Answer this question:A state fair charges $5 for a ticket. Two-thirds of the people who buy a ticket will buy deep-fried fair food for $8, one quarter will go on a ride for $4, and one eighth will spend $15 on a souvenir. The fair made $2520 from tickets. How many dollars did they make in all?
The fair made $2520 from tickets, so they had 2520 / 5 = 504 people attend the fair. Two - thirds of those people will buy food, so 504 * 2 / 3 = 336 people will buy food. The fair will make 336 * 8 = $2688 from food. A quarter of the people will go on a ride, so 504 / 4 = 126 people will go on a ride. The fair will make 126 * 4 = $504 from rides. An eighth of the people will buy a souvenir, so 504 / 8 = 63 people will buy souvenirs. The fair will make 63 * 15 = $945 from souvenirs. In all, the fair will make 2520 + 2688 + 504 + 945 = $6657.
The answer is 6657.

Answer this question:Rose had 10 kilograms of rice. She cooked 9/10 kilograms in the morning and 1/4 of the remaining in the evening. How many grams of rice did she have left?
Rose cooked 10 x 9 / 10 = 9 kilograms of rice in the morning. She had 10 - 9 = 1 kilogram of rice left then. One kilogram is equal to 1 x 1000 = 1000 grams. So, Rose cooked 1000 x 1 / 4 = 250 grams of rice in the evening. Therefore, she has 1000 - 250 = 750 grams of rice left.
The answer is 750.

She orders 2 quiches for $15.00 each so they cost 2 * 15 = $30.00. She orders 6 croissants at $3.00 each so they cost 6 * 2.5 = $18.00. She orders 6 biscuits at $2.00 each so they cost 6 * 2 = $12.00. Her advance order is 30 + 18 + 12 = $60.00. Her advance order is over $50.00 so she can get 10% off so .10 * 60 = $6.00. Her order is $60.00 and she gets $6.00 off so her advanced order will cost 60 - 6 = $54.00.
The answer is 54.
