Answer this question:Janet likes collecting action figures in her spare time. She currently owns 10 action figures and sells 6 of them to get 4 that are in better condition. Her brother then gives her his collection which is twice the size of what Janet has at the time. How many action figures does she now have in total?
Janet has 10 action figures and sells 6 so she has 10 - 6 = 4 action figures left. She then buys four more so she now has 4 + 4 = 8 action figures. Her brother gives her his collection which is 2 * 8 = 16 action figures. Now in total, she has 8 + 16 = 24 action figures.
The answer is 24.

Answer this question:The chicken crossed the road to get to the other side twice for the thrill of it. The first time, it had to dodge 23 speeding cars. The second time, a person tried to catch it and accidentally pulled out twice as many feathers as the number of cars the chicken had dodged. The chicken had 5263 feathers before its thrill-seeking road crossings. How many feathers did it have afterward?
The chicken lost 23 * 2 = 46 feathers on its second road crossing. Thus, it had 5263 - 46 = 5217 feathers after crossing the road twice.
The answer is 5217.

Answer this question:Ed and Jacob already had 2 shells in their shell collection. Then they went to the beach to collect even more. Ed found 7 limpet shells, 2 oyster shells, and 4 conch shells. Jacob found 2 more shells than Ed did. How many shells do the pair have altogether?
Ed found 7 shells + 2 shells + 4 shells = 13 shells at the beach. Jacob found 13 shells + 2 shells = 15 shells at the beach. In total Ed and Jacob have 2 shells + 13 shells + 15 shells = 30 shells.
The answer is 30.
