Question: Tom got 40 oranges and 70 apples. If he sold 1/4 of the oranges and 1/2 of the apples. How many fruits were left in total?
Answer: There are 40 + 70 = 110 oranges and apples altogether . He sold 40 x .25 = 10 pieces of oranges. He sold 70 x .50 = 35 pieces of apples. So, Tom was left with 110 - 10 - 35 = 65 pieces. The answer is 65.

Question: Keaton climbed a 30 feet ladder twenty times while working at the construction site. Reece, also working at the same site, climbed a ladder 4 feet shorter than Keaton's ladder 15 times. What's the total length of the ladders that both workers climbed in inches?
Answer: If Keaton climbed his ladder twenty times, he covered a length of 30 * 20 = 600 feet. Reece's ladder, 4 feet shorter than Keaton's ladder, was 30 - 4 = 26 feet long. If Reece climbed the ladder 15 times, he covered a length of 15 * 26 = 390 feet. Keaton and Reece's total length covered while climbing the ladders is 390 + 600 = 990 feet. Since one foot is equal to 12 inches, the total length they climbed the ladders in inches is 12 * 990 = 11880 inches. The answer is 11880.

Question: Jackie's favorite cosmetic company was offering free shipping when you spent $50.00. Jackie ordered her favorite shampoo and conditioner that each cost $10.00 a bottle and 3 bottles of lotion that cost $6.00 each. How much more money does Jackie need to spend to be eligible for free shipping?
Answer: The shampoo and conditioner cost $10 each so 2 * $10 = $20.00. 3 bottles of lotion cost $6.00 each so 3 * $6 = $18.00. So far she has spent $20 + $18 = $38.00. You need to spend $50.00 for free shipping and she has spent $38.00 already so she needs to buy $50 - $38 = $12.00 more in products. The answer is 12.

Question: Adam earns $40 daily in his job. 10% of his money is deducted as taxes. How much money will Adam have earned after taxes after 30 days of work?

The amount of money deducted from Adam's daily pay is $40 / 10 = $4. So after deducting 10%, Adam’s daily pay is $40 – $4 = $36. This means that in 30 days he earns $36 * 30 = $1080. The answer is 1080.
