Q: A certain store sells computer accessories and equipment. Due to a fire outbreak in one of the factories, the price of RAM increased by 30%. After two years, the price stabilized and finally fell by 20% from what it has risen. What is the current price of RAM if it was $50 before the fire?
A: 52
Step-by-step reasoning process: After the fire outbreak, the price of RAM got increased by 30 / 100 * 50 = $15. So before stabilization the price was at 50 + 15 = $65. After the stabilization, the price fell by 20% from $65, so it fell by 20 / 100 * 65 = $13. That means the RAM is currently at 65 - 13 = $52.


Q: Rose had 10 kilograms of rice. She cooked 9/10 kilograms in the morning and 1/4 of the remaining in the evening. How many grams of rice did she have left?
A: 750
Step-by-step reasoning process: Rose cooked 10 x 9 / 10 = 9 kilograms of rice in the morning. She had 10 - 9 = 1 kilogram of rice left then. One kilogram is equal to 1 x 1000 = 1000 grams. So, Rose cooked 1000 x 1 / 4 = 250 grams of rice in the evening. Therefore, she has 1000 - 250 = 750 grams of rice left.
