Question: Eric has 4 ninja throwing stars. His friend Chad has twice as many. Then Jeff bought 2 ninja stars from Chad. Jeff now has 6 throwing stars. How many ninja throwing stars do they have altogether?
Answer: We know Eric has 4 stars and Chad has twice that amount, so Chad has 4 x 2 = 8 stars. Then Chad sells 2 of them to Jeff, so Chad has 8 – 2 = 6 stars. Altogether, Eric has 4 + Chad has 6 + Jeff has 6 = 16 stars. The answer is 16.
[Question]Lucy has been trying new recipes and wants to make sure she keeps the cupboard stocked with ingredients. She had a 500g bag of flour in the cupboard at the start of the week. She used 240g when she baked cookies on Tuesday, and accidentally spilled half of what was left when she was putting the flour away. If Lucy wants a full bag of flour in the cupboard, how much flour does she need to buy, in grams?
[Answer]After baking cookies, Lucy had 500 – 240 = 260g of flour left. She accidentally spilled half of this, which means she had 260 * 0.5 = 130g of flour left. She therefore needs 500 – 130 = 370g of flour. The answer is 370.
Q: Bob grew corn in his garden this year and ended up with 50 bushels. This is way too much for him to eat, so he gave some of it away to his friends. His friend Terry took 8 bushels, while Jerry only took 3. He gave 12 bushels to his friend Linda, who runs a food pantry. His neighbor Stacy doesn't eat much corn, but she still accepted 21 ears of corn from him. If each bushel contained 14 ears of corn, how many ears of corn does Bob have left?
A: Stacy took 21 ears of corn, there are 14 ears to a bushel, so she took 21 ears / 14 ears / bushel = 1.5 bushels of corn. In all, Bob gave away 8 bushels + 3 bushels + 12 bushels + 1.5 bushels = 24.5 bushels of corn. This leaves him with 50 bushels - 24.5 bushels = 25.5 bushels of corn. At 14 ears of corn per bushel, Bob has 25.5 bushels * 14 ears per bushel = 357 ears of corn. The answer is 357.
