Answer this question:Logan makes $65,000 a year. He spends $20,000 on rent every year, $5000 on groceries every year, and $8000 on gas every year. If he wants to have at least $42000 left, how much more money must he make each year?
Logan spends 20000 + 5000 + 8000 = 33000 a year. Logan has 65000 - 33000 = 32000 left a year. Logan needs to make 42000 - 32000 = 10000 more a year.
The answer is 10000.

Answer this question:Eight people fit in a row on an airplane, and there are 12 rows. Only 3/4 of the seats in each row are allowed to be seated. How many seats will not be occupied on that plane?
There a total of 8 x 12 = 96 seats on that plane. Only 8 x 3 / 4 = 6 seats are allowed to be seated in each row. So, only 6 x 12 = 72 seats are allowed to be seated on the plane. Therefore, 96 - 72 = 24 seats will not be occupied.
The answer is 24.

Answer this question:Ms. Mitsuko told the class that if the average score on their quiz is higher than 75% then they will get a pizza party. There are 25 students in the class. One student is absent and has to take the test the next day. The average score of the students who took the test was 77%. What is the lowest grade the absent student can get for the class to still get a pizza party?
The total percentage the class needs to get is 18.75 because 25 x .75 = 18.75. The total percentage the class has absent the one student is 18.48. The lowest the absent student can get and still have a pizza party is 27% because (18.75 - 18.48)x 100 = 27.
The answer is 27.
