Q: June's mom promises to pay her 1 cent for every cloverleaf she picks from the lawn. June picks 200 clovers in total. 75% have 3 petals. 24% have two petals and 1% have four petals. How many cents does June earn?
A: There are 150 clovers with 3 leaves because 200 times .75 equals 150. There are 48 clovers with 2 leaves because 200 times .24 equals 48. There are 2 clovers with 4 leaves because 200 times .01 equals 2. The four - leaf clovers are worth 450 cents because 150 times 3 equals 450. The two leafed clovers are worth 96 cents because 48 times two equals 96. The four - leaf clovers are worth 8 cents because 4 times 2 equals 8. The clovers are worth 554 cents because 450 plus 96 plus 8 equals 554. The answer is 554.

[Question]There are 100 people in a theater. If 19 of these people have blue eyes, half of them have brown eyes, a quarter have black eyes, and the rest have green eyes, how many of them have green eyes?
[Answer]100 / 2 = 50 people in the theater have brown eyes. 100 / 4 = 25 people in the theater have black eyes. There are 50 + 25 + 19 = 94 people in the theater with either brown, black, or blue eyes. There are 100 - 94 = 6 people in the theater with green eyes. The answer is 6.
Q: Four cats live in the old grey house at the end of the road. Their names are Puffy, Scruffy, Buffy, and Juniper. Puffy has three times more whiskers than Juniper, but half as many as Scruffy. Buffy has the same number of whiskers as the average number of whiskers on the three other cats. If Juniper has 12 whiskers. how many whiskers does Buffy have?
A: If Juniper has 12 whiskers, then Puffy has 3 * 12 = 36 whiskers. Since Puffy has half as many whiskers and Scruffy, then Scruffy has 36 * 2 = 72 whiskers. Since the number of whiskers on Buffy is the average between 12, 36, and 72 whiskers, then he has (12 + 36 + 72) / 3 = 40 whiskers. The answer is 40.
Question: Out of 480 employees, 10% got a salary increase while 20% got a travel allowance increase. How many employees did not get any increase?
