[Question]At the gym, every day, there are 300 towels laid out for guest use. Each guest is given 1 towel during their visit. The gym is open from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. In the first hour, 50 guests enter the gym. In the second hour, 20% more guests enter than during the first hour. In the third hour, 25% more guests enter than in the second hour. In the fourth hour, one third more guests enter than in the third hour. In total, how many towels do they need to wash that evening?
[Answer]In the second hour, the number of towels given out is 50 x 1.20 = 60. In the third hour, the number of towels given out is 60 x 1.25 = 75. In the fourth hour, one - third of the guests of the third hour is 75 / 3 = 25. In the fourth hour, the number of towels given out is 75 + 25 = 100. In total, including the first hour guests, they need to wash this many towels: 50 + 60 + 75 + 100 = 285. The answer is 285.

Question: Carmen is preparing dinner plates for a row of customers at the counter in a diner. She likes to put a couple of sprigs of parsley on each plate for decoration. However, she is very low on parsley and doesn't have enough to even put 1 sprig on every plate, so she needs to break several of the parsley sprigs in two to make 2 smaller ones to stretch them out. If she decorates 8 plates with one whole parsley sprig and 12 plates with 1/2 a sprig each, how many sprigs of parsley does she have left if she started with 25?
Answer:
Carmen decorates 8 plates with 1 whole sprig of parsley, 8 plates x 1 parsley sprig each = 8 parsley sprigs. She also decorates 12 plates with 1 / 2 a sprig each, 12 x 1 / 2 = 6 parsley sprigs. She started with 25 parsley sprigs and has used 8 + 6 = 14 parsley sprigs. After using 14 parsley sprigs, she has 25 - 14 = 11 sprigs left. The answer is 11.
