Q: There were 600 cookies in a box. Nicole ate 2/5 of the total number of cookies, while Eduardo ate 3/5 of the remaining amount. What percentage of the original cookies remained?
A: Nicole ate 2 / 5 of the total number of cookies, which is 2 / 5 * 600 = 240. The total number of cookies that remained in the box after Nicole ate 240 is 600 - 240 = 360. Eduardo then ate 3 / 5 of the remaining cookies, a total of 3 / 5 * 360 = 216 cookies. The total number of cookies that remained after Eduardo ate 216 is 360 - 216 = 144. The percentage of the cookies that remained out of the original amount is 144 / 600 * 100% = 24%. The answer is 24.
Question: An opera house has 150 rows; each row has ten seats. The ticket costs $10 per show. How much did the opera house earn from one of the shows if 20% of the seats were not taken?
Answer: The opera house has 150 x 10 = 1500 seats. There are 1500 x 20 / 100 = 300 seats that were not taken. The total number of seats taken was 1500 - 300 = 1200. Therefore, the opera house earned $10 x 1200 = $12000 from one of the shows. The answer is 12000.

Question: There are three dogs in the backyard. They like apples, blueberries, and bonnies. The first dog, which likes apples, eats 3 times as many apples as the number of blueberries eaten by the second dog that likes blueberries. The dog that likes blueberries eats 3/4 times as many blueberries as the number of bonnies eaten by the third dog. If the dog that likes bonnies ate 60 of them, calculate the total number of fruits eaten by the three dogs?
Answer: The dog that likes blueberries ate 3 / 4 * 60 = 45 blueberries, 3 / 4 as many blueberries as the number of bonnies eaten by the third dog. The total number of fruits eaten by the dog that likes bonnies and the one that like blueberries is 45 + 60 = 105. The first dog that likes apples ate 3 * 45 = 135 apples which are 3 times as many blueberries as the number eaten by the dog that likes blueberries. In total, the three dogs ate 105 + 135 = 240 fruits. The answer is 240.
