prompt: Steve wanted to make a total of $100 within four days, so he took on a berry-picking job in Sweden. The job paid $2 for every pound of lingonberries picked. On Monday he picked 8 pounds. Tuesday’s harvest was triple what he had picked the previous day. On Wednesday he felt very tired and decided to rest. How many pounds of lingonberries did Steve have to pick on Thursday?

messages.content: On Monday, Steve was paid 8 * 2 = <<8*2=16>>16 dollars
  Tuesday’s harvest was 3 * 8 = <<3*8=24>>24 pounds
  The 24 pounds Steve picked on Tuesday gave him 24 * 2 = <<24*2=48>>48 dollars
  So, the amount Steve earned from the first two days on the job is 16 +48 = <<16+48=64>>64 dollars
  Since Steve rested on Wednesday, he made 0 dollars, meaning his earnings were 64 + 0 = <<64+0=64>>64 dollars
  The difference between Steve’s earnings and his target is 100 - 64 = <<100-64=36>>36 dollars
  Since he was paid 2 dollars for each pound of lingonberries, Steve needed to pick 36/2 = <<36/2=18>>18 pounds
