Q: Marnie opens a bag of chips and eats 5 of them to see if she likes them. She does, so she eats 5 more. The bag has 100 chips in it and starting on the second day she has them, Marnie eats 10 each day. How many days does it take for Marnie to eat the whole bag of chips?
A: Marnie has already eaten 5 of the chips + 5 more = 10 chips Marnie ate. The bag has 100 chips in it and Marnie has only eaten 10, 100 - 10 = 90 chips left. If Marnie eats 10 chips a day starting from the second day she has them, it will take her 90 chips in the bag / 10 chips Marine eats a day = 9 days to eat the whole bag. However, Marnie also ate chips on the first day she bought them, so 9 + 1 = 10 days to eat the whole bag. The answer is 10.

Answer: After 10 years, growing at the rate of 3 inches every year, Haley will have grown by 3 * 10 = 30 inches. If she is currently 20 inches tall, her height after 10 years will be 20 + 30 = 50 inches. The answer is 50.
[Question]Sally and Bob have made plans to go on a trip at the end of the year. They both decide to work as babysitters and save half of what they've earned for their trip. If Sally makes $6 per day and Bob makes $4 per day, how much money will they both have saved for their trip after a year?
[Answer]Saly saves 1 / 2 * $6 / day = $3 / day. Since each year have 365 days, the total amount of money Sally will save in a year is $3 / day * 365 days / year = $1095 / year. Bob saves 1 / 2 * $4 / day = $2 / day. The total amount of money Bob will have saved in a year is $2 / day * 365 days / year = $730 / year. In total, Sally and Bob would have saved $730 + $1095 = $1825. The answer is 1825.
Q: Jack goes up three flights of stairs, then down six flights of stairs. If each flight of stairs has 12 steps that each each 8 inches high, how many feet further down is Jack than when he started?
A: First find the number of inches in each flight of stairs: 12 steps * 8 inches / step = 96 inches. Then find the net number of flights of stairs Jack went down: 6 flights - 3 flights = 3 flights. Then multiply than number by the number of inches per flight to find how many inches further down he is: 96 inches / flight * 3 flights = 288 inches. Then divide that number by 12 to find the number of feet down he is: 288 inches / 12 inches / foot = 24 feet. The answer is 24.
