Answer this question:Alicia had a wonderful birthday party where she got lots of presents. 10 of the presents were in small boxes. 12 of the presents were in medium boxes. A third of all the presents she is given are in large boxes. How many presents did Alicia get for her birthday?

Answer this question:There were 133 people at a camp. There were 33 more boys than girls. How many girls were at the camp?
If there were 33 fewer boys at camp, there would be the same number of both boys and girls or 133 - 33 = 100 people. That means that there were 100 / 2 = 50 girls at the camp.
The answer is 50.

Answer this question:Olivia's insurance premium starts out at $50/month. It goes up 10% for every accident and $5/month for every ticket. If she gets in one accident and gets 3 tickets, what's her new insurance premium?
First find the increase due to the accident: $50 * 10% = $5. Then find the total increase due to the tickets: $5 / ticket * 3 tickets = $15. Then add both increases to the base price to find the new price: $50 + $5 + $15 = $70.
The answer is 70.
