Question: Three plastic chairs cost as much as a portable table. Five plastic chairs cost $55. If Manny wants to buy one portable table and two chairs, how much will be left in his $100?
Answer: Each plastic chair costs $55 / 5 = $11. Two chairs cost $11 x 2 = $22. A portable table costs $11 x 3 = $33. Manny has to pay a total of $22 + $33 = $55. Thus, Manny will be left with $100 - $55 = $45. The answer is 45.
[Question]In a glee club, there are two times as many female than male members. How many female members are there if there are 18 members in the club?
