Answer this question:In a classroom of 81 students, two-thirds are wearing striped shirts while the others are wearing checkered shirts. If there are 19 more students wearing shorts than checkered shirts, how many more students are wearing striped shirts than shorts?
81 / 3 = 27 students are wearing checkered shirts. 27 x 2 = 54 students are wearing striped shirts. 27 + 19 = 46 students are wearing shorts. 54 - 46 = 8 more students are wearing striped shirts than shorts.
The answer is 8.

Answer this question:A farmer has 46 chickens. Each chicken gives him 6 eggs a week. If he sells a dozen eggs for $3, how much money would he make in 8 weeks?
The farmer gets 46 x 6 = 276 eggs a week. That gives him 276 / 12 = 23 dozen eggs. In one week, he makes 23 x 3 = $69. In 8 weeks, he makes $69 x 8 = $552.
The answer is 552.

Answer this question:The total average age of three friends is 40. Jared is ten years older than Hakimi, and Molly's age is 30. How old is Hakimi?
The total age for the three friends is 40 * 3 = 120. If Molly's age is 30, then Jared and Hakimi have a total age of 120 - 30 = 90. Let's say the age of Hakimi is x. Since Jared is 10 years older than Hakimi, Jared is x + 10 years old. Jared and Hakimi's total age is x + (x + 10) = 90. This translates to 2x = 90 - 10. 2x = 80. Hakimi's age is x = 80 / 2. This gives us x = 40, which is Hamkimi's age.
The answer is 40.
