Question: Shawna has 7 acorns. Sheila has 5 times as many acorns as Shawna, but 3 fewer acorns than Danny. How many acorns do they have altogether? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
Sheila has 7 x 5 = 35 acorns. Danny has 35 + 3 = 38 acorns. Altogether, they have 7 + 35 + 38 = 80 acorns. So the answer is 80.
