ANSWER
P=8,Q=16
EXPLANATION
We can see from the table that both pattern P and Q have an initial value of 24.
Pattern P is reducing by a constant difference of 4.
The next value for pattern P is
12-4=8.
Also pattern Q is reducing by a constant value of 2.
The next value for pattern Q is,
18-2=16
The answer is equal to 300.

_________
$758.00
So, to do this first we start at the far right and go to the left.
$947.50 - $189.50_________
$ .00
0-0= 0
5-5= 0
You then bring down the decimal.
$947.50 - $189.50_________
$ 8 .00
Because you cannot subtract 9 from 7, you borrow one from the number to the left of it and 7 turns into a 17 as 4 turns into a 3. So then, 17-9=8.
17
$93-7-.50 -7- = This means the 7 has been canceled out and turned - $189.50 into the 17 above _________ 8 .00
This happens again with subtracting 3 from 8 in which you take one from the number beside which happens to be 9 and make it 8.
17
$8-3--7-.50 -7- and -3- = This means the 7 has been canceled out and turned into the 17 above
- $189.50 _________ $ 58 .00
So then, 13-8=5. Finally 8-1= 7
$947.50
- $189.50
_________
$758.00
