A: The parrot knew 3 phrases when Georgina bought it, so it has learned 17 - 3 = 14 phrases from her. She has been teaching it 2 phrases a week, so she has had it 14 / 2 = 7 weeks. There are 7 days in a week, so Georgina has had the parrot for 7 * 7 = 49 days. The answer is 49.

[Question]There are 30 players on a football team. The coach has 8 liters of water. She pours 200 milliliters of water for every player so they can get hydrated. Unfortunately, there was a water spill and 250ml of water was spilled. How much water was left over?
[Answer]The coach has 8 liters * 1000 ml / liter = 8,000 ml of water. She pours 200 ml / player x 30 players = 6,000 ml of water in total for all the athletes. The water spill means 6,000 ml + 250 ml = 6,250 ml of water was used. There was 8,000 ml - 6,250 ml = 1,750 ml of water left. The answer is 1750.
[Question]Andy can get 50 demerits in a month before getting fired. If he got 2 demerits per instance for showing up late 6 times and 15 demerits for making an inappropriate joke, how many more demerits can he get this month before getting fired?
[Answer]
First find how many demerits Andy got for showing up late: 2 demerits / time * 6 times = 12 demerits. Then subtract the number of demerits he's gotten so far to find how many more he can get before getting fired: 50 demerits - 12 demerits - 15 demerits = 23 demerits. The answer is 23.
