Question: Tony has a terrible toothache and decides to buy some painkillers from the store. He picks up a bottle of 50 pills and takes them home. He takes 2 pills each day three times a day for the first 2 days, before cutting this amount in half for the next 3 days. On the sixth day, he takes a final 2 pills in the morning and ends up feeling better. How many pills are left in the bottle?
Answer: Tony starts with 50 pills and takes 2 pills each 3 times a day, meaning he takes 2 * 3 = 6 pills in total. Tony repeats this process for two days in total, meaning over those two days he takes 2 * 6 = 12 pills. Tony then cuts down his pill usage in half, meaning he's now taking 6 / 2 = 3 pills a day. Since he repeats this process for three days, that means he takes 3 * 3 = 9 pills for that period. Adding in the two pills Tony took on the final day, that means he took 12 + 9 + 2 = 23 pills. Since there were 50 pills in the bottle to begin with, this means Tony has 50 - 23 = 27 pills remaining. The answer is 27.

Q: We the People has 17 cows. Happy Good Healthy Family has two more than three times the number of cows We the People has. If their cows are taken to a ranch to graze together, how many cows will be in the ranch altogether?
A: Three times the number of cows We the People has is 3 * 17 = 51 cows. Happy Good Healthy Family has two more than three times the number of cows We the People has, a total of 51 + 2 = 53 cows. If the cows are taken to a ranch to graze together, their total will be 53 + 17 = 70 cows. The answer is 70.
Question: Henry took 9 pills a day for 14 days. Of these 9 pills, 4 pills cost $1.50 each, and the other pills each cost $5.50 more. How much did he spend in total on the pills?
Answer: There were 9 - 4 = 5 other pills. Each of the other pills cost 1.50 + 5.50 = 7 dollars each. The 5 pills cost a total of 7 * 5 = 35 dollars. The first 4 pills cost 1.50 * 4 = 6 dollars in total. Henry spent a total of 35 + 6 = 41 dollars. The answer is 41.
