Q: Kaiden is collecting cans of soup for the local soup kitchen. He collects 158 cans during his first week and 259 during the second week. If his goal is to collect 500 cans how many more cans of soup does he need to collect?
A: Kaiden collects 158 cans his first week and 259 cans during the second week. 158 + 259 = 417 cans of soup. Kaiden wants to collect a total of 500 cans, so he still needs 500 - 417 = 83 cans of soup. The answer is 83.
Question: Marnie makes bead bracelets. She bought 5 bags of 50 beads and 2 bags of 100 beads. If 50 beads are used to make one bracelet, how many bracelets will Marnie be able to make out of the beads she bought?
Answer: Marnie bought 50 x 5 = 250 beads from the 5 bags of 50 beads. She also bought 100 x 2 = 200 beads from the 2 bags of 100 beads. She has a total of 250 + 200 = 450 beads. Hence, she will be able to make 450 / 50 = 9 bracelets. The answer is 9.

[Answer]The proportion of graphic novels is .15 because 18 / 120 = .15. The percentage of graphic novels is 15 because 100 x .15 = 15. The percentage of comic books is 20 because 100 - 65 - 15 = 20. The answer is 20.
Q: Village Foods sells good food at a fair price. Their specialty is fresh vegetables. If they get 500 customers per month, and each customer purchases 2 heads of lettuce for $1 each and 4 tomatoes for $0.5 apiece, then how much money, in dollars, will the store receive in sales of lettuce and tomatoes per month?
A: 2 heads of lettuce at $1 apiece is 2 * $1 = $2. 4 tomatoes at $0.50 apiece is 4 * $0.5 = $2. Thus, each customer purchases $2 + $2 = $4 in lettuce and tomatoes per month. Therefore, if 500 customers per month spend $4 on lettuce and tomatoes, then the store will receive $4 * 500 = $2000 per month on sales of lettuce and tomatoes. The answer is 2000.
Question: At a certain school, 2/3 of the population are females. One-tenth of the males are foreign students. If the school has 300 students, how many students are non-foreign male students?
Answer: There are 300 x 2 / 3 = 200 females in the school. So, 300 - 200 = 100 are males. Out of the 100 males, 100 x 1 / 10 = 10 are male foreign students. Thus, there are 100 - 10 = 90 non - foreign male students. The answer is 90.
