[Question]June’s class has 25 students. 60% are girls and the rest are boys. 40% of the boys like playing basketball and the rest don't. The number of girls who like playing basketball is double the number of boys who don't like to. What percentage of the girls in the class like playing basketball?
[Answer]40% of the class is boys because 100 - 60 = 40. There are 10 boys because 25x.4 = 10. 60% of the boys don't like playing basketball because 100 - 40 = 60. 6 boys don't like playing basketball because 10x.6 = 6. 12 girls like playing basketball because 6x2 = 12. There are 15 girls in the class because 25 - 10 = 15. 80% of the girls in class like playing basketball because 12 / 15 = .8. The answer is 80.
Q: An internet provider gives a 5% discount if the customer pays before the 25th day of the month. If the monthly internet rate is $50, how much did the customer pay in all for 4 months if he paid every 25th of the month?
A: The 5% discount amounts to $50 x 5 / 100 = $2.50. So the total discount given to the customer for 4 months was $2.50 x 4 = $10. The customer was supposed to pay $50 x 4 = $200 in all for 4 months without discount. Since the customer is entitled to the discount, then he only paid a total of $200 - $10 = $190 for 4 months. The answer is 190.

[Answer]The second competitor can eat 10 x 3 = 30 hotdogs per minute. The third competitor can eat 30 x 2 = 60 hot dogs per minute. Therefore, the third competitor can eat 60 x 5 = 300 hot dogs after 5 minutes. The answer is 300.
[Question]How many shirts should Shenny pack for her next vacation if she's planning to use the same shirt when departing on Monday and returning on Sunday and two different shirts each other day?
[Answer]
Between Monday and Sunday there are 7 days. If she will be using the same shirt for 2 days then she will need clothes for 7 - 2 = 5 days.

In total she will need 10 shirts between Tuesday and Saturday and 1 shirt for Monday and Sunday = 11 shirts. The answer is 11.
