Answer this question:Alex makes luxury dresses out of silk. Each dress needs 5 meters of silk and Alex has 600 meters of silk in storage. His friends also want to learn how to make these dresses so Alex gives all 5 of them 20 meters of silk each. He uses the rest to make dresses himself. How many dresses can Alex make?
Alex gives his friends a total of 5 friends * 20 meters of silk = 100 meters of silk. This means he has 600 – 100 = 500 meters of silk left in storage. He can therefore make 500 meters of silk / 5 meters of silk per dress = 100 dresses.
The answer is 100.

Answer this question:Two puppies, two kittens, and three parakeets were for sale at the pet shop. The puppies were three times more expensive than the parakeets, and the parakeets were half as expensive as the kittens. If the cost of one parakeet was $10, what would it cost to purchase all of the pets for sale at the pet shop, in dollars?
Puppies cost three times more than parakeets, or 3 * $10 = $30 per puppy. Parakeets were half as expensive as the kittens, or 2 * $10 = $20 per kitten. Two puppies cost 2 * $30 = $60. Two kittens cost 2 * $20 = $40. And three parakeets cost 3 * $10 = $30. Thus, the cost to purchase all of the pets for sale at the pet shop is $60 + $40 + $30 = $130.
The answer is 130.
