Q: Mrs. Young buys a 300 piece puzzle set for her three sons. She divides the pieces evenly to the three boys. Reyn can place 25 pieces into the puzzle picture. Rhys places twice as much as Reyn. Rory places three times as much as Reyn. Altogether, how many puzzle pieces are still left to be placed?
A: Each son receives 300 / 3 = 100 pieces. Rhys places 25 x 2 = 50 pieces. Rory places 25 x 3 = 75 pieces. All three boys place 25 + 50 + 75 = 150 pieces. The boys have not placed 300 - 150 = 150 pieces. The answer is 150.

Q: A spiral notebook costs $15, and a personal planner costs $10. How much would it cost in total to buy 4 spiral notebooks and 8 personal planners at a 20% discount?
A:
If a spiral notebook cost $15, a 20% discount would reduce the price by 20 / 100 * 15 = $3. At a 20% discount, the buying price of a spiral notebook book is $15 - $3 = $12. At the same discount, a personal planner cost would reduce by 20 / 100 * $10 = $2. The new buying price of a personal planner will be $10 - $2 = $8. To buy four spiral notebooks at a 20% discount, you'll pay 4 * $12 = $48. At the same time discount, you'll buy eight personal planners at a cost pf 8 * $8 = 64. In total, to buy eight personal planners and four spiral notebooks, you'd have to pay $64 + $48 = $112. The answer is 112.
