Q: Eunice spent $7500 on a used car, which is 25% less than the original price. What was the original price of the car?
A: The price $7500 is 100% - 25% = 75% of the original price. So, every 1% is equal to $7500 / 75% = $100. Hence, the original price is equal to $100 / 1% x 100% = $10000. The answer is 10000.
Question: Two siblings, Eman and Frank, agreed to buy a new computer table, computer chair, and a joystick. The computer table costs $140, the computer chair costs $100, and the joystick costs $20. Eman agreed to pay for the computer chair while Frank agreed to pay for the computer table. Then Frank agreed to pay 1/4 of the price of the joystick and the rest will be paid by Eman. How much more money will Frank spend than Eman?
Answer: Frank will pay $20 x 1 / 4 = $5 for the joystick. Eman will pay $20 - $5 = $15 for the joystick. So, Frank will pay a total of $140 + $5 = $145. While Eman will pay a total of $100 + $15 = $115. Therefore, Frank will spend $145 - $115 = $30 more than Eman. The answer is 30.
[Question]Mary has 400 sheep on her farm. She gave a quarter of her sheep to her sister, and half of the remaining sheep to her brother. How many sheep remain with Mary?
