Question: There are 120 cards in a box. If 2/5 of the cards are red, exactly 5/9 of the remainder are black, and the rest are green, calculate the number of green cards in the box?
Answer: The number of red cards in the box, 2 / 5 of the total number, is 2 / 5 * 120 = 48. The number of cards that are not red is 120 - 48 = 72. If 5 / 9 of the remaining cards are black, then there are 5 / 9 * 72 = 40 black cards in the box. If the remaining cards are green, then there are 72 - 40 = 32 green cards in the box. The answer is 32.

Q: Faith is getting paid $13.50 per hour. She normally works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, plus 2 hours of overtime per day. How much will she earn by the end of the week?
A: Faith earns $13.50 x 8 = $108 per day. Since she works 5 days a week, she earns 5 x $108 = $540 per week. She gets an additional 2 x $13.50 = $27 per day for the overtime pay. She earns a total of $27 x 5 = $135 additional pay for her weekly overtime. Therefore, Faith earns $540 + $135 = $675 per week. The answer is 675.
Question: A type C school bus contains 13 rows of seats, with an aisle running down the middle of the bus, splitting each row into two sections. If the school only allowed two students to sit in each section, how many students could be seated on the bus?

Q: Alicia has to buy some books for the new school year. She buys 2 math books, 3 art books, and 6 science books, for a total of $30. If both the math and science books cost $3 each, what was the cost of each art book?
A:
The total cost of maths books is 2 * 3 = 6 dollars. The total cost of science books is 6 * 3 = 18 dollars. The total cost for maths and science books is 6 + 18 = 24 dollars. The cost for art books is 30 - 24 = 6 dollars. Since he bought 3 art books, the cost for each art book will be 6 / 3 = 2 dollars. The answer is 2.
