Q: Gumball was counting his water intake for the previous week. He checked his list and saw that he had drank 60 liters of water for the week. He drank nine liters of water on Monday, Thursday and Saturday and 8 liters of water on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. Unfortunately, no data was input on Wednesday. How many liters of water did he drink on Wednesday?
A: Gumball's total water intake on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday is 9 x 3 = 27 liters. And his total water intake on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday is 8 x 3 = 24 liters. So his total water intake for 6 days is 24 + 27 = 51 liters. Therefore Gumball's water intake on Wednesday is 60 - 51 = 9 liters. The answer is 9.
Question: Jangshe spent $610 on 7 pieces of clothing. One piece was $49 and another piece was $81. If the other pieces were all the same price, how many dollars was one of the other pieces?
Answer: 610 - 49 = 561, and then 561 - 81 = 480. There were 7 - 2 = 5 other pieces. 480 / 5 = 96 dollars. The other 5 pieces cost $96 each. The answer is 96.
[Question]Shelly and Sam love to go deep sea fishing for swordfish. Each time they go deep sea fishing, Shelly catches 2 less than five swordfish, and Sam catches one less swordfish than Shelly. If Sam and Shelly go fishing 5 times, how many swordfish do they catch in total?
[Answer]Shelly catches 2 less than five swordfish each time they go fishing, for a total of 5 - 2 = 3 fish per trip. Sam catches one less swordfish than does Shelly on each trip, or a total of 3 - 1 = 2 swordfish per trip. Together, they catch a total of 3 + 2 = 5 swordfish on each trip. If Sam and Shelly go fishing 5 times, they catch a total of 5 * 5 = 25 swordfish. The answer is 25.
Q: A TV show costs $100,000 per episode for the first season and twice that much for every other season. The first season had 12 episodes, and every season after that had 50% more episodes except the last season, which had 24 episodes. The show had 5 seasons. How much did it cost to produce all the episodes?
A: The first season cost 12 * 100,000 = $1,200,000. Season 2 - 4 had 12 * .5 = 6 more episodes per season than the first. So they each had 12 + 6 = 18 episodes. That means there were 18 * 3 + 24 = 78 episodes in the last 4 seasons. So those episodes cost 2 * 100,000 = $200,000. For a total cost of 200,000 * 78 = $15,600,000. So the total cost was 15,600,000 + 1,200,000 = $16,800,000. The answer is 16800000.
Question: A company is lining a 900-foot path with a fence. Every 6 feet, a fence pole is placed. The entire path is lined with a fence except for a 42-foot bridge. How many fence poles will be placed along the whole path on both sides?
Answer: There are 900 - 42 = 858 feet of path to line. There are poles every 6 feet, so the company needs 858 / 6 = 143 poles. The poles have to go on both sides of the path, so there will be 143 * 2 = 286 fence poles along the whole path. The answer is 286.
Q: Andrew bought 750 stickers. He shared some of his stickers with his friends, Daniel and Fred. Daniel received 250 stickers, while Fred received 120 more stickers than Daniel.  He kept the remaining stickers. How many stickers did Andrew keep?
A:
Fred received 250 + 120 = 370 stickers. Thus, Andrew shared 250 + 370 = 620 stickers. Therefore, Andrew kept 750 - 620 = 130 stickers. The answer is 130.
