Ten percent of Jonessa's pay goes to paying tax. If her pay is $500, how much is her take-home pay?

Ten percent of $500 is $500 x 10/100 = $

<<500*10/100=50>>50. Hence, Jonessa's take-home pay is $500 - $50 = $<<500-50=450>>450. #### 450 Jill bought 5 packs of red bouncy balls and 4 packs of yellow bouncy balls. Each package contained 18 bouncy balls. How many more red bouncy balls than yellow bouncy balls did Jill buy? Jill bought 5 packs * 18 red balls = <<5*18=90>>90 red balls. Jill bought 4 packs * 18 yellow balls = <<4*18=72>>72 red balls. Jill had 90 red – 72 yellow = <<90-72=18>>18 more red balls. #### 18 Enrique earns a 15% commission on every piece of clothing item he sells.

Katarina ran 51 miles. Tomas, Tyler, and Harriet all ran the same distance. How many miles did Harriet run? 195 - 51 = 144 = miles the 3 runners ran 144/3 = <<144/3=48>>48 miles Harriet ran <<48=48>>48 miles. #### 48 The kindergartners each need to bring one mini tissue box to class for the school year. There are three kindergartner groups with 9, 10, and 11 students respectively. Each mini tissue box contains 40 tissues. How many tissues do the kindergartner groups bring together? There are a total of 9 + 10 + 11 = <<9+10+11=30>>30 kindergartners. Altogether, they bring a total of 30 x 40 = <<30*40=1200>>1200 tissues. #### 1200 In 10 years, Cornelia will be three times as old as Kilee. If Kilee is currently 20 years old, how old is Cornelia now? In 10 years, Kilee will be 20 years + 10 years = 30 years. In ten years, Cornelia will be 3 * 30 years = <<3*30=90>>90 years old. Cornelia is currently 90 years - 10 years = <<90-10=80>>80 years old #### 80 Linda owns a store. She sells jeans at 11 dollars each and tees at 8 dollars each. If she sold 7 tees and 4 jeans in a day, how much money, in dollars, did she have at the end of the day? 7 tees cost 7*8=<<7*8=56>>56 dollars. 4 jeans cost 4*11=<<4*11=44>>44 dollars. Linda had 56+44=<<56+44=100>>100 dollars in the end. #### 100 Maddie bought 2 packs of white T-shirts and 4 packs of blue T-shirts for her basketball team. The white T-shirts come in packs of 5, and the blue T-shirts come in packs of 3. Each T-shirt cost $3. How much did Maddie spend in all? The number of white T-shirts is 2 × 5 = <<2*5=10>>10. The number of blue T-shirts is 4 × 3 = <<4*3=12>>12. The total number of T-shirts is 10 + 12 = <<10+12=22>>22. Maddie spent $3 × 22 = $<<3*22=66>>66 in all. #### 66 In a classroom there are 30 students. 1/3 of them are boys. Among the girls, 40% own dogs, 20% own a cat, and the rest have no pets. How many girls in the class have no pet? 2/3 students are girls because 1 - (1/3) = 2/3 20 students are girls because 30 x (2/3) = <<30*(2/3)=20>>20 40% of the girls don't have any pets because 100 - 40 - 20 = <<100-40-20=40>>40 8 girls in class have no pets because 20 x .4 = <<20*.4=8>>8 #### 8 If a bunny comes out of its burrow 3 times per minute, calculate the combined number of times 20 bunnies at the same pace will have come out of their burrows in 10 hours. If a bunny comes out of its hole three times in a minute, in an hour, with 60 minutes, the bunny will come out of the hole 60*3=<<60*3=180>>180 times. In 10 hours, a bunny will come out of their hole 180*10=<<180*10=1800>>1800 times. The combined time that 20 bunnies coming out of their holes will have taken in 10 hours is 1800*20=<<1800*20=36000>>36000 times. #### 36000
