Q: To play Solitaire, you will need a traditional 52-card pack of standard playing cards. Open your pack and discard the instruction and Joker cards. Before you start dealing, shuffle the cards a couple of times to make sure that the deck is all mixed up. Deal the first card and place it face up on your left-hand side. Then, deal six more cards face-down in a row to the right of this card so that each card has its own spot.  When you are finished, you should have seven cards total. The first one on the left should be facing up and the other six should be facing down. The cards that you are dealing are called your “Tableau.” These are the main cards that you will use to play solitaire. When you are finished dealing all of the cards, your Tableau will look similar to an upside down staircase. Next, you will need to deal six more cards onto the stacks. Place the first card face up on the second stack of cards from the left. Then, deal one card face down card onto each of the stacks moving to the right. Starting with the third stack over from the left, deal one card face up. Then, deal four more cards facing down on each of the stacks to the right of this stack. Starting with the fourth stack over from the left, deal one card face up onto this stack and then deal three cards facing down. Place one card onto each of the stacks to the right of this stack. Count over to the fifth card from the left in your row of seven card stacks. Deal one card facing up on this stack and then deal one card facing down onto each of the two stacks to the right. Next, count over to the sixth stack from the left and deal one card facing up onto this stack. Then, deal one card facing down onto the stack to the right of this stack. This stack should be the last one in your row of seven. There should only be one stack left that does not have a face up card on it. This stack should be all the way on the right of your Tableau. Deal one card onto this stack facing up. Now this stack should have six cards facing down and one on top that is facing up. After you have dealt this last card, your Tableau is complete! Dealing the Tableau is the hardest part of setting up solitaire, so the next part will be easy.
A: Shuffle the deck. Deal seven cards in a row. Skip the first card and then deal six cards. Count over to the third card and then deal five cards. Deal four cards starting with the fourth stack. Skip the first four cards and deal three. Count over to the sixth card and then deal two. Deal one last card face up.

Q: These are little balls filled with seeds. You leave them in bare areas, and the seeds will sprout, leaving plants growing in the area. Use plants native to your area so you don't encourage new species that will try to take over.  Mix 1⁄2 ounce (14 g) of native wildflower seeds with 3.5 ounces (99 g) of potting soil. Add in 1.5 ounces (43 g) of dry clay, such as red powdered pottery clay. Mix the ingredients together. Slowly add in water until you have a thick paste. Roll the paste into balls, and let it dry on a cookie sheet covered in wax paper. Leave the balls in areas where the ground is bare. The balls will break down and sprout plants when it rains. Have everyone bring in t-shirts or buy enough thrift store t-shirts for everyone. Cut the sleeves off the shirt, and then cut around the inside of the neck. The bits you have left at the top are the handles.  Turn the shirt inside-out. Mark a line across the bottom that's about 4 inches (10 cm) up from the bottom. Cut strips that are 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide by cutting up until you reach the line. Tie each set of 2 strips together, one each from the front and the back. Then go back and tie each set together by taking one strand from one set and one from the next set and knotting them together. Turn the bag inside-out again. Start with an empty toilet paper roll or paper towel roll. Poke a hole in both sides of the tube at the top, and run a string through them. Tie the string above the roll. Using a butter knife, coat the roll in peanut butter. Coat the tube in bird seed by rolling it in a plate filled with seed. Hang your bird feeder outside using the string. Start by making strips from plastic bags. Lay a bag out flat and cut the top off, including the handles. Cut the bag horizontally into strips. Tie the strips together. You'll need 12 long strips, and they should be a bit longer than you want your jump rope to be. Tape 6 strips together on one end.  Tape the 6 strips to the back of a chair, and braid them together. Tape the other end. Do the same with the other 6 strips. Tape the other end. Pull them off the chair. Tape the 2 sets together on one end, and then tape it back to the chair. Twist the 2 braids tightly together, and then tape them together at the other end. The tape forms the handles for the jump rope. Pull the taped end off the chair.
A: Create seed balls to spread around. Turn old t-shirts into bags. Create bird feeders. Make jump ropes from plastic bags.

Q: "If a shirt that costs $40 is reduced to $32, what percentage of a discount is this?" " The amount that exists after the percentage has been applied can also be called the "new amount". For our question, we do not know the percent. We know that $40 is the original, and that's $32 is the "after." Make sure the "after amount" goes into the calculator first.  For our example, type 32, hit divide, type 40, hit equals. This division gives us: 0.8. (It's not the final answer.) For our sample problem, 0.8 changes to 80%. If your answer is smaller than 100%, you have a decrease or discount; larger than 100% is an increase.  Because the price in the example dropped, and the price that we calculated is also a discount, we're on the right path. If the price in the example dropped from $40 to $32, however, and we got 120% after our calculation, we'd know that something is wrong because we're looking for a discount and we got an increase. Figure out how much above or below 100% you are and this will be your final answer.  In our sample problem, 80% compared to 100% means that we had a discount of 20%. To get the hang of things, read the prompt and see if you understand how to finish the following problems:  Problem #1: "A $50 blouse is now $28.  What was the percentage of discount?"  To solve it, grab a calculator. Enter '28,' hit divide, enter '50,' hit equals; the answer is 0.56. Convert '0.56' to '56%'. Compare this number to 100%, subtracting '56' from '100', leaving us with a discount of 44%.   Problem #2: "A $12 baseball cap is $15 after tax.  What was the sales tax percentage?"  To solve it, grab a calculator. Enter '15', hit divide, enter '12', hit equals; the answer is 1.25. Convert '1.25' to '125%'. Compare this to 100%, subtracting '100' from '125', leaving us with an increase of 25%.
A:
Use the perfect percentage method for the following sorts of problems: Decide which number represents the original amount and which represents the "after amount. Divide the "after amount" by the original amount. Move the decimal point two places to the right to change it from a decimal to a percent. Compare that percentage to 100%. Compare your percentage to 100%. Practice on the following examples.
