Question: A pumpkin patch allows people to come pick pumpkins to carve in the fall every year. They charge $3 per person for a pumpkin. The remaining pumpkins get turned into cans of pie filling, 3 pumpkins to a can. They grew 83 pumpkins this year and made $96 selling pumpkins for carving. How many cans of pie filling will the pumpkin patch produce?
Answer: The pumpkin patch sold 96 / 3 = 32 pumpkins. They have 83 - 32 = 51 pumpkins left. Thus, the pumpkin patch will produce 51 / 3 = 17 cans of pie filling. The answer is 17.

Question: Jamie collects glass balls. He had 16 red balls and two times more blue balls. Later on, he lost 6 of the red balls, so he decided to buy some yellow balls to fill up his collection. How many yellow balls did he buy if, after all, he had 74 balls in total?
Answer:
Jamie had two times more blue balls than red ones, so he had 2 blue / red * 16 red balls = 32 blue balls. He lost 6 red balls so he had only 16 red balls - 6 red balls = 10 red balls. In total he had 32 blue balls + 10 red balls = 42 red and blue balls. He bought 74 balls - 42 red and blue balls = 32 yellow balls. The answer is 32.
