60% of female alligators are adults because 100 - 40 = 60. There are 25 female alligators because 15 / .6 = 25. There are 50 alligators in total because 25 / .5 = 50. There are 25 male alligators because 50 / 2 = 25.
The answer: 25

Question: Carrie harvested 200 tomatoes and 350 carrots on her farm. If she can sell a tomato for $1 and a carrot for $1.50, how much money can she make if she sells all of her tomatoes and carrots?


She sold 5 necklaces at $25.00 apiece for a total of 5 * 25 = $125.00. She sold 10 bracelets for $15.00 each for a total of 10 * 15 = $150.00. She sold 20 earrings for $10.00 a pair for a total of 20 * 10 = $200.00. She sold 2 ensembles for $45.00 each for a total of 2 * 45 = $90.00. All total she made 125 + 150 + 200 + 90 = $565.00.
The answer: 565

If Darren bought 4 boxes of crackers, each containing 24 crackers, the total number of crackers that Darren bought is 24 * 4 = 96. Twice as many boxes of crackers as Darren bought is 2 * 4 = 8. If Calvin bought one box less than twice as many boxes of crackers as Darren, then Calvin bought 8 - 1 = 7 boxes of crackers. The total number of crackers that Calvin bought is 7 * 24 = 168. Together, Darren and Clavin bought 168 + 96 = 264 crackers.
The answer: 264
Reverse engineering the question: Darren bought 4 boxes of crackers. Each box contained 24 crackers. If Calvin bought one box less than twice as many boxes of crackers as Darren, how many crackers did they buy altogether?
