conversations.value: This math problem has got me stumped: Andrew has 2 3-hour appointments today. He spends the rest of his 8-hour workday stamping permit applications. If he can stamp 50 permit applications an hour, how many permits total does he stamp today?
  Can you show me the way?

conversations.value: First find the total length of the appointments: 2 appointments * 3 hours/appointment = 6 hours
  Then subtract that time from the length of Andrew's workday to find how many hours he spends stamping permits: 8 hours - 6 hours = 2 hours
  Then multiply that number by the number of permits he can stamp per day to find how many permits he stamps: 50 permits/hour * 2 hours = 100 permits
