Reasoning and answer: Let x be the price of the chair. The table costs 3 * x. The couch costs 3 * x * 5 = 15 * x. x + 3 * x + 15 * x = 380. 19 * x = 380. x = 20. The couch costs 20 * 15 = 300 dollars.
The answer: 300

The family spent $15 on ice cream because 5 x 3 = 15. They total amount of change they had was $15.48 because 15 + .48 = 15.48. They have $1.23 in pennies because 123 x .01 = 1.23. They have $4.25 in nickels because 85 x .05 = 4.25. They have $3.50 in dimes because 35 x .1 = 3.5. Without the quarters they have a total of $8.98 because 1.23 + 4.25 + 3.5 = 8.98. They have $6.5 worth of quarters because 15.48 - 8.98 = 6.5. They have 26 quarters because 6.5 / .25 = 26.
The answer: 26

Reasoning and answer: First find the total number of blue - eyed kittens: 3 kittens + 4 kittens = 7 kittens. Then find the total number of brown - eyed kittens: 7 kittens + 6 kittens = 13 kittens. Then add the number of each type of kitten to find the total number of kittens: 7 kittens + 13 kittens = 20 kittens. Then divide the number of blue - eyed kittens by the total number of kittens and multiply by 100% to express the answer as a percentage: 7 kittens / 20 kittens * 100% = 35%.
The answer: 35
