Answer the following question.
A plant supplier was able to sell 20 pieces of orchids for $50 each and 15 pieces potted Chinese money plant for $25. The money he earned was then used to pay his two workers $40 each and to buy new pots worth $150. How much money was left from the plant supplier's earnings?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The plant supplier earned $50 x 20 = $1000 for the orchids. He earned $25 x 15 = $375 for the potted Chinese money plants. So, his total earnings was $1000 + $375 = $1375. Then he paid $40 x 2 = $80 to his workers. He used a total of $80 + $150 = $230 for the worker's pay and new pots. Hence, he was left with $1375 - $230 = $1145 from his earnings.
The answer is 1145.

Answer the following question.
Kameron has 100 kangaroos on his large farm; Bert has 20 kangaroos on his farm. In how many more days will Bert have the same number of kangaroos as Kameron does now if he buys kangaroos at the same rate of 2 new kangaroos per day?
Step-by-step reasoning process: If Kameron has 100 kangaroos, he has 100 - 20 = 80 more kangaroos than Bert. Buying 2 kangaroos every day, it will take Bert 80 / 2 = 40 days to have the same number of kangaroos as Kameron has now.
The answer is 40.

Answer the following question.
Joy is winding balls of yarn for her cat to play with. The first ball is half the size of the second ball. The third ball is three times as large as the first ball. She used 27 feet of yarn for the third ball. How many feet of yarn did she use for the second ball?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The first ball is a third of the size of the third ball, so it used 27 / 3 = 9 feet of yarn. The second ball is twice the size of the first ball, so she used 9 * 2 = 18 feet of yarn.
The answer is 18.

Answer the following question.
Wally gives 3/4 of his 400 tickets to his two friends Jensen and Finley, who share the tickets in a ratio of 4:11. How many tickets does Finley get?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Wally gives his friends 3 / 4 * 400 = 300 tickets to share. The total ratio that represents the tickets that Jensen and Finley share is 4 + 11 = 15. From the total ratio, the fraction that represents the share that Finley got is 11 / 15, and since he shared with Jensen 300 tickets, he got 11 / 15 * 300 = 220 tickets.
The answer is 220.
