Q: Sophie does 4 loads of laundry a week and uses 1 dryer sheet per load. A box of dryer sheets costs $5.50 and has 104 dryer sheets in a box. On her birthday, she was given wool dryer balls to use instead of dryer sheets. How much money does she save in a year not buying dryer sheets?
A: She does 4 loads of laundry a week and used 1 dryer sheet per load for a total of 4 * 1 = 4 dryer sheets in a week. She used 4 dryer sheets per week for 52 weeks for a total of 4 * 52 = 208 dryer sheets. Her box of dryer sheets has 104 sheets so she needs 208 / 104 = 2 boxes of dryer sheets. Each box costs $5.50 and she used 2 boxes so she now saves 5.50 * 2 = $11.00 by not buying dryer sheets. The answer is 11.
Question: Fran is in charge of counting votes for the book club's next book, but she always cheats so her favorite gets picked. Originally, there were 10 votes for Game of Thrones, 12 votes for Twilight, and 20 votes for The Art of the Deal. Fran throws away 80% of the votes for The Art of the Deal and half the votes for Twilight. What percentage of the altered votes were for Game of Thrones?
Answer: First find the total number of The Art of the Deal votes Fran throws away: 80% * 20 votes = 16 votes. Then subtract these votes from the total number of The Art of the Deal votes to find the altered number: 20 votes - 16 votes = 4 votes. Then divide the total number Twilight votes by 2 to find the altered number of votes: 12 votes / 2 = 6 votes. Then add the altered number of votes for each book to find the total altered number of votes: 6 votes + 4 votes + 10 votes = 20 votes. Then divide the number of votes for Game of Thrones by the total altered number of votes and multiply by 100% to express the answer as a percentage: 10 votes / 20 votes * 100% = 50%. The answer is 50.
[Question]The average speed for an hour drive is 66 miles per hour. If Felix wanted to drive twice as fast for 4 hours, how many miles will he cover?
[Answer]If Felix drives twice as fast, he will be covering 2 * 66 = 132 miles per hour. In four hours, driving at 132 miles per hour, since distance = speed * time, Felix will cover 132 * 4 = 528 miles. The answer is 528.
Q: Casey is pumping water out of her well. She can pump 3 gallons a minute. She has 4 rows of 15 corn plants each, and each plant needs half a gallon of water. She also has 10 pigs, which each need 4 gallons of water, and 20 ducks that each need a quarter of a gallon of water. How many minutes does Casey need to spend pumping water?
A: First find how many corn plants there are: 15 plants / row * 4 rows = 60 plants. Then find how many gallons of water of the corn needs: 60 plants * 1 / 2 gallon / plant = 30 gallons. Then find how many gallons of water the pigs need: 10 pigs * 4 gallons / pig = 40 gallons. Then find how many gallons of water the ducks need: 20 ducks * 1 / 4 gallon / duck = 5 gallons. Now add up all three quantities of water to find the total water needed: 5 gallons + 40 gallons + 30 gallons = 75 gallons. Now divide the total water needed by Casey's pumping rate to find how long she spends pumping: 75 gallons / 3 gallons / minute = 25 minutes. The answer is 25.
Question: Randolph is 5 years older than Sydney. Sydney is twice as old as Sherry. If Sherry is 25, how old is Randolph?

Q: Jerry owes a loan shark $200. The loan shark charges Jerry 10% interest compounded monthly. (This means that every month the loan shark adds Jerry's interest amount to his loan, and the next month Jerry has to pay 10% on the new total). If Jerry doesn't make any payments, how much (in dollars) does the loan shark charge in interest the second month?
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.

First calculate how much the loan shark charges in interest the first month by multiplying the loan amount by the interest rate: $200 * 10% = $20. Now add the interest amount to the original amount of the loan to find Jerry's new total: $200 + $20 = $220. Now multiply the new total by 10% to find out how much Jerry owes the loan shark in interest the second month: $220 * 10% = $22. The answer is 22.
