Question: Cody was reading through his favorite book series. The series was 54 books in total. If Cody read 6 books the first week, and 3 books the second week and then 9 books every week after that. How many weeks did it take Cody to read his series?
Answer: Cody needs to read 54 books - 6 books - 3 books = 45 books. Cody read 9 books each week after = 45 books / 9 books per week = 5 weeks. Cody read for 1 week + 1 week + 5 weeks = 7 weeks total. The answer is 7.
[Question]A chair costs 1/7 of the cost of a table. If a table costs $140, how much will it cost to buy a table and 4 chairs?
[Answer]One chair costs $140 x 1 / 7 = $20. Four chairs cost $20 x 4 = $80. So a table and 4 chairs cost $140 + $80 = $220. The answer is 220.
Q: A family has three adults and children, both girls and boys. They went out for a family trip and prepared 3 dozen boiled eggs for the trip. Every adult got 3 eggs, and the boys each received 1 more egg than each girl since the girls had some snacks. How many boys went on the trip if the number of girls was 7 and each girl received an egg?
A: The total number of eggs the family had is 3 * 12 = 36 eggs. If each adult received 3 eggs, the total number of eggs they got is 3 * 3 = 9 eggs. The children shared 36 - 9 = 27 eggs. Since each girl received an egg, the boys shared 27 - 7 = 20 eggs. If each boy received 1 egg more than each girl, each received 1 + 1 = 2 eggs. The boys received 20 eggs, and if each got 2 eggs, then 20 / 2 = 10 boys went on the trip. The answer is 10.

Q: Ann, Bill, Cate, and Dale each buy personal pan pizzas cut into 4 pieces. If Bill and Dale eat 50% of their pizzas and Ann and Cate eat 75% of the pizzas, how many pizza pieces are left uneaten?
A:
In total, there are 4 x 4 = 16 pizza pieces. Bill and Dale eat 2 x 4 x 50% = 4 pieces. Ann and Cate eat 2 x 4 x 75% = 6 pieces. The four of them eat 4 + 6 = 10 pieces. There are 16 - 10 = 6 pizza pieces uneaten. The answer is 6.
