A town is trying to clear litter from its streets. The council pays for adding 14 trash cans to the streets and also pays for adding twice as many trash cans to the back of stores. How many trash cans has the town paid for?
Let's think: At the back of stores, the town has paid for 14 trash cans on the streets * 2 = 28 trash cans. The town has therefore added 14 trash cans on the streets + 28 trash cans at the back of stores = 42 trash cans.. The answer is: 42.

David found $12 on the street. He then gave it to his friend Evan who has $1 and needed to buy a watch worth $20. How much does Evan still need?
Let's think: The total amount Evan has is $1 + $12 = $13. So Evan still needs $20 - $13 = $7.. The answer is: 7.

Victor works at Clucks Delux, a restaurant specializing in chicken. An order of Chicken Pasta uses 2 pieces of chicken, an order of Barbecue Chicken uses 3 pieces of chicken, and a family-size Fried Chicken Dinner uses 8 pieces of chicken. Tonight, Victor has 2 Fried Chicken Dinner orders, 6 Chicken Pasta orders, and 3 Barbecue Chicken orders. How many pieces of chicken does he need for all the orders?
Let's think: Victor needs 2 * 8 = 16 pieces of chicken for Fried Chicken Dinners. He needs 6 * 2 = 12 pieces of chicken for Chicken Pasta. He needs 3 * 3 = 9 pieces of chicken for Barbecue Chicken orders. Thus, he needs 16 + 12 + 9 = 37 pieces of chicken.. The answer is: 37.

Mrs. Anderson bought 2 bags of 3-pound bag of cat food and another 2 bags of dog food that each weigh 2 more pounds than each bag of cat food. There are 16 ounces in each pound. How many ounces of pet food did Mrs. Anderson buy?
Let's think:
The two bags of cat food weigh 2 x 3 = 6 pounds. Each bag of dog food weighs 3 + 2 = 5 pounds. So two bags of dog food weigh 2 x 5 = 10 pounds. Thus, Mrs. Anderson bought 6 + 10 = 16 pounds of pet food. And 16 pounds is equal to 16 x 16 = 256 ounces.. The answer is: 256.
