Question and rationale: The question is: Jose threatened to withhold 20% of Amanda's pay if she does not finish her sales report by midnight. If Amanda makes $50.00 an hour and works for 10 hours a day, how much money will she receive if she does not finish the sales report by midnight?
Step-by-step reasoning process: If she works for 10 hours a day at an hourly pay of $50, then her total income in a day is $500. If she doesn't meet the deadline Jose gave her, she'll lose 20 / 100 * $500 = $100. She'll receive $500 - $100 = $400 if Jose cuts out 20% of her pay.

Question and rationale:
The question is: There were 90 people at the summer picnic. There were 50 soda cans, 50 plastic bottles of sparkling water, and 50 glass bottles of juice. One-half of the guests drank soda, one-third of the guests drank sparkling water, and four-fifths of the juices were consumed. How many recyclable cans and bottles were collected?
