Question: Janet has 24 dresses. Half of them have pockets. Of those, a third have 2 pockets and the rest have 3 pockets. How many total pockets do her dresses have?
Answer: She has 24 / 2 = 12 dresses with pockets. Of those 12 / 3 = 4 have 2 pockets. So 12 - 4 = 8 have three pockets. So the dresses with 2 pockets have 2 * 4 = 8 pockets. The other dresses contribute 8 * 3 = 24 pockets. So she has a total of 8 + 24 = 32 pockets. The answer is 32.

[Question]Juanita goes through 1 bottle of sunscreen a month. She likes to stock up for the entire year when a certain website offers 30% off her entire purchase. If each bottle is $30.00 how much will all of the sunscreen cost after the discount?
[Answer]
She goes through 1 bottle a month and she likes to stock up for the entire year, which is 12 months so she needs 1 * 12 = 12 bottles. Each bottle is $30.00 and she needs 12 bottles so they will cost 30 * 12 = $360.00. The website offers a 30% discount off of her $360.00 purchase so the discount will be .30 * 360 = $108.00. Her sunscreen costs $360.00 and her discount is 108.00 making her purchase total 360 - 108 = $252.00. The answer is 252.
