[Question]: Bella, Monica, and Rachel are friends who like jewelry. Bella has 10 earrings, which is 25% of Monica's earrings, and Monica has twice as many earrings as Rachel. How many earrings do all of the friends have?
[Answer]: Bellas has 100% / 25% = 4 times less earrings than Monica. This means that Monica has 10 * 4 = 40 earrings. Rachel has two times fewer earrings than Monica, which means 40 / 2 = 20 earrings. So all three friends, have a total of 10 + 40 + 20 = 70 earrings.
So the answer is 70.

[Question]: Jackie's favorite cosmetic company was offering free shipping when you spent $50.00. Jackie ordered her favorite shampoo and conditioner that each cost $10.00 a bottle and 3 bottles of lotion that cost $6.00 each. How much more money does Jackie need to spend to be eligible for free shipping?
[Answer]: The shampoo and conditioner cost $10 each so 2 * $10 = $20.00. 3 bottles of lotion cost $6.00 each so 3 * $6 = $18.00. So far she has spent $20 + $18 = $38.00. You need to spend $50.00 for free shipping and she has spent $38.00 already so she needs to buy $50 - $38 = $12.00 more in products.
So the answer is 12.

[Question]: There are 5 houses on a street, and each of the first four houses has 3 gnomes in the garden. If there are a total of 20 gnomes on the street, how many gnomes does the fifth house have?
[Answer]:
In the first four houses, there are a total of 4 houses * 3 gnomes = 12 gnomes. Therefore, the fifth house had 20 total gnomes – 12 gnomes = 8 gnomes.
So the answer is 8.
