Janet likes collecting action figures in her spare time. She currently owns 10 action figures and sells 6 of them to get 4 that are in better condition. Her brother then gives her his collection which is twice the size of what Janet has at the time. How many action figures does she now have in total?

Janet has 10 action figures and sells 6 so she has 10 - 6 =

<<10-6=4>>4 action figures left. She then buys four more so she now has 4 + 4 = <<4+4=8>>8 action figures. Her brother gives her his collection which is 2 * 8 = <<2*8=16>>16 action figures. Now in total, she has 8 + 16 = <<8+16=24>>24 action figures. #### 24 The height of the tree in Kilmer Park is 52 feet. Each year it grows 5 feet. In 8 years, what will the height of the tree be in inches, assuming 1 foot is 12 inches. In 8 years, the tree will have grown 5*8 = <<5*8=40>>40 feet. In 8 years, the tree will be 52+40 = <<52+40=92>>92 feet. In 8 years, the tree will be 92*12 = <<92*12=1104>>1104 inches. #### 1104 Yesterday, Vincent bought fifteen packs of stickers.

If hair grows at a rate of .5 inches per month how many years did it take him to grow out his hair? His hair grew 36 inches - 6 inches = <<36-6=30>>30 inches Hair grows at a rate of 12 months/year * 0.5 inches/month =<<12*0.5=6>>6 inches/year It took him 30 inches / 6 inches/year = <<30/6=5>>5 years to grow his hair out. #### 5 A group of 4 fruit baskets contains 9 apples, 15 oranges, and 14 bananas in the first three baskets and 2 less of each fruit in the fourth basket. How many fruits are there? For the first three baskets, the number of apples and oranges in one basket is 9+15=<<9+15=24>>24 In total, together with bananas, the number of fruits in one basket is 24+14=<<24+14=38>>38 for the first three baskets. Since there are three baskets each having 38 fruits, there are 3*38=<<3*38=114>>114 fruits in the first three baskets. The number of apples in the fourth basket is 9-2=<<9-2=7>>7 There are also 15-2=<<15-2=13>>13 oranges in the fourth basket The combined number of oranges and apples in the fourth basket is 13+7=<<13+7=20>>20 The fourth basket also contains 14-2=<<14-2=12>>12 bananas. In total, the fourth basket has 20+12=<<20+12=32>>32 fruits.

She can earn $30 per day and can earn $15 more when she works a 2 hour overtime shift. If she works three overtime shifts this week, how much will she earn this week? Janice can earn $30 x 5 = $<<30*5=150>>150 per week. She will earn $15 x 3 = $<<15*3=45>>45 more if she works three overtime shifts. Therefore, Janice will earn $150 + $45 = $<<150+45=195>>195 this week. #### 195 The epic poem currently contains 24 lines.
