Question: Jenny is scraping gum off the bottom of the seats in a stadium with two sections. Section A has 1 subsection with 60 seats and 3 subsections with 80 seats each. Section B has 20 more seats than 3 times as many seats as Section A has total. How many seats does Section B have?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: First find how many total seats are in the 80 - seat subsections: 80 seats / subsection * 3 subsections = 240 seats. Then add the number of seats in the 60 - seat section to find the total number of seats in Section A: 240 seats + 60 seats = 300 seats. Then triple that number: 300 seats * 3 = 900 seats. Then add 20 seats to find the total number of seats in Section B: 900 seats + 20 seats = 920 seats.
So the answer is 920.


Question: Georgina owns a parrot and is teaching it to speak. So far, the parrot knows seventeen phrases. If she is teaching it two phrases a week and it already knew three phrases when she bought it, how many days has Georgina had it?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: The parrot knew 3 phrases when Georgina bought it, so it has learned 17 - 3 = 14 phrases from her. She has been teaching it 2 phrases a week, so she has had it 14 / 2 = 7 weeks. There are 7 days in a week, so Georgina has had the parrot for 7 * 7 = 49 days.
So the answer is 49.


Question: Inez has $150. She spends one-half on hockey skates and a certain amount on hockey pads. If Inez has $25 remaining, how much did the hockey pads cost, together, in dollars?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
She spent 150 / 2 = $75 on hockey skates. Let X be the amount Inez spent on hockey pads. 150 - 75 - X = 25. 75 - X = 25. X = 50. The hockey pads cost $50.
So the answer is 50.
