Hortense loves daisies and sunflowers. She planted 25 daisy seeds and 25 sunflower seeds in her flower bed. If 60% of the daisy seeds germinate, and 80% of the sunflower seeds germinate, and 80% of the resulting plants produce flowers, how many plants will she grow that produce flowers?
Let's think: At a germination rate of 60%, 25 seeds will yield 60 / 100 * 25 = 15 plants. At a germination rate of 80%, 25 seeds will yield 80 / 100 * 25 = 20 plants. In total, she will have grown 15 + 20 = 35 plants. If 80% of the plants developed flowers, then she will have grown (80 / 100) * 35 = 28 plants that produce flowers.. The answer is: 28.

Emilia needs 42 cartons of berries to make a berry cobbler. She already has 2 cartons of strawberries and 7 cartons of blueberries in her cupboard. She decides to go to the supermarket to get more cartons. How many more cartons of berries should Emilia buy?
Let's think: She previously had 2 cartons + 7 cartons = 9 cartons of berries. Emilia needs to buy 42 cartons - 9 cartons = 33 cartons of berries.. The answer is: 33.

James takes 20 units per semester at community college. If each unit costs $50 how much does he pay for 2 semesters?

It takes David 10 minutes to wash 4 windows. David's house has 64 windows. How many minutes will it take David to wash all of the windows?
Let's think:
It takes 10 minutes to wash 4 windows and he has 64 windows so that breaks down to 64 / 4 = 16 units. It takes 10 minutes to wash a unit of windows and he has 16 units so 10 * 16 = 160 minutes.. The answer is: 160.
