Question: Lisa is a member of the photography club at school. Every weekend the club will go anywhere to take photos. Leslie took 10 photos of animals to share with the club. She also took 3 times as many photos of flowers as animals and took 10 fewer scenery than the flowers. If Lisa took 15 fewer photos last weekend, How many photos did she take then?
Answer: Lisa took 10 x 3 = 30 photos of flowers. She took 30 - 10 = 20 photos of the scenery. So, Lisa took 10 + 30 + 20 = 60 photos this week. Therefore, Lisa took 60 - 15 = 45 photos last weekend. The answer is 45.

[Question]Stephanie is checking her household budget, and needs to calculate how much she has left to pay for her bills. Her electricity bill costs $60, and this is paid in full. Her gas bill was $40, and she has already paid three-quarters of this. She makes another payment of $5 towards her gas bill while checking her budget. Her water bill is $40, which she has paid half of, and her internet bill is $25, which she has made 4 payments of $5 towards. Overall, how many dollars does Stephanie still need to pay to finish paying her bills?
[Answer]Stephanie has paid three - quarters of her gas bill, which is 40 * 0.75 = $30. She then made another payment, which means she has paid 30 + 5 = $35 of her gas bill. She has paid half of her water bill, which is 40 * 0.5 = $20. She has made 4 payments towards her internet bill, which is a total of 4 * 5 = $20. Overall, her bills were 60 + 40 + 40 + 25 = $165. Overall, she has made payments of 60 + 35 + 20 + 20 = $135. Therefore, she still has to pay 165 135 = $30. The answer is 30.
[Question]Hortense loves daisies and sunflowers. She planted 25 daisy seeds and 25 sunflower seeds in her flower bed. If 60% of the daisy seeds germinate, and 80% of the sunflower seeds germinate, and 80% of the resulting plants produce flowers, how many plants will she grow that produce flowers?
[Answer]
At a germination rate of 60%, 25 seeds will yield 60 / 100 * 25 = 15 plants. At a germination rate of 80%, 25 seeds will yield 80 / 100 * 25 = 20 plants. In total, she will have grown 15 + 20 = 35 plants. If 80% of the plants developed flowers, then she will have grown (80 / 100) * 35 = 28 plants that produce flowers. The answer is 28.
