Answer this question:Louise is organizing her pencils, and decides she wants her boxes arranged by color. Each box holds 20 pencils each. She has 20 red pencils, twice as many blue pencils, 40 yellow pencils, and has as many green pencils as she has red and blue pencils combined. How many boxes does Louise need?
Louise has 20 red pencils * 2 = 40 blue pencils. She therefore has 20 red pencils + 40 blue pencils = 60 green pencils. In total, she has 20 red pencils + 40 blue pencils + 60 green pencils + 40 yellow pencils = 160 pencils. As each box holds 20 pencils, she needs 160 pencils / 20 pencils / box = 8 boxes.
The answer is 8.

The subscription sends twice monthly issues, so there are 2 * 18 = 36 issues. Thus, the promotional offer is 36 * 0.25 = $9 cheaper than the normal subscription.

Answer this question:There are 30 spaces for each vehicle in a parking lot. A caravan takes up a total of 2 spaces of parking space. How many vehicles can still park if there are 3 caravans currently parking?

Answer this question:Belinda’s dog is missing, so she made 200 flyers to distribute around town with the help of her friends. Ryan passed out 42 flyers, Alyssa passed out 67, Scott passed out 51 and Belinda passed out the rest. What percentage of the flyers did Belinda pass out?
The total number of flyers Belinda’s friends passed out was 42 by Ryan + 67 by Alyssa + 51 by Scott = 160 flyers. Belinda passed out 200 total flyers – 160 flyers passed out by friends = 40 flyers. To express this as a decimal, divide Belinda’s 40 flyers / 200 total flyers = 0.20. Belinda passed out 0.20 x 100% = 20% of the flyers.
The answer is 20.
