[Question]The average score on last week's Spanish test was 90. Marco scored 10% less than the average test score and Margaret received 5 more points than Marco. What score did Margaret receive on her test?
[Answer]The average test score was 90 and Marco scored 10% less so 90 * .10 = 9 points lower. The average test score was 90 and Marco scored 9 points less so his test score was 90 - 9 = 81. Margret received 5 more points than Marco whose test score was 81 so she made 5 + 81 = 86 on her test. The answer is 86.
Q: Josh gets together with 7 friends. Everyone including him puts 5 dollars into a pot. First place gets 80% of the money. Second and third place split the rest. How much money does third place get?
A: 7 + 1 = 8 people threw money into the pot. So the amount of money in the pot is 8 * 5 = $40. First place gets 40 * .8 = $32. So there is 40 - 32 = $8 left in the pot after first place gets his cut. So third place gets 8 / 2 = $4. The answer is 4.
