Question: Mary has 300 sheep and Bob has double the number of sheep as Mary plus another 35. How many sheep must Mary buy to have 69 fewer sheep than Bob?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Bob has (300 * 2) + 35 = 635 sheep. For Mary to have 69 sheep fewer than Bob she must own 635 – 69 = 566 sheep. As Mary has already 300 sheep she must buy 566 – 300 = 266 sheep.
So the answer is 266.

Question: Ben took his family fishing yesterday. Ben caught 4 fish, his wife Judy caught 1 fish, his oldest son Billy caught 3, his younger son Jim caught 2, and his youngest child Susie surprised them all by catching 5! Unfortunately, 3 of the fish were too small, so they threw them back. If each fish will give them 2 filets, how many fish filets will Ben and his family have?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Ben's family caught 4 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 5 = 15 fish. They kept 15 - 3 = 12 fish. They'll get 2 filets per fish, so they will have 12 fish * 2 filets per fish = 24 filets.
So the answer is 24.

Question: John raises emu. He has 4 pens for emu and each pen has 6 emus in it. Each female emu lays 1 egg per day. If half the emu are females how many eggs does he get a week?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: There are 6 * 4 = 24 emus. So there are 24 / 2 = 12 female emus. So he gets 12 * 7 = 84 eggs a week.
So the answer is 84.

Question: The students at Evelyn's school are keeping journals. They have 3 journal-writing sessions per week. Each student writes 4 pages in each session. How many journal pages will each student write in 6 weeks?
