Question: Betty & Paige are raising money for their kids' little league team by hosting a bake sale. Betty has baked 4 dozen chocolate chip cookies, 6 dozen oatmeal raisin cookies and 2 dozen regular brownies. Paige baked 6 dozen sugar cookies, 3 dozen blondies and 5 dozen cream cheese swirled brownies. If they sell the cookies for $1.00 apiece and the blondies/brownies at $2.00 apiece, how much money will they raise?
Answer: Together, they made 4 + 6 + 6 dozen cookies for a total of 16 dozen cookies. One dozen equals 12 cookies, so 12 * 16 = 192 cookies. Together, they made 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 dozen blondies / brownies. One dozen equals 12 brownies so 12 * 10 = 120 blondies / brownies. They sold the cookies for $1.00 each so 1(192 = $192.00 in cookies. They sold the blondies / brownies for $2.00 each so 2 * 120 = $240 in blondies / brownies. Together, they made 192 + 240 = $432.00 for the little league team. The answer is 432.

Q: The price of an iPhone fell 10% in a particular month and another 20% in the second month. If the initial price was $1000, calculate the price after the second month.
A: In the first month, the price of the iPhone fell by 10 / 100 * $1000 = $100. The new price after the first month is $1000 - $100 = $900. In the second month, the price fell 20% further by 20 / 100 * $900 = $180. The new price after the second month is $900 - $180 = $720. The answer is 720.
