[Question]Holly gets 26 paychecks per year. If she puts $100.00 from every paycheck into her 401K, her company will match that contribution by 6%. How much money has she and her company contributed to her 401k after 1 year?
[Answer]She puts $100.00 into her 401k from every paycheck and she gets 26 paychecks so that’s 100 * 26 = $2,600.00. Her company matches her $100.00 by 6% so they contribute 100 * .06 = $6.00 every paycheck. Over a year, the company contributes $6.00 to her 401k with every paycheck so they contribute 6 * 26 = $156.00. Holly puts $2,600.00 into her 401k annually and her company contributes $156.00 annually so she has 2600 + 156 = $2,756 in her 401k. The answer is 2756.
Q: It takes 50 large jelly beans to fill up a large drinking glass. It takes half that amount to fill up a small drinking glass. If there are 5 large drinking glasses and 3 small ones, how many jellybeans will it take to fill them up?
A: A small drinking glass takes half the amount of a large glass that needs 50 so it will take 50 / 2 = 25 jellybeans. 5 large glasses need to be filled so they will take 5 * 50 = 250 jelly beans. There are 3 small glasses that need to be filled so they will take 3 * 25 = 75 jelly beans. All total, to fill all the glasses it will take 250 + 75 = 325 jellybeans. The answer is 325.

[Question]Exactly two-fifths of NBA players who signed up for a test are aged between 25 and 35 years. If three-eighths of them are older than 35, and a total of 1000 players signed up, how many players are younger than 25 years?
[Answer]Two - fifths of 1000 players is (2 / 5) * 1000 = 400 players. Three eights of 1000 players is (3 / 8) * 1000 = 375 players. The total number of players 25 or older is 400 + 375 = 775. The number of players younger than 25 years is 1000 - 775 = 225 players. The answer is 225.
