Question: In Fifi's closet, she hangs all of her clothes on colored plastic hangers. She has clothes hanging on 7 pink hangers, 4 green hangers, one less blue hanger than there are green hangers, and one less yellow hanger than there are blue hangers. What is the total number of colored hangers in Fifi's closet?
Answer: With 4 green hangers, 1 less blue hanger than there are green hangers is 4 - 1 = 3 blue hangers. With 3 blue hangers, 1 less yellow hanger less than there are blue hangers is 3 - 1 = 2 yellow hangers. With 7 pink hangers, the total number of colored hangers in Fifi's closet is 7 + 4 + 3 + 2 = 16 hangers. The answer is 16.
[Question]Mary sees a flock of ducks crossing the street. There are 2 ducks with 5 ducklings each, 6 ducks with 3 ducklings each, and 9 ducks with 6 ducklings each. How many ducks and ducklings are there total?
[Answer]First find the total number of ducklings the first two ducks have: 2 ducks * 5 ducklings / duck = 10 ducklings. Then find the total number of ducklings the next six ducks have: 6 ducks * 3 ducklings / duck = 18 ducklings. Then find the total number of ducklings the last 9 ducks have: 9 ducks * 6 ducklings / duck = 54 ducklings. Then add up all the ducks and ducklings to find the total number: 10 ducklings + 18 ducklings + 54 ducklings + 2 ducks + 6 ducks + 9 ducks = 99 ducks. The answer is 99.
Q: Since the 40th president launched his reelection campaign today, he has raised $10,000 in campaign funds. His friends raised 40% of this amount and his family raised 30% of the remaining amount. The rest of the funds are from his own savings for the election. How much did he save for the presidency?
A: The total amount of money raised from friends contribution is 40 / 100 * $10000 = $4000. Minus his friend's contribution, the 40th president has raised $10000 - $4000 = $6000. The family raised 30 / 100 * $6000 = $1800. If the family raised $1800, the savings the 40th president had for the campaign is $6000 - $1800 = $4200. The answer is 4200.
