Q: On Tuesday, a fruit vendor sold 2.5 dozen lemons and 5 dozens avocados. What is the total number of fruits that the fruit vendor sold?
A: Since 1 dozen is equal to 12, then the vendor sold 2.5 x 12 = 30 lemons. While he sold 5 x 12 = 60 avocados. So, the fruit vendor sold a total of 30 + 60 = 90 fruits. The answer is 90.
Question: Daisy's milk cow provides 16 cups of milk per day. 75% of the milk is consumed by Daisy's kids. Daisy uses 50% of the remaining milk to cook with. How much milk is left over?
Answer: The cow provides 16 cups of milk per day and the kids consume 75% so they drink 16 * .75 = 12 cups of milk. The cow provides 16 cups of milk and the kids drink 12 cups leaving 16 - 12 = 4 cups of milk. Daisy uses 50% of the remaining 4 cups of milk to cook with so she uses .50 * 4 = 2 cups of milk. She had 4 cups of milk and used 2 cups to cook with so that leaves 4 - 2 = 2 cups of milk. The answer is 2.
[Question]In his company, Kenzo has 80 office chairs with five legs each and 20 round tables with three legs each. If after a month 40% of the chairs are damaged and have to be disposed of, calculate the total number of legs of furniture Kenzo has remaining in his company.
[Answer]The number of chairs that are disposed of after they're found to be damaged is 40 / 100 * 80 = 32. The number of chairs in good condition in Kenzo's company is 80 - 32 = 48. The 48 chairs have 48 * 5 = 240 legs. The round tables also have 20 * 3 = 60 legs. In total, the furniture in Kenzo's company has 60 + 240 = 300 legs. The answer is 300.
