[Question]Tina is a professional boxer. She wins her first 10 fights of her career. She then goes on to win 5 more before losing her first fight, and then doubles her number of wins before losing again. She then retires. How many more wins than losses does she have at the end of her career?
[Answer]Tina wins her first 10, and then wins 5 more for 10 + 5 = 15 wins before losing 1. She then doubles her number of wins for a total of 15 * 2 = 30 wins, before losing 1 more for 1 + 1 = 2 losses. For her career she has 30 - 2 = 28 more wins than losses. The answer is 28.
Q: Amber is baking cakes for her party. She has invited 8 friends and each one will want two slices of cake. Each cake makes 6 slices. If she bakes 4 cakes, how many slices will be left over at the end if she eats three herself?
A: Her friends will eat 16 slices of cake because 8 x 2 = 16. There will be 19 slices eaten in total because 16 + 3 = 19. She is making 24 slices of cake because 4 x 6 = 24. There will be 5 pieces left over because 24 - 19 = 5. The answer is 5.
Question: Polly and Peter play chess. Polly takes an average of 28 seconds per move, while Peter takes an average of 40 seconds per move. The match ends after 30 moves. How many minutes did the match last?
Answer: Both Polly and Peter played 30 / 2 = 15 moves each one. With an average of 28 seconds per move, Polly's moves lasted a total of 15 * 28 = 420 seconds.

Q: Sophia ate 1/6 of her pie and she put the rest on the fridge. If the pie left in the fridge weighs 1200 grams, how many grams did Sophia eat?
A: If Sophia ate 1 / 6 of the pie, then 6 / 6 - 1 / 6 = 5 / 6 is left in the fridge. Let x be the pie's original weight. The current weight of the pie can be described by 5x / 6 = 1200 grams. So, 5x = 7200. And, the original weight is x = 1440 grams. So, Sophia ate 1440 grams original - 1200 grams after = 240 grams of pie. The answer is 240.
