Q: A garden is filled with 105 flowers of various colors. There are twice as many red flowers as orange. There are five fewer yellow flowers than red. If there are 10 orange flowers, how many pink and purple flowers are there if they have the same amount and there are no other colors?
A: The number of red flowers is twice as many as orange so 2 * 10 orange = 20 red flowers. The number of yellow flowers is 5 less than red so 20 red - 5 = 15 yellow flowers. The number of red, orange and yellow flowers is 20 red + 10 orange + 15 yellow = 45 flowers. The number of pink and purple flowers total is 105 flowers total - 45 flowers that are not pink or purple = 60 flowers. The number of pink and purple flowers each is 60 flowers / 2 = 30 flowers each. The answer is 30.
Question: Barney washes his kitchen towels once a week. He owns eighteen towels and uses two at a time that he changes to clean towels daily. He missed one week of laundry. How many days the following week will Barney not have clean towels?
Answer: Barney uses 2 clean towels every day, so he uses 2 * 7 = 14 towels a week. He missed one week of laundry, so he would need 2 * 14 = 28 towels for 2 weeks. He owns 18 towels, so he has 28 - 18 = 10 less than he needs. Thus, Barney will not have clean towels on 10 / 2 = 5 days. The answer is 5.

Q: On Friday, Remy paid Sally’s Woodworking LLC a total of $20,700 for 150 pieces of furniture. Later that evening, the company’s accountant discovered that a new intern in the sales department had overcharged Remy. If the cost of a piece of furniture is $134, how much money will Sally’s Woodworking LLC reimburse Remy?
A: The total cost of all the pieces of furniture should be 134 * 150 = 20100 dollars. Sally’s Woodworking LLC will reimburse Remy the difference between the total cost and the amount he paid, which is 20700 - 20100 = 600 dollars. The answer is 600.

Q: Samuel has $5, $10, and $20 bills which amount to $150 in his wallet. His $10-bills amount to $50, and he has 4 $20-bills. How many bills does Samuel have in his wallet?
A:
His $20 bills amount to 4 x $20 = $80. So the total amount of the $10 and $20 bills is $80 + $50 = $130. Hence, the remaining $5 bills amount to $150 - $130 = $20. This means that there are $20 / $5 = 4 $5 bills. There are also $50 / $10 = 5 $10 bills. Therefore, Samuel has 4 + 4 + 5 = 13 bills in his wallet. The answer is 13.
