A tank with a capacity of 8000 gallons is 3/4 full. Daxton empty's the tank by 40% of the total volume of water in the tank to water his vegetable farm. He then fills the tank with 30% of the volume of water remaining in the tank. Calculate the final volume of water in the tank.	The volume of water that is in the tank initially is 3/48000 = 6000 gallons. When Daxton empties 40% of the water, he pumps out 40/1006000 = 2400 gallons of water. The total volume of water remaining in the tank is 6000-2400 = 3600 gallons. Daxton then fills the tank with 30/100*3600 = 1080 gallons of water. The final volume of water in the tank is 3600+1080 = 4680 gallons. The answer is: 4680
A gift shop sells bracelets at $15 each, a gold heart necklace at $10, and a personalized coffee mug at $20. Raine buys three bracelets, two gold heart necklaces, and one coffee mug for her friends. How much change does Raine get back if she gives a one hundred dollar bill?	Three bracelets cost 3 x $15 = $45. Two gold necklaces cost 2 x $10 = $20. Thus, the total amount is $45 + $20 + $20 = $85. Therefore, Raine gets a change of $100 - $85 = $15. The answer is: 15
Martin went to a store to buy a new television set. He decided to spend no more than $1,000 and the sales clerk offered him the TV for $100 less and an additional 20% off.

Daisy's Flower Shop sold 45 daisies on its first day. On their second day, they sold 20 more flowers than they did on their first day. On the third day, they sold 10 less than twice the flowers that were sold than on the second day. If the flower shop sold a total of 350 daisies for 4 days, how many daisies were sold on the 4th day?	The flower shop sold 45 + 20 = 65 daisies on the second day. Twice the number of flowers on the second day is 65 x 2 = 130. So, the flower shop sold 130 - 10 = 120 daisies on the third day. The total daisies sold for 3 days was 45 + 65 + 120 = 230. Therefore, 350 - 230 = 120 daisies were sold on the 4th day. The answer is: 120
James buys $3000 worth of stuff from Amazon. He has to return a TV that cost $700 and a bike that cost $500. He also sells another bike that cost 20% more than the bike he returned for 80% of what he bought it for. He then buys a toaster for $100. How much is he out of pocket for everything?	The items he returned were valued at $700 + $500 = $1200 So far he is out 3000-1200 = 1800 after recouping 1200. An item that is 20% more expensive cost 1 + .2 = 1.2 times as much as the item So that means the bike he sold cost $500 * 1.2 = $600 He sold it for $600 * .8 = $480 From the bike that he had bought for 600, he was out 600-480 =120 So far he is out 1800+120 = 1920 If he also bought a toaster worth 100, he was out 1920+100 = 2020 The answer is: 2020

If he ate 3/4 of the remaining boar sausages on Friday, how many sausages are left?	On Monday, Mr Castiel ate 2/5600 = 240 sausages. The remaining number of sausages after he ate 240 on Monday is 600-240 = 360 On Tuesday, he ate half of the remaining sausages, a total of 360/2 = 180. The remaining number of sausages that he saved for Friday after eating 180 on Tuesday is 360-180 = 180. On Friday, Mr Castiel ate 3/4180 = 135 of the sausages he had kept. The remaining number of sausages after he ate 135 on Friday is 180-135 = 45 The answer is: 45
It's Mother's day, so mothers get a 10% discount on the department store. Mothers who have 3 children or more can get an additional 4% off the discounted price. If Mrs. Brown has 4 children and wants to buy a pair of shoes that costs $125, how much will she pay?	Mrs. Brown has a $125 x 10/100 = $12.5 discount for her purchase. So, the remaining amount she needs to pay is $125 - $12.5 =$112.5. But Mrs. Brown can still avail of the 5% discount, so she has an additional discount of $112.5 x 4/100 = $4.5.

An aquarium holds an equal number of clownfish and blowfish. 26 of the blowfish stay in their own tank, and the remaining blowfish swim into a display tank. An equal number of clownfish join the blowfish in the display tank, but then a third of these clownfish swim back into their own tank. If the aquarium holds a combined total of 100 fish, how many clownfish are now in the display tank?	There is an equal number of clownfish and blowfish, which means there are 100 fish / 2 = 50 blowfish. Since some stay in their tanks, there are 50 blowfish – 26 blowfish = 24 blowfish in the display tank. There were the same amount of clownfish until 24 clownfish / 3 = 8 clownfish swam back to their own tank. This leaves 24 clownfish – 8 clownfish = 16 clownfish in the display tank. The answer is: 16

He paid 25% of the new home price because 100 - 75 = 25 He paid $125,000 towards the new home because 500,000 x .25 = 125,000 Therefore he paid $100,000 for his first home because 125,000 / 1.25 = 100,000 The answer is: 100000
