Question: Emmy has a collection of 14 iPods. She loses 6 out of the 14 she had but she still has twice as many as Rosa. How many iPods does Emmy and Rosa have together?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Emmy has 14 - 6 = 8 iPods left. Rosa has 8 / 2 = 4 iPods. Emmy and Rosa have 8 + 4 = 12 iPods together.
So the answer is 12.


Question: Teddy is a pillow-maker. He uses 3 less than 5 pounds of fluffy foam material to make each pillow. If Teddy has three tons of fluffy foam material, how many pillows can he make?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Three less than 5 is 5 - 3 = 2. Since one ton is 2000 pounds, three tons is 2000 * 3 = 6000 pounds. Thus, in 6000 pounds, he can make 6000 / 2 = 3000 pillows.
So the answer is 3000.


Question: An airplane was flying from California to Virginia. The flight started with 124 passengers. They made a layover in Texas. 58 passengers got off and 24 got on. From there, they flew to North Carolina, where 47 people got off and 14 got on, before flying to Virginia. There were also a total of 10 crew members on board for the entire flight. How many people landed in Virginia?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
They started with 124 passengers. 58 got off and 24 got on so 124 - 58 + 24 = 90. 90 people flew to NC where 47 passengers got off and 14 got on. This flight now had 90 - 47 + 14 = 57. There were also 10 crew members so 57 + 10 = 67 passengers landed in Virginia.
So the answer is 67.
