Question: Hans reserved a table at a fine dining restaurant for twelve people. He has to pay a deposit for the reservation, and the deposit is a flat $20 plus an extra $3 per adult but only $1 per child. Two of the people in Hans’s party are his kid cousins, and the rest are adults. How many dollars does Hans have to pay as a deposit for the restaurant reservation?

[Question]A mother buys a box of sweets. She kept 1/3 of the sweets and divided the rest between her 3 children. The eldest got 8 sweets while the youngest got half as many. If there are 27 pieces of sweets in the box, how many sweets did the second child gets?
[Answer]The mother kept 27 x 1 / 3 = 9 pieces of sweets. So there were 27 - 9 = 18 sweets that were divided between the 3 children. The youngest child got 8 / 2 = 4 sweets. So the eldest and the youngest got a total of 8 + 4 = 12 sweets. Therefore, the second child gets 18 - 12 = 6 sweets. The answer is 6.
