Q: Joyce moved to the countryside because she needed more farmland to grow her vegetables. Her new property is 10 times larger than her previous property, but her new land has a 1-acre pond on it where she cannot grow vegetables. If her previous property was 2 acres, how many acres of land does she now own that are suitable for growing vegetables?
A: Joyce's new land is 10 times larger than her old 2 - acre property, for a total of 2 * 10 = 20 acres of land. One acre is not suitable for farming, leaving her with 20 - 1 = 19 acres of land suitable for farming. The answer is 19.
Question: Jenn is saving up money to buy a bike. She has 5 jars full of quarters. Each jar can hold 160 quarters. If the bike costs 180 dollars, how much money will she have left over after buying it?
Answer: Jenn has 5 * 160 = 800 quarters. The quarters are worth 800 * 0.25 = 200 dollars. After buying the bike she will have 200 - 180 = 20 dollars left. The answer is 20.
[Question]Joe's pizzeria has an amazing promotion. If you buy any regular large pizza you can get the next 3 medium pizzas for $5 each. What are your total savings if the regular medium pizza price is $18 and you take full advantage of the promotion?
[Answer]If one medium pizza costs $18 and with the promotion I can buy one for $5, then I'm saving $18 - $5 = $13 on each medium pizza. If I take full advantage of the promotion, that means I bought all 3 medium pizzas, therefore I saved a total of 3 * $13 = $39 in total. The answer is 39.
Q: Jess and her family play Jenga, a game made up of 54 stacked blocks in which each player removes one block in turns until the stack falls. The 5 players, including Jess, play 5 rounds in which each player removes one block. In the sixth round, Jess's father goes first. He removes a block, causing the tower to almost fall. Next, Jess tries to remove another block knocking down the tower. How many blocks did the tower have before Jess's turn?
A: In each round, the 5 players removed a total of 5 * 1 = 5 blocks. In the 5 rounds played, the players removed a total of 5 * 5 = 25 blocks. Adding the block removed by Jess's father in the sixth round, a total of 25 + 1 = 26 blocks were removed. Before the tower fell, there were 54 - 26 = 28 blocks. The answer is 28.
Question: John decides to take up illustration. He draws and colors 10 pictures. It takes him 2 hours to draw each picture and 30% less time to color each picture. How long does he spend on all the pictures?
Answer: The coloring takes 2 * .3 = .6 hours less than the drawing. So it takes 2 - .6 = 1.4 hours per picture. So it takes him 2 + 1.4 = 3.4 hours per picture. That means it takes 3.4 * 10 = 34 hours. The answer is 34.
Q: The distance between Arizona and New York is around 2,000 miles by plane. The distance between the 2 different US states increases by 40% if someone decides to drive instead of flying.

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.

The distance between Arizona and New York is 2,000 miles by plane. The distance between Arizona and New York is 40% greater by car, which is 40% * 2,000 = 800 miles. This results in a total of 2,000 + 800 = 2,800 miles between Arizona and New York by car. If Missouri is in the middle of the way between Arizona and New York, someone would drive half of the distance to go from Missouri to New York, which is 2,800 / 2 = 1,400. The answer is 1400.
