Question: Jon makes 3/4's the salary that Karen makes. John makes $3000 per month. How long will it take him to make the same amount of money that Karen does in 3 months?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Karen makes $3000 / (3 / 4) = $4000 per month. In three months, Karen would make a total of $4000 * 3 = $12000. To make the same amount of money John would need to work $12000 / $3000 = 4 months.
So the answer is 4.

Question: Barney's grocery store sold out all of its items at the beginning of the pandemic, so they ordered extra items to restock the shelves. However, they ended up ordering far too much and have to keep the leftover items in the storeroom. If they ordered 4458 items, sold another 1561 items that day, and have 575 items in the storeroom, how many items do they have left in the whole store?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Barney's grocery store started with 0 items + 4458 they ordered = 4458 items total. That day they sold 1561 items, so 4458 total - 1561 sold = 2897 items. If there are 575 items in the storeroom, then there are 575 + 2897 = 3472 items in the whole store.
So the answer is 3472.

Question: 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?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: 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. Therefore, Mrs. brown will only pay $112.5 - $4.5 = $108.
So the answer is 108.
