Reasoning and answer: She has used 32 ounces on 8 - ounce glasses because 4 x 8 = 32. She has used 30 ounces on the 5 - ounce glasses because 6 x 5 = 30. She has used 62 ounces in total because 32 + 30 = 62. She has 60 ounces left because 122 - 62 = 60. She can fill fifteen four - ounce glasses because 60 / 4 = 15.
The answer: 15

The land cost 30 * 20 = $600. The cows cost 20 * 1000 = $20,000. The chickens added another 100 * 5 = $500. The installation of the solar panels cost 6 * 100 = $600. So the total cost of everything was 600 + 120000 + 20000 + 500 + 600 + 6000 = $147,700.
The answer: 147700
