Christine makes money by commission rate. She gets a 12% commission on all items she sells. This month, she sold $24000 worth of items. Sixty percent of all her earning will be allocated to her personal needs and the rest will be saved. How much did she save this month?
Let's think: This month, Christine earned a commission of 12 / 100 x $24000 = $2880. She allocated 60 / 100 x $2880 = $1728 on her personal needs. Therefore, she saved $2880 - $1728 = $1152 this month.. The answer is: 1152.

Anthony and his friend Leonel read about the importance of keeping pets at home and decided to start adopting cats and dogs from the local rescue center. Anthony has 12 cats and dogs, 2/3 of which are cats. Leonel has half times as many cats as Anthony and seven more dogs than Anthony. How many animals in total do the two have?
Let's think: If Anthony has 12 pets, the number of cats is 2 / 3 * 12 pets = 8 cats. The number of dogs that Anthony have is 12 pets - 8 cats = 4 dogs. Leonel has 1 / 2 * 8 cats = 4 cats. If Leonel has seven more dogs than Anthony, then he has 4 dogs + 7 dogs = 11 dogs. The total number of pets the two have is 11 dogs for Leonel + 4 cats for Leonel + 4 dogs for Anthony + 8 cats for Anthony = 27.. The answer is: 27.

A garden is filled with 105 flowers of various colors. There are twice as many red flowers as orange. There are five fewer yellow flowers than red. If there are 10 orange flowers, how many pink and purple flowers are there if they have the same amount and there are no other colors?
Let's think: The number of red flowers is twice as many as orange so 2 * 10 orange = 20 red flowers. The number of yellow flowers is 5 less than red so 20 red - 5 = 15 yellow flowers. The number of red, orange and yellow flowers is 20 red + 10 orange + 15 yellow = 45 flowers. The number of pink and purple flowers total is 105 flowers total - 45 flowers that are not pink or purple = 60 flowers. The number of pink and purple flowers each is 60 flowers / 2 = 30 flowers each.. The answer is: 30.

He produces music for 3 * 12 = 36 months. That means he comes out with 36 * 3 = 108 songs in that time. That means he made 108 * 2000 = $216,000.. The answer is: 216000.
