[Question]The total number of dogs at an animal rescue center is 200. Mr. Tanner, the manager at the rescue center, gets a call that 100 dogs at another rescue center are to be moved because of weather problems. He agrees to bring the dogs to his rescue center, and after one week, gives out 40 animals for adoption. After a month, 60 more dogs were adopted by dog lovers. What's the total number of remaining animals in the adoption center after the last adoptions?
[Answer]After taking in 100 more dogs, the number of dogs in the rescue center increased to 200 + 100 = 300. After a week, the number of dogs was reduced to 300 - 40 = 260 after the adoptions. So, there are 260 - 60 = 200 dogs left after 60 more dogs were adopted. The answer is 200.
Q: Jorge has an equal number of baseball cards as Matias, who has 6 fewer cards than Carlos. If Carlos has 20 baseball cards, what is the total number of baseball cards the three have?
A: If Carlos has 20 cards, Matias has 20 - 6 = 14 baseball cards. Since Matias and Jorge have the same amount of baseball cards, the total number of cards the three have is 14 + 14 + 20 = 48 cards. The answer is 48.
Question: Jerry's breakfast includes 6 pancakes with 120 calories each, two strips of bacon with 100 calories each, and a bowl of cereal with 200 calories. How many calories is his breakfast total?
Answer: First find the total number of calories in the pancakes: 6 pancakes * 120 calories / pancake = 720 calories. Then find the total number of calories in the bacon: 2 strips * 100 calories / strip = 200 calories. Then add the number of calories in each food to find the total number of calories: 720 calories + 200 calories + 200 calories = 1120 calories. The answer is 1120.
Q: If there are sixty-five dolphins in the ocean, and three times that number joins in from a river which has its mouth at the ocean, calculate the total number of dolphins in the ocean.
A:
When three times the number of dolphins in the ocean joins in from a river, the number of dolphins in the ocean increases by 3 * 65 = 195. The total number of dolphins in the ocean increases to 195 + 65 = 260. The answer is 260.
