Lizzy: Sally Draper gave her dad Don Draper 10oz of rum on his pancakes. Don can consume a maximum of 3 times that amount of rum for a healthy diet. If he already had 12oz of rum earlier that day, how many oz of rum can Don have after eating all of the rum and pancakes?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
3 times the initial amount of 10 oz is 3 * 10 = 30 oz. He has consumed 10 + 12 = 22 oz of rum. He can still consume 30 - 22 = 8 oz of rum. Final answer: 8.
