[Question]Lucille made an agreement with her mom that she would earn six cents for every weed she pulled in her mom's garden. There are eleven weeds in the flower bed, fourteen in the vegetable patch, and thirty-two in the grass around the fruit trees. Lucille weeded the flower bed, the vegetable patch, and half the grass before she took a break. She bought a soda for 99 cents on her break with some of her earnings. How many cents does Lucille have left?
[Answer]Lucille weeded half the grass, so she pulled 32 / 2 = 16 weeds around the fruit frees. She pulled 11 + 14 + 16 = 41 weeds before her break. From that, she earned 41 * 6 = 246 cents. After buying her soda, Lucille has 246 - 99 = 147 cents left. The answer is 147.
Q: Nikka has a 100 stamp collection. Thirty-five percent of her stamps are Chinese, 20% are US stamps, and the rest are Japanese stamps. How many Japanese stamps does Nikka have?
A: Nikka has 100 x 35 / 100 = 35 Chinese stamps. She has 100 x 20 / 100 = 20 US stamps. So, Nikka has 35 + 20 = 55 stamps that are not Japanese. Thus, Nikka has 100 - 55 = 45 Japanese stamps. The answer is 45.
Question: Lucas wants to get a dog but his parents think he already has too many pets and won't have enough space. He already has 12 pet beds in his room but manages to fit another 8 pet beds. His parents argue that each pet is going to need 2 beds each to feel comfortable. According to his parent's argument, how many pets does Lucas have enough room for?
Answer: Lucas has a total of 12 existing pet beds + 8 new pet beds = 20 pet beds. So according to his parents, Lucas has enough room for 20 pet beds / 2 pet beds per pet = 10 pets. The answer is 10.

Q: The ratio representing the age of Halima, Beckham, and Michelle is 4:3:7, respectively. If the total age for the three siblings is 126, calculate the age difference between Halima and Beckham.
A: The total ratio representing the age of the three siblings is 4 + 3 + 7 = 14. Halima's age is represented by the fraction 4 / 14, which means she is 4 / 14 * 126 = 36 years old. Beckhams age, from the total age of the three, is 3 / 14 * 126 = 27. The difference in age between Halima and Beckham is 36 - 27 = 9. The answer is 9.
