Q: A parking area near Peter's house is 4 stories tall. There are 4 open parking spots on the first level. There are 7 more open parking spots on the second level than on the first level, and there are 6 more open parking spots on the third level than on the second level. There are 14 open parking spots on the fourth level. How many open parking spots are there in all?
A: The number of open parking spots on the second level is 4 spots + 7 spots = 11 spots. The number of open parking spots on the third level is 11 spots + 6 spots = 17 spots. There are 4 spots + 11 spots + 17 spots + 14 spots = 46 open parking spots in all. The answer is 46.

[Question]Kenny wants to make sure he does more jumping jacks every week than he did the week before. He recorded that last week he did 324 total jumping jacks. On Saturday of this week, he looks at his records and sees that on Sunday he did 34. On Monday he did 20. On Tuesday he skipped a day. On Wednesday he did 123. On Thursday he did 64. On Friday he did 23. How many does he have to do on Saturday to make sure he beats last week's number?
[Answer]He has already done 264 this week because 34 + 20 + 123 + 64 + 23 = 264. If he does 60 he will have done as many as last week because 324 - 264 = 60. He has to do 61 on Saturday because 60 + 1 = 61. The answer is 61.
Q: A forester is planting trees. The forest already has 30 native trees. On Monday he triples the number of total trees in the forest by planting new trees. On Tuesday, he plants a third of the amount he planted on Monday. How many trees has the forester planted in total?
A: Let M be the number of trees he plants on Monday. On Monday the forest was three times larger from the trees that were originally there and the M trees: 3 * 30 = 30 + M trees. So, 90 = 30 + M. And, M = 60 trees. On Tuesday, he planted 60 trees / 3 = 20 trees. In total, he has planted 60 trees + 20 trees = 80 trees. The answer is 80.
