[Question]Martin went to a store to buy a new television set. He decided to spend no more than $1,000 and the sales clerk offered him the TV for $100 less and an additional 20% off. How much lower was the price of the television than the amount Martin decided to spend?
[Answer]The seller has offered him the TV for 1000 - 100 = $900. The discount on the television was 900 * 20 / 100 = $180. The final price of the television is therefore 900 - 180 = $720. Martin was able to save 1000 - 720 = $280. The answer is 280.

Question: Jerry bought 48 firecrackers for the 4th of July. A police officer discovered and confiscated 12 of them. 1/6 of the remaining ones were defective. If Jerry set off half the good firecrackers, how many firecrackers did he set off?
Answer: First subtract the 12 confiscated firecrackers from the original number: 48 firecrackers - 12 firecrackers = 36 firecrackers. Then multiply this number by 1 / 6 to find how many were defective: 36 firecrackers * 1 / 6 = 6 firecrackers. Then subtract the defective firecrackers to find how many were good: 36 firecrackers - 6 firecrackers = 30 firecrackers. Then divide this number in half to find how many firecrackers Jerry set off: 30 firecrackers / 2 = 15 firecrackers. The answer is 15.
[Question]Marlon has a gift card for $200. He spent half of it on Monday and one-fourth of the remainder on Tuesday. How much was left on his gift card?
[Answer]Since Marlon spent half of the gift card, then half of it which is $200 / 2 = $100 remained on Monday. Then on Tuesday, he spent $100 / 4 = $25. Therefore, he has $100 - $25 = $75 left in his gift card. The answer is 75.
[Question]Rhea buys 2 trays of eggs every week for her family. Her son and daughter eat 2 eggs every morning, and Rhea and her husband eat 4 eggs every night. If each tray has 24 eggs, how many eggs are not being eaten every week?
[Answer]
Rhea buys a total of 24 x 2 = 48 eggs every week. Her son and daughter eat 2 x 7 = 14 eggs every week. Rhea and her husband eat 4 x 7 = 28 eggs every week. So, the total eggs they eat is 28 + 14 = 42. Therefore, the total number of eggs that are not being eaten is 48 - 42 = 6. The answer is 6.
