[Question]Juanita goes through 1 bottle of sunscreen a month. She likes to stock up for the entire year when a certain website offers 30% off her entire purchase. If each bottle is $30.00 how much will all of the sunscreen cost after the discount?
[Answer]She goes through 1 bottle a month and she likes to stock up for the entire year, which is 12 months so she needs 1 * 12 = 12 bottles. Each bottle is $30.00 and she needs 12 bottles so they will cost 30 * 12 = $360.00. The website offers a 30% discount off of her $360.00 purchase so the discount will be .30 * 360 = $108.00. Her sunscreen costs $360.00 and her discount is 108.00 making her purchase total 360 - 108 = $252.00. The answer is 252.
Q: To keep himself busy in class, Michael makes rubber-band balls. He makes two sizes, large and small. A small ball uses 50 rubber bands. A large ball requires 300 rubber bands. Michael brought a 5,000 pack to class and already made 22 small balls. How many large balls can he make with the remaining rubber bands?
A: Michael has used 1,100 rubber bands because 22 x 50 = 1,100. Michael has 3,900 rubber bands remaining because 5,000 - 1,100 = 3,900. Michael can make 13 large balls because 3,900 / 300 = 13. The answer is 13.
