Reasoning and answer: The cow provides 16 cups of milk per day and the kids consume 75% so they drink 16 * .75 = 12 cups of milk. The cow provides 16 cups of milk and the kids drink 12 cups leaving 16 - 12 = 4 cups of milk. Daisy uses 50% of the remaining 4 cups of milk to cook with so she uses .50 * 4 = 2 cups of milk. She had 4 cups of milk and used 2 cups to cook with so that leaves 4 - 2 = 2 cups of milk.
The answer: 2

The discount per one ticket is 10 * 30 / 100 = $3. So Dorothy's and her brother's tickets are cheaper by 2 * 3 = $6. Her family consists of 5 people, so the ticket cost stands at 5 * 10 = $50. Including the discount will lower the price to 50 - 6 = $44 in total. Dorothy will be left with 70 - 44 = $26.
The answer: 26

Reasoning and answer: Since Daisy is 6 inches taller than Reese, she must be 60 inches + 8 inches = 68 inches tall. Parker is 4 inches shorter than Daisy, making her 68 inches – 4 inches = 64 inches. The average height of the three of them is (60 inches + 68 inches + 64 inches) / 3 = 64 inches.
The answer: 64
