Answer this question:Tony, Moses and Esther are to share $50. Moses will take 40% of the total amount while Tony and Esther will split the remainder equally among themselves. How much more than Esther will Moses get?
40% of $50 is (40 / 100) * $50 = $20. After Moses takes $20, there will be $50 - $20 = $30 left. Tony and Esther will split $30 equally among themselves so each of them will get $30 / 2 = $15. Moses gets $20 - $15 = $5 more than Esther.
The answer is 5.

Answer this question:Mr. Dubois buys a new car for $13,380. He pays $5,400 and pays the rest by giving $420 a month. In how many months will the car be fully paid for?
Dubois has to pay $13,380 – $5,400 = $7,980 more. He will pay that in $7,980 : $420 = 19 months.
The answer is 19.

Answer this question:Two hedgehogs found three baskets, each with 900 strawberries. The hedgehogs then each ate an equal number of strawberries. If 2/9 of the strawberries were remaining out of all the strawberries that were there, calculate the total number of strawberries that each hedgehog ate.
The total number of strawberries in the three baskets is 3 * 900 = 2700. If 2 / 9 of the strawberries were remaining out of all the strawberries after the hedgehogs ate some, there were 2 / 9 * 2700 = 600 strawberries remaining. The total number of strawberries that the two hedgehogs ate is 2700 - 600 = 2100 strawberries. If the hedgehogs ate an equal number of strawberries, each ate 2100 / 2 = 1050 strawberries.
The answer is 1050.

Answer this question:Henry has 30 more lollipops than Alison does. With 60 lollipops, Alisson has half the number of lollipops Diane has. If they combine the lollipops and eat 45 lollipops each day, calculate the total number of days it will take for them to finish the lollipops.
Since Henry has 30 more lollipops than Alison, he has 60 + 30 = 90 lollipops. Together, Alison and Henry have 90 + 60 = 150 lollipops. Alison has half the number of lollipops that Diane has, meaning Diane has 2 * 60 = 120 lollipops. Altogether, the three have 120 + 150 = 270 lollipops. Since they eat 45 lollipops each day, they'll take 270 / 45 = 6 days to finish all the lollipops.
The answer is 6.
