[Question]Maria's monthly salary is $2000. 20% of her salary goes to paying tax, and 5% goes to insurance. Also, a quarter of the money left after the deductions is spent on utility bills. How much money does Maria have after the deductions and utility bills payment?
[Answer]Maria's deduction for tax is 2000 x 20% = $400. Her deduction for insurance is 2000 x 5% = $100. Maria's total deductions is $400 + $100 = $500. After the deductions, Maria has only $2000 - $500 = $1500 left from her salary. Then, Maria pays $1500 / 4 = $375 for the utility bills. So, Maria has $1500 - $375 = $1125 after the deductions and utility bills payment. The answer is 1125.

Question: Big Dig Mining Company mines three different types of ore: copper, iron, and nickel. Across all their mines, 10% of their output is nickel, 60% is iron, and the rest is copper. They mine 720 tons of nickel a day. How many tons of copper does Big Dig Mining Company mine daily?
Answer: Let R be the total ore output of the company. Of Big Dig's output, 100 - 10 - 60 = 30% is nickel. Since 720 is 60% of 100% of their output, 720 / R = 60 / 100. Thus, Big Dig mines R = 100 * 720 / 60 = 1200 tons of ore daily. Therefore, Big Dig mines 1200 * 30 / 100 = 360 tons of copper daily. The answer is 360.
[Question]A pipe is clogged so that only 2 ounces of cleaner can run through the pipe per minute. After fifteen minutes, the cleaner has unclogged it enough that 3 ounces can run through per minute. Ten minutes later, the clog is cleared enough for 4 ounces to run through per minute. How many ounces of cleaner were used after 30 minutes?
[Answer]For 15 minutes at 2 ounces per minute, 2 * 15 = 30 ounces were used. For the next 10 minutes at 3 ounces per minute, 3 * 10 = 30 ounces were used. There are 30 - 15 - 10 = 5 minutes remaining. For the next 5 minutes at 4 ounces per minute, 4 * 5 = 20 ounces were used. After 30 minutes, 30 + 30 + 20 = 80 ounces of cleaner were used. The answer is 80.
