[Question]Bennett sells window screens. He sold twice as many window screens in February as he sold last month. In February, Bennett sold a fourth of what he sold in March. If Bennet sold 8800 window screens in March, how many screens did Bennett sell from January to March?

Question: Erika and her 3 siblings are drawing with chalk outside. Another 3 friends join them and ask if they can help with the drawing. Erika loses 2 pieces of chalk as they are counting and the group realizes there isn't enough chalk for everyone. Erika’s mom brings out another 12 pieces of chalk for them to share and there is now enough chalk for everyone to have 3 pieces each. How many pieces of chalk did Erika and her siblings originally have?
Answer: Altogether, there are 1 Erika + 3 siblings + 3 friends = 7 people drawing outside. The group has a total of 7 people * 3 pieces of chalk each = 21 pieces of chalk altogether. Before Erika’s mom helped, they had 21 total pieces of chalk - 12 pieces of chalk Erika’s mom brought = 9 pieces of chalk. Then adding the chalk that Erika lost shows that the group originally had 9 pieces of chalk + 2 lost pieces of chalk = 11 pieces of chalk. The answer is 11.

[Question]The total number of dogs at an animal rescue center is 200. Mr. Tanner, the manager at the rescue center, gets a call that 100 dogs at another rescue center are to be moved because of weather problems. He agrees to bring the dogs to his rescue center, and after one week, gives out 40 animals for adoption. After a month, 60 more dogs were adopted by dog lovers. What's the total number of remaining animals in the adoption center after the last adoptions?
[Answer]
After taking in 100 more dogs, the number of dogs in the rescue center increased to 200 + 100 = 300. After a week, the number of dogs was reduced to 300 - 40 = 260 after the adoptions. So, there are 260 - 60 = 200 dogs left after 60 more dogs were adopted. The answer is 200.
