Q: Shane wants to take as many photos as possible this year. He takes 146 photos in the first 2 months of the year. In January, he takes 2 photos every day. The rest of the photos were taken in February. If in February he took an equal number of photos each week, how many photos did Shane take each week in February?
A: Shane takes a total of 2 photos / day * 31 days = 62 photos in January. This means he must have taken 146 total photos – 62 January photos = 84 photos in February. As he took an equal number each week, he must have taken 84 photos / 4 weeks = 21 photos each week. The answer is 21.

Q: Yesterday Ryan got five books from the library. They were a total of 2100 pages. His brother got one book a day that was 200 pages each. They both finished them in a week. On average, how many more pages per day did Ryan read compared to his brother?
A: Ryan read an average of 300 pages a day because 2100 / 7 = 300. He read 100 more pages a day on average than his brother because 300 - 200 = 100. The answer is 100.
Question: Todd borrowed $100 from his brother to start a snow-cone stand. He has to repay him $110 as soon as he can. Todd spent $75 on ingredients for the snow cones. He sells 200 of them for $.75 each. After he pays back his brother, how much money does Todd have?
Answer: Todd has $25 left after buying ingredients because 100 - 75 = 25. Todd made $150 selling snow - cones because 200 x .75 = 150. Todd has $175 before he pays his brother back because 25 + 150 = 175. After Todd pays his brother back he has $65 because 175 - 110 = 65. The answer is 65.
Q: Bob picked 450 apples for his entire family to eat. There are 33 children in his family, and each of them ate 10 apples. If every adult ate 3 apples apiece, how many adults are in his family?
A:
The 33 children ate a total of 33 * 10 = 330 apples. There were 450 - 330 = 120 apples left for the adults to eat. If every adult ate 3 of the 120 apples left, then there were 120 / 3 = 40 adults in the family. The answer is 40.
