[Question]Salem is 15 times the size of Leesburg. Leesburg has 58940 people. If 130000 people move out of Salem, and half of Salem's population is women, how many women live in Salem?

Q: Five percent of the 300 senior students got a full merit college scholarship and ten percent of them got a half merit scholarship. How many senior students did not get any scholarships?
A: 300 x 5 / 100 = 15 senior students got a full merit scholarship. 300 x 10 / 100 = 30 senior students got a half merit scholarship. So, a total of 15 + 30 = 45 students got scholarships. Therefore, 300 - 45 = 255 senior students did not get any scholarships. The answer is 255.
Question: Kira's cat eats a pound of kibble every 4 hours. Kira fills her cat's bowl with 3 pounds of kibble before going to work. When she returns, Kira weighs the bowl and there is still 1 pound left. How many hours was Kira away from home?

[Question]Ginger likes to make cakes for every holiday for people. She has 2 children, each of whom she bakes a cake for on their birthdays, Christmas, Easter, and Halloween. She has a husband for whom she makes a cake on these same holidays, as well as on their anniversary and Valentine's Day. Lastly, she makes both her parents cakes as well, but only for their birthdays since they live far away. How many cakes does she make in 10 years?
[Answer]Ginger has 2 children whom she bakes for 4 times a year, for 2 * 4 = 8 cakes. She makes her husband 6 cakes a year. She makes each of her 2 parents a cake for 2 * 1 = 2 cakes. On a yearly basis, she therefore makes 8 + 6 + 2 = 16 cakes. In 10 years, she would make 16 * 10 = 160 cakes. The answer is 160.
