Answer this question:The price of a math textbook in the school bookshop is $45. If those sold in bookshops outside the school cost 20% less, how much can Peter save by buying from other bookshops rather than the school's if he wants to buy 3 math textbooks?
20% of $45 is (20 / 100) * $45 = $9. The price of the textbook in other bookshops cost $9 less than $45 which is $45 - $9 = $36. Three textbooks from the school bookshop would cost $45 * 3 = $135. Three textbooks from another bookshop would cost $36 * 3 = $108. Peter can save $135 - $108 = $27 by buying from another bookshop.
The answer is 27.

Answer this question:If it takes 10 people 10 days to shovel 10,000 pounds of coal, how many days will it take half of these ten people to shovel 40,000 pounds of coal?
The 10 people shovel 10,000 pounds per 10 days, or 10,000 / 10 = 1000 pounds per day per 10 people. And 1000 pounds per day per 10 people is 1000 / 10 = 100 pounds per day per person. Half of ten people is 10 / 2 = 5 people. At 100 pounds per day per person, 5 people can shovel 5 * 100 = 500 pounds per day. Therefore, for 5 people to shovel 40,000 pounds, it will take 40,000 / 500 = 80 days.
The answer is 80.

Answer this question:Raj's house has an area equal to 1,110 square feet. It has 4 bedrooms that each measure 11 x 11 feet. There are 2 bathrooms that are 6 x 8 feet each. The kitchen and living area complete the home and they have the same sized area. How many square feet is the area of the kitchen?
Area of 1 bedroom = 11 * 11 = 121 square feet. Area of 4 bedrooms = 121 * 4 = 484 square feet. Area of 1 bathroom = 6 * 8 = 48 square feet. Area of 2 bathrooms = 2 * 48 = 96 square feet. Area of all bedrooms and bathrooms = 484 + 96 = 580 square feet. Kitchen + living room = 1,110 - 580 = 530. Kitchen = 530 / 2 = 265. The kitchen is 265 square feet.
The answer is 265.

Doubling 4 bones gives her 4 * 2 = 8 bones. The neighbor's dog steals two bones, leaving 8 - 2 = 6 bones.
The answer is 6.
