Question: Logan makes $65,000 a year. He spends $20,000 on rent every year, $5000 on groceries every year, and $8000 on gas every year. If he wants to have at least $42000 left, how much more money must he make each year?
Answer: Logan spends 20000 + 5000 + 8000 = 33000 a year. Logan has 65000 - 33000 = 32000 left a year. Logan needs to make 42000 - 32000 = 10000 more a year. The answer is 10000.

[Answer]Aiguo = 20 shells. Vail = 20 - 5 = 15 shells. Stefan = 15 + 16 = 31 shells. Total = 20 + 15 + 31 = 66. The 3 children had 66 seashells altogether. The answer is 66.
Q: There are 8 men at a yoga studio with an average weight of 190 pounds and 6 women with an average weight of 120 pounds. What is the average weight of all 14 men and women?
A: The total weight for the 8 men is 8 men * 190 pounds per man = 1520 pounds. The total weight for the 6 women is 6 women * 120 pounds per woman = 720 pounds. The total weight for 14 men and women is 1520 pounds + 720 pounds = 2240 pounds. The average weight per person is 2240 pounds / 14 men and women = 160 pounds. The answer is 160.
Question: Two hedgehogs found three baskets, each with 900 strawberries. The hedgehogs then each ate an equal number of strawberries. If 2/9 of the strawberries were remaining out of all the strawberries that were there, calculate the total number of strawberries that each hedgehog ate.
Answer: The total number of strawberries in the three baskets is 3 * 900 = 2700. If 2 / 9 of the strawberries were remaining out of all the strawberries after the hedgehogs ate some, there were 2 / 9 * 2700 = 600 strawberries remaining. The total number of strawberries that the two hedgehogs ate is 2700 - 600 = 2100 strawberries. If the hedgehogs ate an equal number of strawberries, each ate 2100 / 2 = 1050 strawberries. The answer is 1050.
[Question]Ellie takes her little brother down to the pond to teach him how to skip stones. After he takes his first throw, she gives him pointers to improve his technique. His second throw skips two more times across the water than his first. His third throw skips twice as many times as his second. His fourth throw skips 3 fewer times than his third throw. His fifth throw skips one more time than the fourth throw. If his fifth throw skipped 8 times across the water, how many skips did he make in total between all of his throws?
[Answer]His fourth throw made 8 - 1 = 7 skips. His third throw made 7 + 3 = 10 skips. His second throw made 10 / 2 = 5 skips. His first throw made 5 - 2 = 3 skips. The total number of skips is 8 + 7 + 10 + 5 + 3 = 33 skips. The answer is 33.
