Answer this question:Autumn was constantly misplacing her pencils. At the start of the school year, she purchased a pack of 20 pencils. In the first month of school, she misplaced 7 pencils, broke 3 pencils and had to throw them away, she found 4, and bought 2. How many pencils did Autumn have left?
Autumn misplaced 7 and broke 3, so that lost her 7 + 3 = 10 pencils. Autumn found 4 pencils and bought 2, so she gained 4 + 2 = 6 pencils. She started with 20 pencils, lost 10 and gained 6 so she had 20 - 10 + 6 = 16 pencils left.
The answer is 16.

Answer this question:Ralph is a member of the cross-country relay team. There are four other members on the team who run 3 km to complete their part of the race. Ralph runs twice as much as any member on his team to complete his part of the race. How long is the race?
4 team members each run 3 km, so 4 x 3 = 12 km. Ralph runs twice as much as any team member and since team members each run 3 km, Ralph runs 2 x 3 km = 6 km. The length of the race is 6 km run by Ralph + 12 km run by the rest of the team = 18 km.
The answer is 18.

Answer this question:Logan makes $65,000 a year. He spends $20,000 on rent every year, $5000 on groceries every year, and $8000 on gas every year. If he wants to have at least $42000 left, how much more money must he make each year?
Logan spends 20000 + 5000 + 8000 = 33000 a year. Logan has 65000 - 33000 = 32000 left a year. Logan needs to make 42000 - 32000 = 10000 more a year.
The answer is 10000.
