Answer this question:In a truck, there are 26 pink hard hats, 15 green hard hats, and 24 yellow hard hats. If Carl takes away 4 pink hard hats, and John takes away 6 pink hard hats and twice as many green hard hats as the number of pink hard hats that he removed, then calculate the total number of hard hats that remained in the truck.
If there were 26 pink hard hats and Carl took away 4 pink hard hats, the number of pink hard hats that remained is 26 - 4 = 22. John also took away 6 pink hard hats, leaving 22 - 6 = 16 pink hard hats in the truck. If John also took twice as many green hard hats as pink hard hats, he took 2 * 6 = 12 green hard hats. The total number of green hard hats that remained in the truck is 15 - 12 = 3. In the truck, after some are taken, there were 3 green hard hats + 16 pink hard hats = 19 hard hats in the truck. Altogether, 19 green and pink hard hats + 24 yellow hards hats = 43 hard hats remained in the truck.
The answer is 43.

The ping pong balls cost 10000 * .10 = $1000. So the discount is 1000 * .30 = $300. So he pays 1000 - 300 = $700.
The answer is 700.
