[Question]A farmer is checking his fields to make sure all of his crops are growing as they should. Rows of corn stalks should produce 9 corn cobs each, and rows of potatoes should produce 30 potatoes each. As he’s checking crop quality, he notices that there are more pests than usual and they have destroyed some of his crops. He thinks that half of his crops have been destroyed by the pests. If the farmer has 10 rows of corn stalks and 5 rows of potatoes, how many crops does the farmer still have?
[Answer]The farmer had a total of 10 rows of corn stalks * 9 corn cobs each = 90 corn cobs. He also had a total of 5 rows of potatoes * 30 potatoes each = 150 potatoes. This was a total of 90 corn cobs + 150 potatoes = 240 crops. Because pests destroyed half of his crops, he now has 240 crops * 0.5 = 120 crops. The answer is 120.

[Question]A park warden has issued 24 citations over the past three hours. He issued the same number for littering as he did for off-leash dogs, and he issued double the number of other citations for parking fines. How many littering citations did the warden issue?
[Answer]Let L be the number of littering citations the warden issued. He issued 2L citations for littering and off - leash dogs, and 2 * 2L = 4L citations for parking fines. In all, he issued 2L + 4L = 6L = 24 citations. Thus, he issued L = 24 / 6 = 4 citations for littering. The answer is 4.
[Question]Vanessa has decided to sell some of her clothes to make pocket money, offering a standard price for each type of item. She made a total of $69 by selling 7 dresses and 4 shirts. If she managed to sell each shirt for $5, how much did the dresses sell for each?
[Answer]
Let V be the cost of each dress. (7 * V) + (4 * 5) = $69. So, 7 * V + 20 = $69. 7V = $49. V = $49 / 7. V = $7. The answer is 7.
