Dressy Bessy
Evie has an ear infection :( We missed dinner at Jo's house last night, but she's better already after starting antibiotics last night. No more fever. Which is good because tonight is the annual VMWare Company Prom!!! It is the only reason I have to get dressed up fancy every year. Since I have 126,004 vintage cocktail and evening dresses I need at least ONE reason to get fancied up per year.
Here is a simple word problem: If Jenna has 126,004 vintage evening and cocktail dresses, 47% of which are a vintage size 18, 23% are a vintage size 16 and 30% are a vintage size 10, how many years must she stay a modern size 10 in order to wear the ones that fit, if she wears them at a rate of two dresses per week?
The correct answer is below this sentence, typed in white. Highlight between the quotations to see it, but only when you are done with your calculations. No cheating!
