Answer this 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?
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.

Answer this question:Fern buys one pair of high heels for $60 and five pairs of ballet slippers for 2/3rds of the price of the high heels. How much does she pay total?
First find the cost of one pair of ballet slippers: $60 * 2 / 3 = $40. Then find the total cost of the ballet slippers: $40 / pair * 5 pairs = $200. Then add that amount to the cost of the high heels to find the total cost: $200 + $60 = $260.
The answer is 260.

Answer this question:A certain tree was 100 meters tall at the end of 2017. It will grow 10% more than its previous height each year. How long has the tree grown from 2017 until the end of 2019?
At the end of 2018, the tree will grow 100 x 10 / 100 = 10 meters more. Thus, its height at the end of 2018 is 100 + 10 = 110 meters. At the end of 2019, the tree will grow 110 x 10 / 100 = 11 meters more. So, its height at the end of 2019 is 110 + 11 = 121 meters. Therefore, the tree has grown 121 - 100 = 21 meters.
The answer is 21.
