Matt rode his bike away from the house, he rode a total of 1000 feet. Along the way, he passed a stop sign that was 350 feet away from his house. He continued his ride and passed a second sign. After passing the second sign he road an additional 275 feet. How many feet are between the first and second signs? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. Matthew rode 350 feet to the first sign, so there are 1000 - 350 = 650 feet between the first sign and the end. After passing the second sign Matthew road 275, so 650 - 275 = 375 feet remain.. The answer is: 375.

Violet has 3 more than twice as many nails as Tickletoe. If Violet has 27 nails, how many nails do they have together? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. Violet has 27 - 3 = 24 nails, twice the number of nails that Tickletoe has. Therefore, Tickletoe has 1 / 2 * 24 = 12 nails. Together, Tickletoe and Violet have 12 + 27 = 39 nails.. The answer is: 39.

Salvadore earned $1956. Santo earned half of what Salvadore earned. How much money did the two men earn together? Give the rationale and then the answer.
