A cleaning company produces two sanitizer sprays. One spray kills 50% of germs, and another spray kills 25% of germs. However, 5% of the germs they kill are the same ones. What percentage of germs would be left after using both sanitizer sprays together?
After the first spray kills 50% of germs, there will be 100 - 50 = <<100-50=50>>50% left. The second spray kills 25%, but 5% have already been killed by the 50% spray, so it kills 25 - 5 = <<25-5=20>>20%. After the second spray kills 20% of the remaining germs, there will be 50 - 20 = <<50-20=30>>30% left. #### 30

The Nanjing Youth Olympic Games are about to open, and a clothing store owner, Mr. Chen, spent 3600 yuan to purchase two types of sportswear, A and B, and sold them out quickly. When Mr. Chen went to purchase the same types and quantities of clothing again, he found that the purchase prices of types A and B had increased by 20 yuan/piece and 5 yuan/piece, respectively, resulting in an additional expenditure of 400 yuan. Let the number of type A clothing purchased by Mr. Chen each time be $x$ pieces, and the number of type B clothing be $y$ pieces. (1) Please write down the function relationship between $y$ and $x$ directly: . (2) After calculating, Mr. Chen found that the average unit price of types A and B clothing had increased by 8 yuan during the second purchase compared to the first.   ① Find the values of $x$ and $y$.   ② After selling all the clothing purchased for the second time at a 35% profit, Mr. Chen took all the sales proceeds to purchase more goods. At this time, the prices of both types of clothing had returned to their original prices, so Mr. Chen spent 3000 yuan to purchase type B clothing, and the rest of the money was used to purchase type A clothing. As a result, the quantities of types A and B clothing purchased were exactly equal. How many pieces of clothing did Mr. Chen purchase in total this time?

Using buy-1-get-1-free pricing, it costs 1*$5=$<<1*5=5>>5 to buy 2 triple cheese pizzas. At $5 per 2 pizzas, it costs $5/2=$<<5/2=2.5>>2.5 per triple cheese pizza. Using buy-2-get-1-free pricing, it costs 2*$5=$<<2*5=10>>10 to buy 3 meat lovers pizzas. At $10 per three pizzas, it cost $10/3=$3 and $1/3 per meat lovers pizza. With the buy-1-get-1-free pricing, 10 triple cheese pizzas are 10*$2.5=$<<10*2.5=25>>25. With the buy-2-get-1-free pricing, 9 meat lovers pizzas are 9*($3+$1/3)=$30.

Points $P_1$, $P_2$, and $P_3$ lie on $\omega_1$, $\omega_2$, and $\omega_3$ respectively such that $P_1P_2=P_2P_3=P_3P_1$ and line $P_iP_{i+1}$ is tangent to $\omega_i$ for each $i=1,2,3$, where $P_4 = P_1$.

Jane brings 75% as many pieces of bread as treats to feed the live pets at the zoo. Wanda brings half as many treats as Jane and three times as many pieces of bread as treats. If Wanda brings 90 pieces of bread, what is the total number of pieces of bread and treats that Wanda and Jane brought to the zoo?
Wanda brought 90 pieces of bread, three times the number of treats, so Wanda brought 90/3 = <<90/3=30>>30 treats. Wanda brought half as many treats as Jane, which means Jane brought 30*2 = <<30*2=60>>60 treats. The total number of pieces of bread Jane brought is 75% of the number of treats, which means Jane brought 0.75 * 60 = 45 pieces of bread. Wanda and Jane brought a total of 30 treats+60 treats+45 pieces of bread + 90 pieces of bread = <<30+60+45+90=225>>225 #### 225
Kris is blowing u balloons for her sister’s party. She has 30 minutes to blow up as many balloons as possible and decides to enlist her brother’s help to increase the number of balloons. Kris can blow up a total of 2 balloon per minute, and her brother works twice as fast. After 15 minutes, her brother doubles his speed and works at this new speed for the remaining 15 minutes. After the 30 minutes, how many balloons, in total, did Kris and her brother blow up?
Throughout the 30 minutes, Kris blows up 2 balloons per minute * 30 minutes = <<2*30=60>>60 balloons. Her brother works at double Kris' speed in the first 15 minutes so he works at 2 balloons per minute * 2 = <<2*2=4>>4 balloons per minute. So in the first 15 minutes, he blows up 4 balloons per minute * 15 minutes = <<4*15=60>>60 balloons. In the second 15 minutes, he is working at double the rate he did previously, so he blows up 4 balloons per minute * 2 = <<4*2=8>>8 balloons per minute. In the second 15 minutes, Kris’ brother therefore blows up 8 balloons per minute * 15 minutes = <<8*15=120>>120 balloons. Throughout the 30 minutes, he has blown up a total of 60 + 120 = <<60+120=180>>180 balloons. Kris and her brother therefore blew up a total of 60 balloons from Kris + 180 balloons from Kris’ brother = <<60+180=240>>240 balloons. #### 240

A board of size \(2022 \times 2022\) is given. Lisa and Varya take turns painting \(2 \times 2\) squares on the board with red and blue colors. They agreed that each cell can be painted no more than once in blue and no more than once in red. Cells that are painted blue and then red (or vice versa) become purple. Once all cells are painted, the girls count how many of them are purple. What counts could they have gotten? Options: - \(2022 \times 2022\) - \(2022 \times 2020\) - \(2021 \times 2022\) - \(2021 \times 2020\)
