Question: Kim plants 80 cherry pits. 25% of them sprout and Kim sells 6 of the saplings. How many cherry saplings does she have left?
Answer: First find the number of saplings that sprout: 80 pits * 25% = 20 saplings. Then subtract the number she sold to find the number she has left: 20 saplings - 6 saplings = 14 saplings. The answer is 14.
[Question]Angela has a collection of 24 pieces of rare action figures. She sold off a quarter of them at the pawnshop and gave one-third of the remainder to her daughter. How many does she have left?
[Answer]One - quarter of 24 action figures is 24 * (1 / 4) = 6. She sold off 6 action figures so she has 24 - 6 = 18 left. One - third of 18 is 18 * (1 / 3) = 6. She gave out 6 so she has 18 - 6 = 12 left. The answer is 12.
Q: Jason drives past 3 convenience stores on his way to work. The distance between the first store and the second store is 6 miles. The distance between the second store and third store is 2/3rds longer than the distance between the first two stores. The distance from his house to the first store and the last store to work is the same, 4 miles. How long in miles is Jason's commute to work?
A: First find the additional distance between the second store and the third store: 6 miles * 2 / 3 = 4 miles. Then add that to the distance between the first two stores to find the total distance between the second and third stores: 4 miles + 6 miles = 10 miles. Then add the distance between the first two stores, the distance from Jason's house to the first store, and the distance from the last store to work: 10 miles + 6 miles + 4 miles + 4 miles = 24 miles. The answer is 24.

Answer: She needs a set of sheers that cost $40.00 and a set of drapes that cost $60.00 per window so that will cost her 40 + 60 = $100.00. She had 3 windows she needs window treatments for they cost her $100.00 each so 3 * 100 = $300.00. The answer is 300.
[Question]In one day, 200 people visit The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Half of the visitors are residents of New York City. Of the NYC residents, 30% are college students. If the cost of a college student ticket is $4, how much money does the museum get from college students that are residents of NYC?
[Answer]The number of visitors that are residents of NYC is 200 / 2 = 100 visitors. The number of NYC resident visitors that are college students is 100 * 0.30 = 30 visitors. The money from the college students that are residents of NYC is 30 * $4 = $120. The answer is 120.

The cookies cost 3 x .5 = 1.5. The hamburgers cost $7.3 because 2 x 3.65 = 7.3. The total cost is $16 because 7.3 + 2 + 1 + 4 + 1.5 + .2 = 16. The cost is $8 per person because 16 / 2 = 8. Toby has $7 in change because 15 - 8 = 7. The answer is 7.
