Answer this question:Sunnyvale School was having a picnic. They wanted to make fruit punch. They had 4.5 liters of orange punch. They had twice as much cherry punch as orange punch and 1.5 liters less of apple juice than cherry punch. When they combined all of the fruit juices together, how many liters of fruit punch did they have?
Orange = 4.5 L. Cherry = 2 * 4.5 = 9 L. Apple = 9 - 1.5 = 7.5 L. Total punch = 4.5 + 9 + 7.5 = 21 L. They had 21 liters of fruit punch for the picnic.

Answer this question:Alex is stacking his books in a pyramid. Each level of the pyramid has 80% as many books as the number of books in the previous level. If he makes four levels and the top level has 64 books, how many books are in the pyramid in total?
The third level has 80 books because 64 / .8 = 80. The second level has 100 books because 80 / .8 = 100. The first level has 125 books because 100 / .8 = 125. In total there are 369 books because 64 + 80 + 100 + 125 = 369.
The answer is 369.
