We have a question: Janelle had 26 green marbles. Then she bought 6 bags of blue marbles. There were 10 marbles in each bag. She created a gift of 6 green marbles and 8 blue marbles and gave it to a friend. How many marbles does Janelle have now?
And an answer: 72
So how you got the answer?
Janelle has 6 bags * 10 blue marbles = 60 marbles. Janelle has a total of 26 green marbles + 60 blue marbles = 86 marbles. Janelle gave away a gift of 6 green + 8 blue marbles = 14 marbles. Janelle has a final amount of 86 marbles - 14 marbles = 72 marbles.

We have a question: Sami finds 3 spiders in the playground. Hunter sees 12 ants climbing the wall. Ming discovers 8 ladybugs in the sandbox, and watches 2 of them fly away. How many insects are remaining in the playground?
And an answer: 21
So how you got the answer?
The children find 3 + 12 + 8 = 23 insects. After the ladybugs fly away, there are 23 - 2 = 21 insects.

We have a question: Jeanette is practicing her juggling. Each week she can juggle 2 more objects than the week before. If she starts out juggling 3 objects and practices for 5 weeks, how many objects can she juggle?
And an answer: 13
So how you got the answer?
First find the total number of additional objects she learns to juggle: 2 objects / week * 5 weeks = 10 objects. Then add the initial number of objects she could juggle to find the total: 10 objects + 3 objects = 13 objects.
