Under 30: 40(.10) = 4. 30 - 50 years old:40(.60) = 24. Over 50:40 - 4 - 24 = 12 Judges.
The answer: 12
Reverse engineering the question: There are 40 Judges in the state of Rhode Island. 10 percent of Judges are under 30 years old. 60 percent of Judges are 30-50 years old. The rest of the Judges are over 50 years old. How many Judges are over 50 years old?
Reasoning and answer: Hannah's earnings from the cookies is 40 x $0.8 = $32. Her earnings from the cupcakes is 30 x $2 = $60. Her total earnings for the cupcakes and cookies is $32 + $60 = $92. The cost of 2 sets of measuring spoons is 2 x $6.5 = $13. So, Hannah has $92 - $13 = $79.
The answer: 79

Reasoning and answer: After first hour, 50 * 2 = 100 ants. After the second hour, 100 * 2 = 200 ants. After the third hour, 200 * 2 = 400 ants. After the fourth hour, 400 * 2 = 800 ants. After the fifth hour, 800 * 2 = 1600 ants.
The answer: 1600

Reasoning and 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.
The answer: 46
