[Question]George's bowling team is one round away from breaking the league record for most points scored in a season. The old record is an average score per player of 287 per round. Each team has 4 players and there are 10 rounds in the season. Through the first 9 rounds, his team has scored a total of 10,440. How many points less than the current league record per game average is the minimum average they need to score, per player, in the final round to tie the league record?
[Answer]The old team per round record is 1,148 because 287 x 4 = 1,148. The team season record is 11,480 because 10 x 1,248 = 11,480. They need 1,040 points in the final round to tie the record because 11,480 - 10,440 = 1,040. They need to average 260 points each because 1,040 / 4 = 260. This is 27 points less than the current record average because 287 - 260 = 27. The answer is 27.

Question: Bob started out the week with $80. On Monday alone, he spent half the money. On Tuesday, he spent one-fifth of the amount left from Monday. On Wednesday, he spent 3/8ths of the amount left from Tuesday. How much does he have left now?
Answer: On Monday, he spent half of $80 leaving him with $80 - (1 / 2) * $80 = $40. On Tuesday, he spent 1 / 5th of $40 leaving $40 - (1 / 5) * 40 = $32. On Wednesday, he spent 3 / 8ths of $32 leaving $32 - (3 / 8) * $32 = $20. The answer is 20.
Q: A farm is growing corn in 2 fields. One of the fields has 13 full rows of corn cobs, and the other field has 16 full rows of corn cobs. If each row contains 4 corn cobs, how many corn cobs has the farm grown?
A:
In the first field, there are 13 rows * 4 corn cobs / row = 52 corn cobs. In the second field, there are 16 rows * 4 corn cobs / row = 64 corn cobs. So the farm has grown a total of 52 corn cobs + 64 corn cobs = 116 corn cobs. The answer is 116.
