Catherine had an equal number of pencils and pens. If she had 60 pens and gave eight pens and 6 pencils to each of her seven friends and kept the rest for herself, how many pens and pencils did she have left?
Catherine gave eight pens to each of her seven friends, a total of 8*7 = <<8*7=56>>56 pens. She remained with 60-56 = <<60-56=4>>4 pens. When she also gave 6 pencils to each of her seven friends, she gave away 6*7 = <<6*7=42>>42 pencils. Since she had the same number of pencils as pens, she remained with 60-42 = <<60-4...
Josh has $300 in his wallet, and $2000 invested in a business. If the business's stock price rises 30% and then he sells all of his stocks, how much money will he have in his wallet?
If the business's stock price rises 30%, then his share on the company is worth 30% multiplied by $2000 plus $2000 that he already had. That results in 30% * $2000 + $2000 = $600 + $2000 = $<<30*.01*2000+2000=2600>>2600. Since he already had $300, with $2600 more he will have $300 + $2600 = $<<300+2600=2900>>2900. ####...
