Question: Shawna's workout goal is 30 situps. On Monday, Shawna was only able to do 12 situps, so she decided that she would make up for the rest on Tuesday. However, she was only able to do 19 situps on Tuesday. How many situps would Shawna have to do on Wednesday to meet her minimum goal and make up for the ones she didn't do?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: On Monday, Shawna was short of 30 - 12 = 18 situps. On Tuesday, Shawna was short of 30 - 19 = 11 situps. On Wednesday, Shawna would have to do 30 + 18 + 11 = 59 situps.
So the answer is 59.


Question: Hash has nine more than half as many toys as Bill has. If Bill has 60 toys, how many total toys do the boys have?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: First we need to know what half of Bills toys are, 60 toys / 2 = 30 toys. Hash has 9 toys + 30 toys = 39 toys. Together the boys have 60 toys + 39 toys = 99 toys.
So the answer is 99.


Question: A Printing shop needs to ship 5000 brochures to an advertising company. Each box can only contain one-fifth of the brochures. How many boxes are needed to ship those brochures?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:

So the answer is 5.
