Enrique earns a 15% commission on every piece of clothing item he sells. In one day he sells 2 $700.00 suits, 6 shirts that cost $50.00 each and 2 pairs of loafers that are $150.00 each. How much commission does Enrique earn? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. He sells 2 suits that are $700.00 each for a total of 2 * 700 = $1,400.00. He sells 6 shirts that are $50.00 each for a total of 6 * 50 = $300.00. He sells 2 pairs of loafers that are $150.00 each for a total of 2 * 150 = $300.00. All total he sells 1400 + 300 + 300 = $2,000.00 worth of clothing. He gets a 15% commission off of the the $2,000.00 so he earns .15 * 2000 = $300.00.. The answer is: 300.

Out of the 400 emails that Antonia received in her mail, 1/4 were spam emails, while 2/5 of the remaining emails were promotional messages. If the rest of the emails were important emails, calculate the total number of important emails in her inbox. Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. Out of the 400 emails, 1 / 4 * 400 = 100 emails were spam emails. The number of emails that were not spam emails is 400 - 100 = 300. 2 / 5 of the emails which were not spam were promotional emails, a total of 2 / 5 * 300 = 120 emails. If the rest of the emails were important emails, there were 300 - 120 = 180 important emails.. The answer is: 180.

Cassy packs 12 jars of jam in 10 boxes while she packs 10 jars of jam in 30 boxes. If she has 500 jars of jams, how many jars of jam will she have left when all the boxes are full? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. Cassy can pack 12 x 10 = 120 jars of jam in the 10 boxes. She can also pack 10 x 30 = 300 jars of jam in the 30 boxes. A total of 300 + 120 = 420 jars of jam can be packed in the boxes. So, 500 - 420 = 80 jars of jam will be left unpacked.. The answer is: 80.
