Rubert has 4 times the number of candies James has. James has 3 times the number of candies Adam has. If Adam has 6 candies, how many candies do the three of them have in total?
Let's think: James has 3 * 6 candies = 18 candies. Rubert has 4 * 18 candies = 72 candies. So, the three of them have 6 candies + 18 candies + 72 candies = 96 candies.. The answer is: 96.

This year the Oscar swag bags include two diamond earrings that cost $6,000 each, a new iPhone that costs $2,000, and some designer scarves that each cost $1,500. If the total value of the swag bag is $20,000, how many scarves are there?
Let's think: First find the total cost of the diamond earrings: $6,000 / earring * 2 earrings = $12,000. Then subtract the cost of the earrings and iPhone from the total cost of the bags to find the cost of all the scarves: $20,000 - $12,000 - $2,000 = $6,000. Then divide the total cost of the scarves by the cost per scarf to find the number of scarves: $6,000 / $1,500 / scarf = 4 scarves.. The answer is: 4.

Ned opens a left-handed store. He sells left-handed mice. They cost 30% more than normal mice. He sells 25 a day and his store is open every day except Sunday, Thursday, and Friday. If normal mice cost $120 how much money does he make a week?
Let's think: The left - hand mice cost 120 * .3 = $36 more than right - handed ones. So they cost 120 + 36 = $156. So he makes 156 * 25 = $3900 a day. The store is open 7 - 3 = 4 days a week. So in a week, he makes 3900 * 4 = $15,600.. The answer is: 15600.

Mr Julien's store has 400 marbles remaining after the previous day's sales. Twenty customers came into the store, and each bought 15 marbles. How many marbles remain in the store?
Let's think:
If each of the 20 customers bought 15 marbles, then they bought 20 * 15 = 300 marbles in total from Mr Julien's store. The number of marbles remaining in the store is 400 - 300 = 100 marbles.. The answer is: 100.
