Reasoning and answer: First find the total number of purple beads Carly needs: 50 rows * 20 beads / row = 1000 beads. Then find the total number of blue beads Carly needs: 40 rows * 18 beads / row = 720 beads. Then add the number of each color she needs to find the total number she needs: 1000 beads + 720 beads + 80 beads = 1800 beads. Then divide the number of beads by 10 to find the cost: 1800 beads / 10 beads / $1 = $180.
The answer: 180

Reasoning and answer: The best player averages 5 hits a game because 25 / 5 = 5. The rest of the team averages 10 hits a game because 15 - 5 = 10. The rest of the players average 1 hit a game because 10 / 10 = 1. They will average 6 hits per player over the next 6 games because 6 x 1 = 6.
The answer: 6
