Question: Vanessa's new business is thriving and she frequently has orders to post. She has run out of packing peanuts for the packages and is now wondering how many orders she has sent. Each large order needs 200g of packing peanuts while small orders need just 50g of packing peanuts. If Lisa has used a total of 800g of packing peanuts and she knows she has sent 3 large orders, how many small orders has Lisa sent?
Answer: In the large orders, Lisa used 3 large orders * 200g of packing peanuts per large order = 600g of packing peanuts. The rest of the packing peanuts were used in small orders so there was a total of 800g packing peanuts - 600g of packing peanuts used in large orders = 200g of packing peanuts used in small orders. So there must have been 200g of packing peanuts / 50g of packing peanuts per small order = 4 small orders. The answer is 4.

Question: 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?
Answer:
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.
