Q: Claudia has 122 ounces of water and is filling up cups. She has 8-ounce glasses, 5-ounce glasses, and 4-ounce glasses. If she fills six 5 ounce glasses and four 8 ounce glasses, how many 4 ounce glasses can she fill with the remaining water?
A: She has used 32 ounces on 8 - ounce glasses because 4 x 8 = 32. She has used 30 ounces on the 5 - ounce glasses because 6 x 5 = 30. She has used 62 ounces in total because 32 + 30 = 62. She has 60 ounces left because 122 - 62 = 60. She can fill fifteen four - ounce glasses because 60 / 4 = 15. The answer is 15.

Q: Henley bought 300 candies and shared them with her two brothers. However, they realized 40% of them were sour, and they had to separate those out. If they then shared the good candies equally, how many candies did each get?
A:
If the number of candies was 300, and 40% percent were sour, then there were 40 / 100 * 300 = 120 sour candies. The number of good candies was 300 - 120 = 180. The number of people who received candy is Henley, 1 + 2 brothers = 3 people. if they divided the good candies equally, each person got 180 / 3 = 60 candies. The answer is 60.
