Q: Caleb, Andy and Billy went on a picnic with their father. Billy took 6 candies with him, Caleb took 11 and Andy left with 9. On the way, their father bought a packet of 36 candies. He gave 8 candies to Billy, 11 to Caleb and the rest to Andy. How many more candies does Andy now have than Caleb?
A: Billy took some candies and got more from his father for a total of 6 + 8 = 14 candies. Caleb has a total of 11 + 11 = 22 candies. Their father gave out 8 + 11 = 19 candies from a pack of 36. He gave the rest which is 36 - 19 = 17 candies to Andy. Andy has a total of 9 + 17 = 26 candies. Andy has 26 - 22 = 4 more candies than Caleb. The answer is 4.
