Answer the following question.
There's a Bobbit worm hiding in the bottom of James' aquarium. Every day it eats 2 fish. After two weeks, James adds 8 more fish to the aquarium. A week later, he discovers the Bobbit worm. If the aquarium had 60 fish to start with, how many does it have when James discovers the Bobbit worm?
Step-by-step reasoning process: First find the total number of weeks the Bobbit worm preys on the fish: 2 weeks + 1 week = 3 weeks. Then multiply that number by the number of days per week: 3 weeks * 7 days / week = 21 days. Then multiply that number by the number of fish the worm eats per day to find how many fish it eats total: 21 days * 2 fish / day = 42 fish. Then add the number of fish James adds to the starting number of fish to find the ending number of fish: 60 fish + 8 fish = 68 fish. Then subtract the number of eaten fish to find the number of surviving fish: 68 fish - 42 fish = 26 fish.
The answer is 26.

Answer the following question.
Alyssa took 100 photos on vacation. She wants to put them in a photo album with 30 pages. She can place 3 photos each on the first 10 pages. Then she can place 4 photos each on the next 10 pages. If she wants to put an equal number of photos on each of the remaining pages of the album, how many photos can she place on each page?
Step-by-step reasoning process: There are 3 x 10 = 30 photos in total that can be placed in the first 10 pages. There are 4 x 10 = 40 photos in total that can be placed in the next 10 pages. A total of 10 + 10 = 20 pages of the album have been used. A total of 30 + 40 = 70 photos can be placed on those 20 pages. So there are still 100 - 70 = 30 photos left to be placed on the album. And there are 30 - 20 = 10 pages left in the album. Therefore, 30 / 10 = 3 photos can be placed on each of the pages.
The answer is 3.

Answer the following question.
The cost of building a certain house in an area is 100,000 more than the construction cost of each of the houses in the area. But it sells for 1.5 times as much as the other houses, which sell at $320,000 each. How much more profit is made by spending the extra money to build?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The house cost 320,000 * 1.5 = $480,000. So it is worth 480,000 - 320,000 = $160,000 more than other houses. So the profit is 160,000 - 100,000 = $60,000 more.
The answer is 60000.

Answer the following question.
Thomas is making hummus. One of the ingredients in a hummus recipe is chickpeas. For one serving of hummus, the recipe calls for 1 cup of chickpeas. In a can of chickpeas, there are 16 ounces of chickpeas. In one cup of chickpeas, there are 6 ounces. To make 20 servings, how many cans of chickpeas should Thomas buy?
Step-by-step reasoning process: For 20 servings, Thomas needs 20 * 1 = 20 cups of chickpeas. To have 20 cups, Thomas needs 20 * 6 = 120 ounces. 120 ounces / 16 ounces = 7.5 cans of chickpeas. Since Thomas cannot buy half a can, he needs to buy 8 cans.
The answer is 8.
