Q: The square footage of the two bedrooms in the apartment that Jenny and Martha share totals 300 square feet. If Jenny's bedroom is 60 square feet larger than Martha's, how large, in square feet, is Martha's bedroom?
A: Let M be the number of square feet in Matha's bedroom. Jenny's bedroom is M + 60 square feet. M + M + 60 = 300. 2M + 60 = 300. 2M = 240. M = 120. Martha's bedroom is 120 square feet. The answer is 120.
Question: When Suzy the librarian sat at her desk on Wednesday morning, she had 98 books ready for checkout. The same day, 43 books were checked out. The following day, 23 books were returned, but 5 books were checked out. On Friday, 7 books were returned. How many books did Suzy have?
Answer: When 43 books were checked out on Wednesday, Suzy remained with 98 - 43 = 55 books. After 23 books were returned on Thursday, she ended with 55 + 23 = 78 books. However, 5 books were checked out on the same day meaning that 78 - 5 = 73 books were left. After 7 books were returned on Friday, Suzy had 73 + 7 = 80 books. The answer is 80.
[Question]Jean needs to buy 10 new pairs of pants. A store is running a sale for 20% off. If the pants normally retail for $45 each how much will she need to pay for all of them after paying a 10% tax?
[Answer]The discount is 45 * .2 = $9 off each pair. So she pays 45 - 9 = $36 each. So it will cost 36 * 10 = $360 before tax. The tax will add 360 * .1 = $36. So she has to pay 360 + 36 = $396. The answer is 396.

300 x 5 / 100 = 15 senior students got a full merit scholarship. 300 x 10 / 100 = 30 senior students got a half merit scholarship. So, a total of 15 + 30 = 45 students got scholarships. Therefore, 300 - 45 = 255 senior students did not get any scholarships. The answer is 255.
