Question: Louise is organizing her pencils, and decides she wants her boxes arranged by color. Each box holds 20 pencils each. She has 20 red pencils, twice as many blue pencils, 40 yellow pencils, and has as many green pencils as she has red and blue pencils combined. How many boxes does Louise need?
Answer: Louise has 20 red pencils * 2 = 40 blue pencils. She therefore has 20 red pencils + 40 blue pencils = 60 green pencils. In total, she has 20 red pencils + 40 blue pencils + 60 green pencils + 40 yellow pencils = 160 pencils. As each box holds 20 pencils, she needs 160 pencils / 20 pencils / box = 8 boxes. The answer is 8.

Question: Jerry wakes up one morning and finds the thermostat set to 40 degrees. He set it to double the initial temperature. His dad notices, yells at Jerry, and reducing the temperature by 30 degrees. Later, Jerry's mother reduces the temperature by 30%, before his sister increases it by 24 degrees. What's the final temperature?
Answer:
First double the initial temperature: 40 degrees * 2 = 80 degrees. Then reduce that amount by 30 to reflect the dad's change: 80 degrees - 30 degrees = 50 degrees. Then multiply that number by 30% to find how much Jerry's mother reduces the temperature: 50 degrees * .3 = 15 degrees. Now subtract 15 degrees from 50 degrees to find the temperature after the mother's change: 50 degrees - 15 degrees = 35 degrees. Finally, add 24 degrees to find the final temperature: 35 degrees + 24 degrees = 59 degrees. The answer is 59.
