Sammy can eat 15 pickle slices. His twin sister Tammy can eat twice as much as Sammy. Their older brother Ron eats 20% fewer pickles slices than Tammy. How many pickle slices does Ron eat?
Tammy can eat twice as many pickle slices as Sammy who eats 15 so Tammy can eat 15*2 = <<15*2=30>>30 pickle slices Ron eats 20% fewer pickle slices than Tammy who eats 30 pickle slices so that's .20*30 = <<20*.01*30=6>>6 fewer slices than Tammy Tammy eats 30 slices and Ron eats 6 less, then Ron eats 30-6 = <<30-6=24>>24 pickle slices #### 24

Papi Calot prepared his garden to plant potatoes. He planned to plant 7 rows of 18 plants each. But he still has a bit of room left, so he’s thinking about adding 15 additional potato plants. How many plants does Papi Calot have to buy?
Let’s first calculate the number of plants that Papi had planned: 7 rows * 18 plants/row = <<7*18=126>>126 plants Now let’s add the other plants: 126 plants + 15 plants = <<126+15=141>>141 plants. So Papi has to buy 141 plants. #### 141

Mary is writing a story, and wants her 60 characters to be split according to their initials. Half of her characters have the initial A, and half of this amount have the initial C. Mary wants the rest of her characters to have the initials D and E, but she wants there to be twice as many characters with the initial D as there are characters with the initial E. How many of Mary’s characters have the initial D?
Half the characters have the initial A, which is a total of 60 / 2 = <<60/2=30>>30 characters. This means that 30 / 2 = <<30/2=15>>15 characters have the initial C. Mary wants the remaining 60 – 30 – 15 = <<60-30-15=15>>15 characters to have the initials D or E. For there to be twice as many characters with the initial D, the characters are divided into 2 + 1 = <<2+1=3>>3 parts. Dividing by this means there are 15 / 3 = <<15/3=5>>5 characters with the initial E. This leaves 15 – 5 = <<15-5=10>>10 characters with the initial D. #### 10

A deep-sea monster rises from the waters once every hundred years to feast on a ship and sate its hunger. Over three hundred years, it has consumed 847 people. Ships have been built larger over time, so each new ship has twice as many people as the last ship. How many people were on the ship the monster ate in the first hundred years?
Let S be the number of people on the first hundred years’ ship. The second hundred years’ ship had twice as many as the first, so it had 2S people. The third hundred years’ ship had twice as many as the second, so it had 2 * 2S = <<2*2=4>>4S people. All the ships had S + 2S + 4S = 7S = 847 people. Thus, the ship that the monster ate in the first hundred years had S = 847 / 7 = <<847/7=121>>121 people on it. #### 121

The novelty shop on the Starship Conundrum sells magazines and chocolates. The cost of four chocolate bars is equal to the cost of 8 magazines. If one magazine costs $1, how much does a dozen chocolate bars cost, in dollars?
If one magazine costs $1, then 8 magazines cost 8*$1=$<<8*1=8>>8. Let's define "x" as the cost of one chocolate bar. The cost of four chocolate bars is equal to the cost of 8 magazines and 4*x=$8. Dividing each side by 4, we get the cost of one chocolate bar x=$2. Therefore, a dozen chocolate bars would cost 12*$2=$<<12*2=24>>24. #### 24

The total number of shirts in the donation box is <<4=4>>4. The total number of pants in the donation box is 4 x 2 = <<4*2=8>>8. The total number of shorts in the donation box is 8 / 2 = <<8/2=4>>4. The total number of clothes donated is 4 + 8 + 4 = <<4+8+4=16>>16 pieces. #### 16
A certain tour group checked the weather conditions on the day of the outing. A weather forecasting software predicted that the probability of rain during the time periods $12:00$ to $13:00$ and $13:00$ to $14:00$ on the day of the outing are $0.5$ and $0.4$ respectively. Then, the probability of rain during the time period $12:00$ to $14:00$ on the day of the outing for this tour group is ______. (Provide your answer in numerical form)

At a hypothetical school, there are three departments in the faculty of sciences: biology, physics and chemistry. Each department has three male and one female professor. A committee of six professors is to be formed containing three men and three women, and each department must be represented by two of its members. Every committee must include at least one woman from the biology department. Find the number of possible committees that can be formed subject to these requirements.

The total cost of staying at High Services Hotel is $40 per night per person. Jenny and two of her friends went to the hotel and stayed for three nights. What's the total amount of money they all paid together?
If each of them stayed 3 nights, the total cost per person is $40/night * 3 nights = $<<40*3=120>>120 Since they were three, the combined cost is $120 + $120 + $120 = $<<120+120+120=360>>360 #### 360

Lydia has 80 plants. 40% of her plants are flowering plants. Lydia wants to place a fourth of her flowering plants on the porch. If each flowering plant produces 5 flowers, how many flowers are there in total on the porch?
Lydia has 80 * 0.40 = <<80*0.40=32>>32 flowering plants Lydia places 32 / 4 = <<32/4=8>>8 of the flowering plants on the porch There are 8 * 5 = <<8*5=40>>40 flowers on the porch #### 40
