Q: Ginger likes to make cakes for every holiday for people. She has 2 children, each of whom she bakes a cake for on their birthdays, Christmas, Easter, and Halloween. She has a husband for whom she makes a cake on these same holidays, as well as on their anniversary and Valentine's Day. Lastly, she makes both her parents cakes as well, but only for their birthdays since they live far away. How many cakes does she make in 10 years?
A: Ginger has 2 children whom she bakes for 4 times a year, for 2 * 4 = 8 cakes. She makes her husband 6 cakes a year. She makes each of her 2 parents a cake for 2 * 1 = 2 cakes. On a yearly basis, she therefore makes 8 + 6 + 2 = 16 cakes. In 10 years, she would make 16 * 10 = 160 cakes. The answer is 160.
Question: In 21 hours, a heating plant consumes 7 liters of fuel. How much does it consume in 90 hours?
Answer: Let x be the consumption in 90 hours. We have: 21 / 7 = 90 / x because the heating plant always consumes fuel at the same rate. Multiplying both sides by 7x, we get 21x = 90 * 7. This can be simplified to 21x = 630. So, the consumption in 90 hours is x = 630 / 21 = 30 liters. The answer is 30.
[Question]Donald went to a computer store. He saw a 15% reduction in the price of the laptop he wants to buy. If the laptop originally costs $800, how much will he pay for the laptop?

Q: Gilbert, the bearded dragon, eats 4 crickets per week when the temperature averages 90 degrees F per day, but he eats twice as many crickets per week when the temperature averages 100 degrees F. How many crickets will he eat over 15 weeks if the temperature averages 90 degrees F for 80% of the time, and 100 degrees F for the remainder of the time?
A: It will be 90 degrees for 80% of the 15 weeks, for a total of 0.8 * 15 = 12 weeks. It will be 100 degrees F for the remainder of the 15 weeks, or 15 - 12 = 3 weeks. During the 12 weeks when it averages 90 degrees F, he will eat 4 crickets per week for a total of 12 * 4 = 48 crickets. When it averages 100 degrees F, he eats twice as many crickets per week as when it averages 90 degrees F per week, for a total of 2 * 4 = 8 crickets per week. During these 3 weeks, he will eat 8 * 3 = 24 crickets. Therefore, over the 15 weeks, he will eat a total of 48 + 24 = 72 crickets. The answer is 72.
