We have a question: Melody planted sunflowers from two different seed packets. She found that the sunflowers from Packet A were 20% taller than the sunflowers from Packet B. If the sunflowers from Packet A were 192 inches tall, how tall were the sunflowers from Packet B?
And an answer: 160
So how you got the answer?
The height of the sunflowers from Packet A is the same as the height of the sunflowers from Packet B + 20%. If Y represents the height of the sunflowers from Packet B, Y + 0.20Y = the height of sunflowers from Packet A. We know the height of the sunflowers from Packet A is 192 inches = Y + 0.20Y or 1.2Y. To figure out Y, we would divide both sides of the equation by 1.2, like this: 192 / 1.2 = 1.2Y / 1.2 or 160 = Y.

We have a question: Alex makes luxury dresses out of silk. Each dress needs 5 meters of silk and Alex has 600 meters of silk in storage. His friends also want to learn how to make these dresses so Alex gives all 5 of them 20 meters of silk each. He uses the rest to make dresses himself. How many dresses can Alex make?
And an answer: 100
So how you got the answer?
Alex gives his friends a total of 5 friends * 20 meters of silk = 100 meters of silk. This means he has 600 100 = 500 meters of silk left in storage. He can therefore make 500 meters of silk / 5 meters of silk per dress = 100 dresses.

We have a question: Emery looks through the drawer where her mom keeps the cookie cutters. There are 6 cookie cutters shaped like triangles, 4 square ones and 2 hexagons. How many sides are there on the cookie cutters in total?
And an answer: 46
So how you got the answer?
The 6 triangles have 3 sides each, for a total of 6 * 3 = 18 sides. The 4 squares have 4 sides each, for a total of 4 * 4 = 16 sides. The 2 hexagons have 6 sides each, for a total of 2 * 6 = 12 sides. The total numbers of sides is 18 + 16 + 12 = 46 sides.
