[Answer]40 slices per watermelon and each slice having 20 black seeds means each watermelon has 20 * 40 = 800 black seeds. 40 slices per watermelon and each slice having 20 white seeds means each watermelon has 20 * 40 = 800 white seeds. In total, each watermelon has 800 + 800 = 1600 seeds. What is the total number of seeds in a watermelon?. The answer is 1600.

Question: Andy is checking to see if all the cars in the parking lot paid for their parking. 75% of the cars have valid tickets, and 1/5th that number have permanent parking passes. If there are 300 cars in the parking lot, how many people tried to park in the lot without paying?
Answer:
First find how many cars have valid tickets: 75% * 300 cars = 225 cars. Then find the percentage of cars with parking passes: 75% / 5 = 15%. Then multiply that number by the total number of cars to find the number with parking passes: 15% * 300 cars = 45 cars. Then subtract all the cars with valid forms of parking to find the number parked illegally: 300 cars - 225 cars - 45 cars = 30 cars. The answer is 30.
