Answer the following question.
The total cost of staying at High Services Hotel is $40 per night per person. Jenny and two of her friends went to the hotel and stayed for three nights. What's the total amount of money they all paid together?
Step-by-step reasoning process: If each of them stayed 3 nights, the total cost per person is $40 / night * 3 nights = $120. Since they were three, the combined cost is $120 + $120 + $120 = $360.
The answer is 360.

Answer the following question.
A cookfire burns three logs every hour. It was built with six logs to start. If it gets two more logs added to it at the end of every hour, how many logs will be left after 3 hours?
Step-by-step reasoning process: After 3 hours, it will have 3 * 2 = 6 logs added to it. After 3 hours, it will have burned 3 * 3 = 9 logs. After 3 hours, the cookfire will have 6 + 6 - 9 = 3 logs left.
The answer is 3.

Answer the following question.
When Suzy the librarian sat at her desk on Wednesday morning, she had 98 books ready for checkout. The same day, 43 books were checked out. The following day, 23 books were returned, but 5 books were checked out. On Friday, 7 books were returned. How many books did Suzy have?
Step-by-step reasoning process: When 43 books were checked out on Wednesday, Suzy remained with 98 - 43 = 55 books. After 23 books were returned on Thursday, she ended with 55 + 23 = 78 books. However, 5 books were checked out on the same day meaning that 78 - 5 = 73 books were left. After 7 books were returned on Friday, Suzy had 73 + 7 = 80 books.
The answer is 80.
