[Question]Mary is paying her monthly garbage bill for a month with exactly four weeks. The garbage company charges Mary $10 per trash bin and $5 per recycling bin every week, and Mary has 2 trash bins and 1 recycling bin. They're giving her an 18% discount on the whole bill before fines for being elderly, but also charging her a $20 fine for putting inappropriate items in a recycling bin. How much is Mary's garbage bill?
[Answer]First find how much Mary pays weekly for the trash bins: $10 / trash bin * 2 trash bins = $20. Then add this to the cost of the recycling bin: $20 + $5 = $25. Then multiply the week cost by the number of weeks per month to find the monthly cost: $25 / week * 4 weeks / month = $100 / month. Now calculate Mary's senior discount: 18% * $100 = $18. Now subtract the discount and add the fine to find the total monthly cost: $100 - $18 + $20 = $102. The answer is 102.
Q: Los Angeles has 6 million people living in it. If half the population is women and 1/3 of the women work in retail, how many women work in retail in Los Angeles?

A: The cafeteria can seat 15 x 10 = 150 people. Usually, 150 x 1 / 10 = 15 seat are unseated. Thus, 150 - 15 = 135 seats are usually taken. The answer is 135.
Question: Vermont opened up 4 web pages on his web browser and found 12 ads on the first web page and twice as many ads on the second web page as the first web page. When he opened the third web page, he found 24 more ads than the number of ads on the second web page. If the fourth web page had 3/4 times as many ads as the second web page, calculate the total number of ads Vermont clicked on if he clicked on 2/3 of them.
Answer:
If Vermont found 12 ads on the first web page and twice as many ads on the second web page as the first web page, he found 12 * 2 = 24 ads on the second web page. The first and the second web page had a total of 12 + 24 = 36. Vermont also found 24 more ads on the third web page than the second web page, a total of 24 + 24 = 48 ads. The first three web pages had 48 + 36 = 84 ads. The fourth web page had 3 / 4 times as many ads as the second web page, a total of 3 / 4 * 24 = 18 ads. In all the web pages Vermont opened, he found 84 + 18 = 102 ads. If he clicked on 2 / 3 of them, he clicked on 2 / 3 * 102 = 68 ads. The answer is 68.
