Q: Samantha's last name has three fewer letters than Bobbie's last name. If Bobbie took two letters off her last name, she would have a last name twice the length of Jamie's. Jamie's full name is Jamie Grey. How many letters are in Samantha's last name?
A: 7
Explain how we arrive at this answer:
Explanation: There are 4 letters in Jamie's last name, so Bobbie's name is 4 * 2 + 2 = 10 letters long. Samantha's last name is 3 letters shorter than Bobbie's, so there are 10 - 3 = 7 letters in Samantha's last name.
