Q: A year ago, the total cost of buying a lawnmower was 2/5 times less than the cost it goes for now. If the cost was $1800 a year ago, calculate how much it would cost Mr. Lucian to buy 4 such lawnmowers.
A: If the price of a lawnmower was $1800 a year ago, 2 / 5 less than the cost right now, then it now costs 2 / 5 * 1800 = $720 more to buy one lawnmower. The total cost of buying one lawnmower right now is $1800 + $720 = $2520. To purchase 4 such lawnmowers, Mr. Lucian will have to pay $2520 * 4 = $10080. The answer is 10080.

Q: Anderson makes mud masks for spa treatments. In every batch of mud that he mixes, he adds three sprigs of mint, and he adds two green tea leaves for every sprig of mint. He had to switch to a different kind of mud, which makes the other ingredients he adds half as effective. How many green tea leaves should Anderson add to a new batch of mud to get the same efficacy as before?
A:
Anderson adds 3 * 2 = 6 green tea leaves in every batch of mud. They are half as effective in the new mud, so Anderson should ad 6 * 2 = 12 green tea leaves to get the same efficacy as before. The answer is 12.
