Q: The ratio of coins that Elsa has to that which Amalie has is 10:45. If the total number of coins they have is 440, and Amalie spends 3/4 of what she has on toys, how many will she remain with?
A: The total ratio of the coins they both have is 10 + 45 = 55. The fraction of the ratio representing the number of coins that Amalie has is 45 / 55, and since the total number of coins they both have is 440, Amalie has 45 / 55 * 440 = 360 coins. When Amalie spends 3 / 4 of what she has, she parts with 3 / 4 * 360 = 270 coins. She still has 360 coins - 270 coins = 90 coins. The answer is 90.

[Answer]She spent 4 x $1.5 = $6 for the four bell peppers. She spent 2 x $3 = $6 for the 2 pounds of meat. So, Pauline spent $5 + $6 + $6 = $17 in all. The answer is 17.
Q: In the city, there is a block of flats. This block has 12 floors. Half of the floors have 6 apartments and the other half have 5 apartments. One apartment can accommodate a maximum of 4 residents. What is the maximum number of residents that can live in this block of flats?
A: Half of the floors have different numbers of apartments. Half the number of floors is 12 floors / 2 = 6 floors. One half of the block consists of 6 floors * 6 apartments / floor = 36 apartments. And the other half consists of 6 floors * 5 apartments / floor = 30 apartments. There are 30 + 36 = 66 apartments on all floors in the block. All the apartments can therefore accommodate 66 apartments * 4 residents / apartment = 264 residents. The answer is 264.
Question: Ariella has $200 more in her son's saving account than Daniella has in her son's savings account. Ariella's account earns her simple interest at the rate of 10% per annum. If Daniella has $400, how much money will Arialla have after two years?
Answer: If Ariella has $200 more in her son's saving account than Daniella has, then she has $400 + $200 = $600. If she earns an interest of 10% in the first year, her savings account increases by 10 / 100 * $600 = $60. In the second year, she earns the same amount of interest, which $60 + $60 = $120. The total amount of money in Ariella's account after two years is $600 + $120 = $720. The answer is 720.
Q: It cost 50 dollars to get cats ready for adoption, 100 dollars to get adult dogs ready for adoption, and 150 to get puppies ready for adoption. If 2 cats, 3 adult dogs, and 2 puppies are adopted what was the cost to get them ready?
A:
The cost to get the cats ready is 2 * 50 = $100. The cost to get adult dogs ready is 3 * 100 = $300. The cost to get puppies ready is 2 * 150 = $300. The total cost is 300 + 300 + 100 = $700. The answer is 700.
