Q: Gina can paint six cups an hour with roses and 7 cups an hour with lilies. Her Etsy store gets an order for 6 rose cups and 14 lily cups. If Gina gets paid $90 total for the order, how much does she make per hour?
A: First find the total time to paint the rose cups: 6 cups / 6 cups / hour = 1 hour. Then find the total time to paint the lily cups: 14 cups / 7 cups / hour = 2 hours. Then add the painting time for each type of cup to find the total painting time: 1 hour + 2 hours = 3 hours. Then divide Gina's total earnings by the number of hours she works to find her hourly wage: $90 / 3 hours = $30 / hour. The answer is 30.
Question: Shonda is throwing an Easter egg hunt for her 2 kids and their 10 friends. She is also supplying enough eggs for herself and the 7 other adults there to find eggs as well. If there are 15 Easter egg baskets for everyone to share and each ends up holding 12 Easter eggs, when they equally distribute all of the Easter eggs to everyone, how many eggs does each person get?
Answer: There are 15 Easter egg baskets with 12 Easter eggs in them, 15 x 12 = 180 Easter eggs. There are 7 adults + Shonda (1) + 2 of Shonda's kids + 10 of their friends = 20 people at the Easter egg hunt. There are 180 Easter eggs for 20 people, 180 / 20 = 9 Easter eggs each for everyone. The answer is 9.

Q: Silvia's bakery is offering 10% on advanced orders over $50.00. She orders 2 quiches for $15.00 each, 6 croissants at $3.00 each and 6 buttermilk biscuits for $2.00 each. How much will her order be with the discount?
A: She orders 2 quiches for $15.00 each so they cost 2 * 15 = $30.00. She orders 6 croissants at $3.00 each so they cost 6 * 2.5 = $18.00. She orders 6 biscuits at $2.00 each so they cost 6 * 2 = $12.00. Her advance order is 30 + 18 + 12 = $60.00. Her advance order is over $50.00 so she can get 10% off so .10 * 60 = $6.00. Her order is $60.00 and she gets $6.00 off so her advanced order will cost 60 - 6 = $54.00. The answer is 54.

Q: Bailey needs to buy 2 new sets of towels for the guest bathroom and 4 new sets for her master bathroom. The set of towels for the guest bathroom are $40.00 each and the master bathroom set is $50.00 each. The store is currently offering 20% off so how much will Bailey spend on towel sets?
A:
She needs 2 sets of guest towels that are $40.00 each so that's 2 * 40 = $80.00. She needs 4 sets of master bath towels that are $50.00 each so that's 4 * 50 = $200.00. Together, the towels will cost 80 + 200 = $280.00. The store is offering 20% off of her $280.00 towels so that's 280 * .20 = $56.00 discount. Her $280.00 towels have a $56.00 discount making them 280 - 56 = $224.00. The answer is 224.
