Step-by-step reasoning process: Robert earned a commission of $23600 x 10 / 100 = $2360. So, he earned a total of $1250 + $2360 = $3610. And, he saved $3610 x 20 / 100 = $722. Therefore, his total expenses last month was $3610 - $722 = $2888.
[Q & A] The question is Robert, a sales agent, earns a basic salary of $1250 per month and, 10% commission on his monthly sales. Last month, his total sales were $23600. He allocated 20% of his total earnings to savings and the rest of the money to his monthly expenses. How much were his monthly expenses last month?
The answer is 2888

Step-by-step reasoning process: Half of Tanya's 20 erasers are red, so she has 20 / 2 = 10 red erasers. One - half as many erasers as Tanya has red erasers is 10 / 2 = 5 red erasers. Rachel's three less than one - half as many erasers as Tanya's red erasers, which is 5 - 3 = 2 erasers. Hanna has twice as many erasers as Rachel, for a total of 2 * 2 = 4 erasers.
[Q & A] The question is Hanna has twice as many erasers as Rachel. Rachel has three less than one-half as many erasers as Tanya has red erasers. If Tanya has 20 erasers, and half of them are red, how many erasers does Hanna have?
The answer is 4
