[Question]Carla has 6 sunflowers and 8 dandelions. The sunflowers have 9 seeds per plant and the dandelions have 12 seeds per plant. What percentage of Carla's seeds come from the dandelions?
[Answer]First calculate the number of seeds from the sunflowers by multiplying the number of sunflowers by the number of seeds per sunflower: 6 sunflowers * 9 seeds / sunflower = 54 seeds. Next calculate the number of seeds from the dandelions by multiplying the number of dandelions by the number of seeds per dandelion: 8 dandelions * 12 seeds / dandelion = 96 seeds. Now add the number of seeds from each group of plants to find the total number of seeds: 54 seeds + 96 seeds = 150 seeds. Now divide the number of dandelion seeds by the total number of seeds and multiply the answer by 100 to find the percentage of seeds that come from the dandelions: 96 seeds / 150 seeds * 100% = 64%. The answer is 64.
Q: Cappuccinos cost $2, iced teas cost $3, cafe lattes cost $1.5 and espressos cost $1 each. Sandy orders some drinks for herself and some friends. She orders three cappuccinos, two iced teas, two cafe lattes, and two espressos. How much change does she receive back for a twenty-dollar bill?
A: Find the total cost of the cappuccinos by multiplying the price by the quantity: 3 cappuccinos x $2 / cappuccino = $6. Then do the same for the iced teas: 2 iced teas x $3 / tea = $6. Then do the same for the cafe lattes: 2 lattes x $1.5 / latte = $3. Then do the same for the espressos: 2 espressos x $1 = $2. In total Sandy pays $6 + $6 + $3 + $2 = $17. Sandy will receive $20 - $17 = $3 in change. The answer is 3.
Question: If olivine has 5 more precious stones than agate and diamond has 11 more precious stones than olivine, how many precious stones do they have together if agate has 30 precious stones?
Answer: Since Agate has 30 precious stones and Olivine has 5 more precious stones, then Olivine has 30 + 5 = 35 precious stones. The total number of stones Olivine and Agate has is 35 + 30 = 65. Diamond has 11 more precious stones than Olivine, who has 35 stones, meaning Diamond has 35 + 11 = 46 precious stones. In total, they all have 65 + 46 = 111 precious stones. The answer is 111.

Question: An old pirate wants to leave his treasure on an island. He has 3500 gold coins. He wants to spread this equally across 5 chests. Additionally, he will put a total of 500 silver coins and twice as many bronze coins as silver, all distributed equally across the chests. How many coins in total will be in each chest?
Answer:
There will be 3500 gold coins / 5 chest = 700 gold coins in every chest. So, there will be 500 silver coins / 5 chests = 100 silver coins in each chest. Then, the number of bronze coins is double the number of silver coins, so there are 2 * 500 = 1000 bronze coins. So there will be 1000 bronze coins / 5 chests = 200 bronze coins in each chest. Finally, the total number of coins in every chest will be 700 gold coins + 100 silver coins + 200 bronze coins = 1000 coins. The answer is 1000.
