[Question]Julia collects old watches. She owns 20 silver watches, and three times as many bronze watches. She decided to buy gold watches to add to her collection, a number that represents 10% of all the watches she owns. How many watches does Julia own after this purchase?
[Answer]Julia owns 3 * 20 = 60 bronze watches. 60 + 20 = 80 total silver and bronze watches. 10% of all Julia's watches is 80 * 10 / 100 = 8 watches, and she decided to buy so many gold watches. So in total Julia is in possession of 20 + 60 + 8 = 88 watches. The answer is 88.

Question: Amara had 100 pieces of clothing but started donating her clothes to others. She donated 5 to one orphanage home and triple that to another orphanage home. If she decides to throw away 15 of her old clothes, how many pieces of clothing does she have remaining?
Answer: Amara donates 5 + 5 * 3 = 5 + 15 = 20 pieces of clothing. After donating she is left with 100 - 20 = 80 pieces. After throwing away some clothes, she is left with 80 - 15 = 65 pieces. The answer is 65.
[Question]Kiki likes to spend her money on hats and scarves. When she buys twice as many hats as scarves, she spends 60% of her money on hats and the rest on scarves. If she currently has $90, how many scarves will she buy if they are sold at $2 each?
[Answer]Kiki spends 60 / 100 * $90 = $54 of her money on hats. The amount she spends on buying scarves is $90 - $54 = $36. If each scarf is sold at $2, Kiki will buy $36 / $2 = 18 scarves. The answer is 18.
