Question: Mitch has saved $20000 to finance his boating hobby. A new boat costs $1500 per foot in length. If Mitch needs to keep $500 for a license and registration, and three times that amount for docking fees, how many feet is the longest boat he can buy?
Answer: Mitch needs to keep 500 * 3 = 1500 for docking fees. Thus, he needs to keep 500 + 3 * 500 = $2000 for license, registration, and docking fees. He has 20000 - 2000 = $18000 left to spend on a boat. Therefore, the longest boat he can buy is 18000 / 1500 = 12 feet long. The answer is 12.

Q: Alex has 4 pens in the first week of a month. Every week her pen collection doubles. How many more pens will Alex have than Jane if Jane will have 16 pens after a month?
A: If Alex has 4 pens in the first week of a month, she will have 4 * 2 = 8 pens in the second week. After her pen collection doubles in the third week, Alex will have 2 * 8 = 16 pens. In the last week of the month, Alex will have 2 * 16 = 32 pens after her pen collection. If Jane has 16 pens after a month, Alex will have 32 - 16 = 16 more pens than Jane. The answer is 16.
Question: Cleo and Ignacio placed 30 of their marbles in a jar on a Monday. They took 3/5 of the marbles from the jar the next day and divided them equally. On the third day, Cleo took 1/2 of the marbles remaining in the jars. How many marbles did Cleo have on the third day?
Answer: On the first day, Cleo and Ignacio took 3 / 5 * 30 marbles = 18 marbles from the jar. When they shared the marbles, each got 18 marbles / 2 people = 9 marbles / person. The total number of marbles remaining in the jar is 30 marbles - 18 marbles = 12 marbles. On the third day, Cleo took 1 / 2 * 12 marbles = 6 marbles from the jar. The total number of marbles she has on the third day is 6 marbles + 9 marbles = 15 marbles. The answer is 15.
