Caroline has 40 pairs of socks. She loses 4 pairs of socks at the laundromat. Of the remaining pairs of socks, she donates two-thirds to the thrift store. Then she purchases 10 new pairs of socks, and she receives 3 new pairs of socks as a gift from her dad. How many pairs of socks does Caroline have in total?
Let's think: After losing some socks, Caroline has 40 - 4 = 36 pairs of socks. Caroline donates 36 * (2 / 3) = 24 pairs of socks to the thrift store. After donating some socks, Caroline has 36 - 24 = 12 pairs of socks remaining. After getting new socks, Caroline has 12 + 10 + 3 = 25 pairs of socks.. The answer is: 25.

Frank has three less than half the number of cookies as Mike. Mike has three times as many cookies as Millie. If Millie has 4 cookies, how many cookies does Frank have?
Let's think: Mike has 4 * 3 = 12 cookies. Frank has 12 / 2 - 3 = 3 cookies.. The answer is: 3.

A store decides to shut down and sell all of its inventory. They have 2000 different items which would normally retail for $50. They are offering an 80% discount and manage to sell 90% of the items. They owed $15000 to their creditors. How much money do they have left after the sale?
Let's think: They sold 2000 * .9 = 1800 items. They offered a 50 * .8 = $40 discount. That means that each item sold for 50 - 40 = $10. So they made 1800 * 10 = $18,000. So they had 18,000 - 15,000 = $3,000 leftover.. The answer is: 3000.

Tamika drove for 8 hours at an average speed of 45 miles per hour. Logan drove for 5 hours at 55 miles an hour. How many miles farther did Tamika drive?
Let's think:
Tamika drove 8 hours * 45 mph = 360 miles. Logan drove 5 hours * 55 mph = 275 miles. 360 - 275 = 85 miles. Tamika drove 85 miles farther.. The answer is: 85.
