My question is: Samira is the assistant coach of a soccer team playing against one of the best teams in their league. She has four dozen water bottles filled with water in a box. In the first break of the match, the 11 players on the field each take two bottles of water from Samira's box, and at the end of the game, take one more bottle each. How many bottles of water are remaining in Samira's box? Your thoughts:
If the box has four dozen bottles of water, there are 4 * 12 = 48 bottles of water in the box. After the first half, the 11 players take 11 * 2 = 22 bottles of water from the box. If they take 11 more bottles of water at the end of the game, the number increases to 22 + 11 = 33 bottles of water taken. Without the bottles taken, there are 48 - 33 = 15 bottles of water remaining in the box. The final answer: 15.
