There are 14 chickens in the coop, and twice that many in the run. There is 4 less than double the number of chickens free ranging as in the run. How many chickens are free ranging? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. Coop:14 chickens. Run:14(2) = 28 chickens. Free Range:28(2) - 4 = 52 chickens.. The answer is: 52.

Malik rushed for 18 yards in each of 4 games. Josiah ran for 22 yards in each of 4 games. Darnell had an average of 11 yards rushed for each of the 4 games. How many yards did the 3 athletes run in total? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. Malik = 18 * 4 = 72 yards. Josiah = 22 * 4 = 88. Darnell = 11 * 4 = 44 yards. Total yards = 72 + 88 + 44 = 204 yards. The 3 athletes ran 204 yards.. The answer is: 204.

Cheryl is signing up for a golf tournament that costs 20% more than her monthly cell phone expenses to enter the tournament. If Cheryl spends $400 more on her monthly cell phone expenses than on the electricity bill, which costs $800, calculate the total amount she pays upon signing up for the golf tournament. Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. If the electricity bill costs $800, and Cheryl spends $400 more on her monthly cell phone expenses than on the electricity bill, she pays $800 + $400 = $1200 on cell phone expenses. Since the cost to enter the tournament is 20% more than Cheryl's monthly cell phone expenses, to enter the tournament, Cheryl has to pay 20 / 100 * 1200 = $240 more than her monthly cell phone expenses. The total cost of joining the golf tournament is $1200 + $240 = $1440.. The answer is: 1440.
