Spring Garden Planning

Today I started to plan my garden. The rectangular garden where I am going to plant is three feet longer than it is wide.

One third of the garden area will be sunflowers.

Another quarter will be planted with brow-eyed susans.

Only a fifth of my garden will contain columbine.

A sixth of my garden will be filled with trillium.

The rest will be foxgloves.

Subway Tokens

Samantha purchased subway tokens from a machine. The instructions said that, for any amount of money you insert, you would receive the maximum number of tokens your money can purchase, along with your change.

Samantha put a $20 bill into the machine. She received 12 tokens and $2.60 in change.
