Q: Caleb, Andy and Billy went on a picnic with their father. Billy took 6 candies with him, Caleb took 11 and Andy left with 9. On the way, their father bought a packet of 36 candies. He gave 8 candies to Billy, 11 to Caleb and the rest to Andy. How many more candies does Andy now have than Caleb?
A: Billy took some candies and got more from his father for a total of 6 + 8 = 14 candies. Caleb has a total of 11 + 11 = 22 candies. Their father gave out 8 + 11 = 19 candies from a pack of 36. He gave the rest which is 36 - 19 = 17 candies to Andy. Andy has a total of 9 + 17 = 26 candies. Andy has 26 - 22 = 4 more candies than Caleb. The answer is 4.
Question: Dabbie bought 3 turkeys for thanksgiving, the first turkey is 6 kilograms, the second turkey is 9 kilograms, and the weight of the third turkey is twice the weight of the second turkey. If the cost of a kilogram of turkey is $2, how much does Dabbie spent on all the turkeys?
Answer: Dabbie paid 6 x $2 = $12 for the first turkey. He paid 9 x $ 2 = $18 for the second turkey. And the weight of the third turkey is 9 x 2 = 18 kilograms. So, the price of the third turkey is 18 x $2 = $36. Therefore, the total amount he paid for all the turkeys is $12 + $18 + $36 = $66. The answer is 66.

Question: Oliver is trying to decide between two different sized boxes of macaroni and cheese. He wants to know which is the better value, so instead of just looking at the overall price, he looks at the price per ounce. The larger box is 30 ounces and the smaller box is 20 ounces.
