[Question]Gabrielle sells eggs. On Monday she sells 5 crates of eggs. On Tuesday she sells 2 times as many crates of eggs as Monday. On Wednesday she sells 2 fewer crates than Tuesday. On Thursday she sells half as many crates of eggs as she sells on Tuesday. How many total crates of eggs does she sell for the 4 days?
[Answer]On Tuesday she sells 5 crates * 2 = 10 crates of eggs. On Wednesday she sells 10 crates - 2 crates = 8 crates of eggs. On Thursday she sells 1 / 2 * 10 crates = 5 crates of eggs. She sells a total of 5 crates + 10 crates + 8 crates + 5 crates = 28 crates of eggs. The answer is 28.
Q: Molly and her parents love to hang out at the beach on weekends. Molly spent the better part of the day at the beach and saw 100 people join them. At 5:00, 40 people left the beach. What's the total number of people at the beach if they all stayed until evening?
A: Molly and her parent were 2 + 1 = 3 people. When 100 more people joined, the total number became 3 + 100 = 103. If 40 people left before evening, the number reduced to 103 - 40 = 63 people. The answer is 63.

Question: Chloe and Max played Mario Kart together. The ratio of Chloe’s wins to Max’s wins is 8:3. Chloe won 24 times. How many times did Max win?
Answer:
We are trying to figure out how many times Max won at Mario Kart, so we'll call that number Y. We know the ratio of Chloe’s wins to Max’s wins is 8 / 3, so 8 / 3 = 24 / Y. Next, we will multiply to find the cross - products. 8 x Y = 3 x 24 or 8Y = 72. We want to get figure out Y, so we need to get it by itself by dividing by 8, like this: 8Y / 8 = 72 / 8. Y = 9, so Max won 9 times. The answer is 9.
