Q: 20% of the job candidates at a temp agency have experience with Excel. 70% of the candidates are only willing to work day shifts. If a manager picks a candidate at random, what are the odds they know Excel and are willing to work nights?
A: First find the percentage of candidates who are willing to work nights: 100% - 70% = 30%. Then multiply that percentage by the percentage who know Excel to find the percentage who meet both qualifications: 30% * 20% = 6%. The answer is 6.

[Question]Cristina, John, Clarissa and Sarah want to give their mother a photo album for her birthday. Cristina brings 7 photos, John brings 10 photos and Sarah brings 9 photos. If the photo album has 40 slots available, how many photos does Clarissa need to bring in order to complete the photo album?

Q: John and Yasmin's dad is named Gabriel. If John has twice the number of children that her sister has and Gabriel has six grandkids, how many children does Yasmin have?
A: We don't know Yasmin's number of children yet, but let's represent it as Y. If John has twice the number of children Yasmin has, then John has 2 * Y = 2Y kids. If Gabriel has 6 grandkids between John's and Yasmin's children, then we can represent this as 6 = 2Y + Y. If we solve the latest equation then we learn that 6 = 3Y. Given that Y represents how many kids Yasmin has, then solving for Y we know that Y = 6 / 3 or Y = 2 kids. The answer is 2.
Question: Alice made 52 friendship bracelets over spring break to sell at school. It only cost her $3.00 in materials to make these bracelets. During the break, she gave 8 of her bracelets away. Back at school, she sells all of the remaining bracelets at $0.25 each. How much profit did she make (money earned after paying initial costs) on the sale of her bracelets?
Answer: She made 52 bracelets but gave 8 away so she had 50 - 8 = 44 bracelets left. She sold 44 bracelets at $0.25 each for a total of 44 * .25 = $11.00. She made $11.00 but she spent $3.00 on the supplies. So her profit would be 11 - 3 = $8.00. The answer is 8.
