = 240 messages. For the three days, they sent 220 + 220 + 240 = 680 messages. The answer is 680.
Q: Before Marcus went on a road trip to LA, his car had 1728 miles on it. He filled his empty gas tank twice and used up all the gas on the trip. If Marcus's car gets 30 miles per gallon and holds 20 gallons of gas, how many miles does Marcus' car have on it now?
A: First, figure out how many gallons of gas Marcus bought by multiply the gas tank's volume by the number of fill - ups: 20 gallons * 2 = 40 gallons. Then multiply that number by Marcus's fuel mileage to find how many miles he drove: 40 gallons * 30 miles / gallon = 1200 miles. Then add that amount to the initial number of miles on Marcus' car to find the final number of miles: 1728 miles + 1200 miles = 2928 miles. The answer is 2928.
Question: For 12 servings of Chicken Surprise, you need 4.5 pounds of chicken and 24 ounces of stuffing. How many ounces would one serving of Chicken Surprise be?

He spent an extra 500 - 300 = $200 on the video card. That means the total cost was 1200 + 200 = $1400. The answer is 1400.
