Answer the following question.
The world record for longest fingernails is 26 inches. Sandy, who just turned 12 this month, has a goal for tying the record. Her fingernails are 2 inches long. Her fingernails grow at a rate of one-tenth of an inch per month. How old will she be when she achieves the world record?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Sandy's fingernails will grow a total of ( 0.1 ) * 12 = 1.2 inches per year.

Answer the following question.
Mr. Salazar had seven dozen oranges. He reserved 1/4 of it for his friend and was able to sell 3/7 of the remaining yesterday. Today, he saw four rotten oranges. How many oranges are left to be sold today?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Mr. Salazar had 7 x 12 = 84 oranges. He reserved 84 x 1 / 4 = 21 oranges for his friend. Ha had 84 - 21 = 63 oranges to be sold yesterday. But only 63 x 3 / 7 = 27 oranges were sold yesterday. So, he had 63 - 27 = 36 oranges left. Since four oranges are rotten, then only 36 - 4 = 32 oranges are left to be sold today.
The answer is 32.
