Question: Kyle has a newspaper-delivery route. Every Monday through Saturday, he delivers the daily paper for the 100 houses on his route. On Sunday, 10 of his customers do not get the Sunday paper, but he delivers 30 papers to other houses that get the newspaper only on Sunday. How many papers does Kyle deliver each week?
Answer: He delivers 6 * 100 = 600 papers. On Sunday, he delivers an additional 100 - 10 + 30 = 120 papers. He delivers a total of 600 + 120 = 720 papers each week. The answer is 720.

Q: Barry, Thomas and Emmanuel are to share a jar of 200 jelly beans. If Thomas takes 10%, and Barry and Emmanuel are to share the remainder in the ratio 4:5 respectively, how many jelly beans will Emmanuel get?
A: 10% of 200 jelly beans is (10 / 100) * 200 = 20 jelly beans. Thomas takes 20 jelly beans leaving 200 - 20 = 180 jelly beans. 180 jelly beans are to be shared in the ratio 4:5 so each share is 180 / (4 + 5) = 20 jelly beans. Emmanuel gets 5 shares which is 5 * 20 = 100. The answer is 100.
Question: Tom was putting hardwood flooring into his living room that measured 16' long and 20' wide. The flooring comes 10 sq ft per box and he has already put down 250 sq ft of flooring. How many more boxes does Tom need to complete the job?
Answer: The entire sq ft of the living room is LxW so the room is 16x20 = 320 sq ft. Tom has already put down 250 sq ft so he needs to put down 320 - 250 = 70 sq ft of flooring. The boxes contain 10 sq ft of flooring per box and he needs 70 more sq ft of flooring so he needs 70 / 10 = 7 more boxes. The answer is 7.
