Question: Carly is a pet groomer. Today, her task was trimming the four nails on dogs' paws. She trimmed 164 nails, but three of the dogs had only three legs. How many dogs did Carly work on?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Let N be the number of dogs with 4 legs Carly worked on. All the dogs with 4 legs had 4N paws. There were 3 * 3 = 9 paws on dogs with 3 legs. At 4 nails per paw, she trimmed 164 / 4 = 41 paws. She worked on 4N + 9 = 41 paws. Thus, she worked on 4N = 32 paws on dogs with 4 legs. She worked on N = 32 / 4 = 8 dogs with 4 legs. Thus, Carly worked on 8 + 3 = 11 dogs.
So the answer is 11.

Question: On Tuesday, Max's mom gave him $8 dollars for a hot dog at the Grand Boulevard park. On Wednesday, his mom gave him 5 times as much money as she gave him on Tuesday. On Thursday, his mom gave him $9 more in money than she gave him on Wednesday. How much more money did his mom give him on Thursday than she gave him on Tuesday?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: On Wednesday Max was given 8 * 5 = 40 dollars. On Thursday Max was given 40 + 9 = 49 dollars. Max's mom gave him 49 - 8 = 41 more dollars on Thursday than she gave him on Tuesday.
So the answer is 41.
