Question: Jordan and Perry took a boat out to the lake to go fishing on a Monday morning. Jordan caught 4 fish and Perry caught double what Jordan caught. On the way back to shore, the boat tipped over and they lost one-fourth of their total catch. How many fish remain?
Answer: Since Perry caught double what Jordan caught, Perry caught 2 * 4 = 8 fish. Altogether, they caught 8 + 4 = 12 fish. On the way back to the shore, they lost 12 * 1 / 4 = 3 fish. They have 12 - 3 = 9 fish remaining. The answer is 9.

Q: A chihuahua, pitbull, and great dane weigh a combined weight of 439 pounds. The pitbull weighs 3 times as much as the chihuahua. The great dane weighs 10 more pounds than triple the pitbull. How much does the great dane weigh?
A: Let x represent the weight of the chihuahua. Pitbull:3x. Great dane:10 + 3(3x) = 10 + 9x. Total:x + 3x + 10 + 9x = 439. 13x + 10 = 439. 13x = 429. x = 33 pounds. Great dane:10 + 9(33) = 307 pounds. The answer is 307.
Question: Jim and his Cousin are out at a restaurant. They each order a cheeseburger and milkshake. They also split an order to cheese fries. A cheeseburger is $3. A milkshake is $5. Cheese fries are $8. They spend 80% of their combined money. If Jim brought $20 how much did his cousin bring?
Answer: They spent $8 each on cheeseburgers and milkshakes because 3 + 5 = 8. They spent $16 on these items in total because 2 x 8 = 16. They spent $24 on their meal because 16 + 8 = 24. They had $30 to start because 24 / .8 = 30. His cousin had $10 because 30 - 20 = 10. The answer is 10.
