Q: To win a brand new Bible at Tom Sawyer's Sunday school, a pupil has to win 10 yellow tickets; each yellow ticket is obtained by trading in 10 red tickets; each red ticket is obtained by trading in 10 blue tickets; and blue tickets are earned by memorizing two Bible verses. But rather than go to all that trouble, Tom Sawyer has traded various toys and treasures of his with his friends until he has gathered 8 yellow, 3 red, and 7 blue tickets. How many more blue tickets would he need to earn to win a new Bible?
A: A red ticket is equal to 10 blue tickets, and a yellow is equal to ten red tickets, so a yellow ticket is also equal to 10 * 10 = 100 blue tickets. It takes 10 yellow tickets to win a Bible, or 10 * 100 = 1000 blue tickets. Tom has 8 yellow tickets, which are worth 8 * 100 = 800 blue tickets. He also has 3 red tickets, which are worth 3 * 10 = 30 blue tickets. Added with his 7 blue tickets, he has 800 + 30 + 7 = 837 blue tickets' worth of tickets. So he still needs to earn 1000 - 837 = 163 blue tickets. The answer is 163.
Question: In a basketball game, Tobee scored 4 points. Jay scored 6 more than Tobee and Sean scored 2 less than the points of Tobee and Jay together. If Tobee, Jay, and Sean are on the same team, how many points did they score for their team?
Answer: Jay scored 4 + 6 = 10 points. Together, Tobee and Jay scores 4 + 10 = 14 points. So, Sean scored 14 - 2 = 12 points. Thus, Tobee, Jay, and Sean scored a total of 4 + 10 + 12 = 26 points for their team. The answer is 26.

Q: Zander collected 100 stickers. He gave some of his stickers to his two friends, Andrew and Bill. Andrew received 1/5 of Zander's stickers, while Bill received 3/10 of the remaining stickers. How many stickers did Andrew give to his two friends?
A: Andrew received 100 x 1 / 5 = 20 stickers. So, there were 100 - 20 = 80 stickers left. Bill received 80 x 3 / 10 = 24 stickers. Therefore, Andrew gave away 20 + 24 = 44 stickers. The answer is 44.
