If there are four times as many red crayons as blue crayons in a box, and there are 3 blue crayons. How many crayons total are in the box?

Tropical Storm Sally brings 3 days of rain to southern Texas. The first day it rained 4 inches. The second day it rained 5 times as much as the first day, and the third day it rained 6 inches less than the sum of the first two days. How much did it rain on the third day?
Let's think: First Day:4 inches. Second Day: 5(4) = 20 inches. Third Day: (4 + 20) - 6 = 18 inches.. The answer is: 18.

Victor, Austin, and Brian made traps to catch shrimp. Victor's trap caught 26 shrimp and Austin's trap caught 8 less than Victor's. Brian's trap caught half of Victor and Austin's total number of shrimp. If the boys then sold their shrimp for $7 for every 11 tails of shrimp and then divided their earnings equally amongst themselves, how much money does each boy make?
Let's think: Austin's trap caught 26 - 8 = 18 shrimp. Together, Victor and Austin's traps caught 18 + 26 = 44 shrimp. Brian's trap caught 44 / 2 = 22 shrimp. In total, they caught 26 + 18 + 22 = 66 shrimp. They were able to sell 66 / 11 = 6 sets of shrimp. They made a total of 6 x $7 = $42. Each boy made $42 / 3 = $14.. The answer is: 14.

Beatrice is shopping for a new TV. First she looks at 8 TVs at one store in person. Then she looks at three times as many TVs at an online store. She looks at more TVs on an auction site online. If Beatrice looked at 42 TVs in all, how many did look at on the auction site?
Let's think:
Beatrice looked at 3 x 8 TVs at an online store = 24 TVs. She looked at 8 TVs in person + 24 TVs online = 32 TVs. Beatrice looked at 42 TVs in all - the 32 she looked at = 10 TVs she looked at on an auction site.. The answer is: 10.
