Q: Simeon drinks 64 fluid ounces of filtered water every day. He used to drink this water in 8-ounce-servings. But now, he drinks his water in 16-ounce servings. How many fewer servings per day does it now take Simeon to drink his water than it used to?
A: 4
Step-by-step reasoning process: In 64 fluid ounces, there are 64 / 8 = 8 eight - ounce servings. Using 16 - ounce servings, Simeon now drinks 64 ounces in 64 / 16 = 4 servings. Thus, Simeon now drinks his water in 8 - 4 = 4 fewer servings per day.


Q: Marcus wants to buy a new pair of shoes. He decided to pay not more than $130 for them. He found a pair for $120, on which he got a discount of 30%. How much money will he manage to save by buying these shoes and not spending the assumed maximum amount?
A: 46
Step-by-step reasoning process: The discount on the shoes Marcus found is 120 * 30 / 100 = $36. That means he only had to pay 120 - 36 = $84. So Marcus was able to save 130 - 84 = $46.

Step-by-step reasoning process: First we need to know what half of Bills toys are, 60 toys / 2 = 30 toys. Hash has 9 toys + 30 toys = 39 toys. Together the boys have 60 toys + 39 toys = 99 toys.
