Question: Jacob is trying to eat less than 1800 calories a day. If he eats 400 calories for breakfast, 900 calories for lunch, and 1100 calories for dinner, how many more calories did he eat than he planned?
Answer: First add up the calories from all three meals: 900 + 400 + 1100 = 2400. Then subtract Jacob's goal from the number of calories he actually ate: 2400 - 1800 = 600. The answer is 600.

Question: Five food companies sponsored a local food bank. Foster Farms donated 45 dressed chickens; American Summits donated twice the number of bottled water than the number of dressed chicken donated by Foster Farms; Hormel donated three times the number of dressed chickens that Foster Farms donated; Boudin Butchers donated one-third of the number of dressed chickens that Hormel donated; Del Monte Foods donated 30 fewer bottles of water than American Summits. How many food items did the companies donate in total?
Answer: American Summits donated 45 x 2 = 90 bottled waters. Hormel donated 45 x 3 = 135 spams. Boudin Bakery donated 135 x 1 / 3 = 45 sourdoughs. Del Monte Foods donated 90 - 30 = 60 canned fruits. Therefore, a total of 45 + 90 + 135 + 45 + 60 = 375 different food. The answer is 375.

Question: Ruth prepared sandwiches. She ate 1 sandwich and gave 2 sandwiches to her brother. Her first cousin arrived and ate 2 sandwiches. Then her two other cousins arrived and ate 1 sandwich each. There were 3 sandwiches left. How many sandwiches did Ruth prepare?
Answer: Ruth's two cousins ate a total of 2 x 1 = 2 sandwiches. So there were 3 + 2 = 5 sandwiches left before her two cousins arrived. Before her first cousin arrived, there were 5 + 2 = 7 sandwiches. Ruth and her brother had 1 + 2 = 3 sandwiches altogether. Therefore, Ruth prepared 7 + 3 = 10 sandwiches.". The answer is 10.

Question: Lucille is wondering who has the tallest house between her and her neighbors. His family's house is 80 feet tall. One neighbor's house is 70 feet tall. Another neighbor's house is 99 feet tall. How much shorter is Lucille's house than the average height?
Answer:
The houses are 249 feet in total because 70 + 80 + 99 = 249. The average height is 83 feet because 249 / 3 = 83. Her house is 3 feet shorter because 83 - 80 = 3. The answer is 3.
