Question: A soccer team has three goalies and ten defenders. The team also has twice as many midfielders as defenders, and the rest of the players are strikers. If the team has 40 players, how many strikers are in the team?
Answer: The team's total number of goalies and defenders is 3 + 10 = 13. The number of midfielders in the team is twice the number of defenders, which means there are 2 * 10 = 20 defenders in the team. The total number of players in the team playing the positions of goalies, defenders and midfielders is 20 + 13 = 33. If there are 40 players in the team, then the number of strikes in the team is 40 - 33 = 7. The answer is 7.
[Question]How long is it before Kayla can reach the minimum age of driving of her state, which is 18, if she is currently half the age of her sister Kimiko who is 26 years old?
[Answer]If Kimiko is 26 years old, Kayla, who is half her age, is 26 / 2 = 13 years old. Sine the minimum driving age is 18, Kayla will have to wait for 18 - 13 = 5 more years to start driving. The answer is 5.
Q: Calvin and Phoebe each have 8 more pastries than Frank but only five less than Grace. If Grace has 30 pastries, calculate the total number of pastries that the four have?
A: If Grace has 30 pastries, then both Phoebe and Calvin each have 30 - 5 = 25 pastries. The total number of pastries that Phoebe and Calvin have is 25 + 25 = 50. Together, Phoebe, Calvin, and Grace have 50 + 30 = 80 pastries. Since Calvin and Phoebe each have 8 more pastries than Frank, then Frank has 25 - 8 = 17 pastries. Altogether, the four have 17 + 80 = 97 pastries. The answer is 97.

[Question]Happy Cattle Ranch is home to 200 cows. Every year, the mother cows have enough calves that the number of cows the rancher owns rises by half the number of cows living on the ranch. If the rancher does not buy or sell any cows, how many cows will the rancher own on Happy Cattle Ranch in two years?
[Answer]
In one year, the rancher will have 200 + 200 / 2 = 200 + 100 = 300 cows. In two years, the rancher will have 300 + 300 / 2 = 300 + 150 = 450 cows. The answer is 450.
