Thus, it drops 34 * 4 = <<34*4=136>>136 leaves over the first four days.
Therefore, it drops 340 - 136 = <<340-136=204>>204 leaves on the fifth day.
#### 204 | In the fall, a tree drops a tenth of its initial quantity of leaves each day over the course of four days, then abruptly drops the rest on the fifth day. |

Her company matches her $100.00 by 6% so they contribute 100*.06 = $<<100*.06=6.00>>6.00 every paycheck
Over a year, the company contributes $6.00 to her 401k with every paycheck so they contribute 6*26 = $<<6*26=156.00>>156.00
Holly puts $2,600.00 into her 401k annually and her company contributes $156.00 annually so she has 2600+156 = $<<2600+156=2756>>2,756 in her 401k

The window is 6 ft. * 4 ft. = <<6*4=24>>24 sq. ft.
The closet door is 5 ft. * 7 ft. = <<5*7=35>>35 sq. ft.
The total area of the doors and windows is 21 sq. ft + 24 sq. ft. + 35 sq. ft. = <<21+24+35=80>>80 sq. ft.
The solid wall is 160 sq. ft., so before the areas of the doors and window are taken into account, the total wall area is 4 * 160 sq. ft. = <<4*160=640>>640 sq. ft.
Taking into account the doors and window, the total wall area Linda will have to paint is 640 sq. ft. - 80 sq. ft. = <<640-80=560>>560 sq. ft.

During these first 20 days, the total number of pollywogs removed was 60*20=<<60*20=1200>>1200 pollywogs.
This means after 20 days there were 2400-1200=<<2400-1200=1200>>1200 pollywogs left in the pond.
At a disappearance rate of rate 50 pollywogs per day, it will take an additional 1200/50=<<1200/50=24>>24 days for the rest of the pollywogs to disappear from the pond.
Thus, overall, it will take 20+24=<<20+24=44>>44 days for all of the pollywogs to disappear from the pond.
#### 44 | Elmer has a pond that initially contained 2400 pollywogs, but these pollywogs matured into toads and left the pond at a constant rate of 50 pollywogs per day.

The second issue is the same number of pages, so the first and second issues are P + P = 2P pages.
The third issue is 4 pages longer, so it is P + 4 pages.
All three issues are 2P + P + 4 = 3P + 4 = 220 pages long.
Thus, 3P = 220 - 4 = 216 pages.
Therefore, the first issue of the comic was P = 216 / 3 = <<216/3=72>>72 pages.
#### 72 | Trevor is a comic book illustrator. In the past three months, he has drawn 220 pages of the comic. The comic he illustrates releases a new issue once a month.

If John has twice the number of children that her sister has and Gabriel has six grandkids, how many children does Yasmin have? | We don't know Yasmin's number of children yet, but let's represent it as Y.
If John has twice the number of children Yasmin has, then John has 2*Y = 2Y kids
If Gabriel has 6 grandkids between John's and Yasmin's children, then we can represent this as 6 = 2Y + Y
If we solve the latest equation then we learn that 6=3Y
Given that Y represents how many kids Yasmin has, then solving for Y we know that Y=6/3 or Y=2 kids

She has to earn $60 more dollars because 150 - 90 = <<150-90=60>>60
