With 4 green hangers, 1 less blue hanger than there are green hangers is 4 - 1 = 3 blue hangers. With 3 blue hangers, 1 less yellow hanger less than there are blue hangers is 3 - 1 = 2 yellow hangers.

Reasoning and answer: First find the total number of ducklings the first two ducks have: 2 ducks * 5 ducklings / duck = 10 ducklings. Then find the total number of ducklings the next six ducks have: 6 ducks * 3 ducklings / duck = 18 ducklings. Then find the total number of ducklings the last 9 ducks have: 9 ducks * 6 ducklings / duck = 54 ducklings. Then add up all the ducks and ducklings to find the total number: 10 ducklings + 18 ducklings + 54 ducklings + 2 ducks + 6 ducks + 9 ducks = 99 ducks.
The answer: 99

The total amount of money raised from friends contribution is 40 / 100 * $10000 = $4000. Minus his friend's contribution, the 40th president has raised $10000 - $4000 = $6000. The family raised 30 / 100 * $6000 = $1800. If the family raised $1800, the savings the 40th president had for the campaign is $6000 - $1800 = $4200.
The answer: 4200
