Answer the following question.
Peggy buys 3 folders, one each in the colors red, green, and blue. She puts ten sheets of paper in each folder, and then, she puts star-shaped stickers on each sheet of paper. In the red folder, each sheet of paper gets 3 stickers. In the green folder, each sheet of paper gets 2 stickers, and in the blue folder, each sheet gets 1 sticker. What is the total number of stickers Peggy uses?
Step-by-step reasoning process: For the red folder, 10 sheets of paper get 3 stickers each, for a total of 10 * 3 = 30 stickers. For the green folder, 10 sheets of paper get 2 stickers each, for a total of 10 * 2 = 20 stickers. For the blue folder, 10 sheets of paper get 1 sticker each, for a total of 10 * 1 = 10 stickers. In total, she uses 30 + 20 + 10 = 60 stickers.
The answer is 60.

Answer the following question.
A nail salon was completely booked at 2 pm for manicures. Each manicure costs $20.00 per client so the salon made $200.00. If there are 210 fingers in the salon at 2 pm, and everyone has 10 fingers, how many people in the salon are not clients?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The salon made $200.00 and they charge $20.00 per client so there are 200 / 20 = 10 clients in the salon. There are 210 fingers in the salon and everyone has 10 fingers so there are 210 / 10 = 21 people in the salon. If there are 21 people in the salon and 10 are clients then there are 21 - 10 = 11 people in the salon that are not clients.
The answer is 11.
