Answer the following question.
Colin can skip at six times the speed that Brandon can. Brandon can skip at one-third the speed that Tony can. And Tony can skip at twice the speed that Bruce can. At what speed, in miles per hour, can Colin skip if Bruce skips at 1 mile per hour?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Tony can skip at twice the speed that Bruce can, for a speed of 1 * 2 = 2 miles per hour. Brandon can skip at one - third the speed that Tony can, for a speed of 2 * (1 / 3) = 2 / 3 miles per hour. Colin can skip at six times the speed that Brandon can, for a speed of (2 / 3 * 6 = 4 miles per hour).
The answer is 4.

Answer the following question.
Jake trips over his dog 40% percent of mornings. 25% of the time he trips, he drops his coffee. What percentage of mornings does he NOT drop his coffee?
Step-by-step reasoning process: First multiply the chance of each event happening to find the chance they both happen: 40% * 25% = 10%. Then subtract that percentage from 100% to find the percentage of the time Jake doesn't drop his coffee: 100% - 10% = 90%.
The answer is 90.

Answer the following question.
James has 20 pairs of red socks and half as many black socks. He has twice as many white socks as red and black combined. How many total socks does he have combined?
Step-by-step reasoning process: He has 20 / 2 = 10 black socks. So he has 20 + 10 = 30 black and red socks. So he has 30 * 2 = 60 white socks. So he has 60 + 30 = 90 total socks.
The answer is 90.

Answer the following question.
A department store offers a 10% discount for the amount exceeding $100 of the customer's total charge. Jaco bought a pair of shoes for $74; 2 pairs of socks that cost $2 per pair; a bag that costs $42. How much will Jaco pay for those items?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Two pairs of socks cost $2 x 2 = $4. Jaco's total charge is $74 + $4 + $42 = $120. The amount that exceeds $100 is $120 - $100 = $20. So, Jaco has $20 x 10 / 100 = $2 discount. Therefore, Jaco will pay $120 - $2 = $118 for those items.
The answer is 118.
