Question: Lefty scores 20 points in a game and his teammate Righty scores half as many as Lefty does. Their other teammate scores 6 times as much as Righty does. What are the average points scored per player on the team?
Answer: First, we need to determine how many points Righty scored. To do this we perform 20 / 2 = 10 points since Righty scored half as many as Lefty did. Then, to find the other teammate's points we perform 10 * 6 = 60 points scored, as they scored 6 times as many as Righty did. We then add all three teammates' points together, performing 20 + 10 + 60 = 90 points as the first step towards finding the average. We then divide this sum by the total number of players we're averaging, getting 90 / 3 = 30 points per player. The answer is 30.

[Answer]Brayden and Gavin scored 7 touchdowns * 7 points each = 49 points. Cole and Freddy scored 9 touchdowns * 7 points each = 63 points. Cole and Freddy's team had 63 - 49 points = 14 points more than Brayden and Gavin's team. The answer is 14.
Q: In the final game of the basketball season, four players scored points. Chandra scored twice as many points as did Akiko. Akiko scored 4 more points than did Michiko, and Michiko scored half as many points as did Bailey. If Bailey scored 14 points, how many points in total did the team score in the final game of the season?
A: If Bailey scored 14 points, and Michiko scored half as many points as Bailey, then Michiko scored 14 / 2 = 7 points. If Akiko scored 4 more points than did Michiko, then Akiko scored 7 + 4 = 11 points. Since Chandra scored twice as many points as did Akiko, then Chandra scored 11 * 2 = 22 points. Thus, in total, the team scored 14 + 7 + 11 + 22 = 54 points in total during the final game of the season. The answer is 54.
Question: A school is buying virus protection software to cover 50 devices. One software package costs $40 and covers up to 5 devices. The other software package costs $60 and covers up to 10 devices. How much money, in dollars, can the school save by buying the $60 software package instead of the $40 software package?
Answer: There are 50 / 5 = 10 sets of 5 devices in the school. So the school will pay a total of $40 x 10 = $400 for the $40 software package. There are 50 / 10 = 5 sets of 10 devices in the school. So the school will pay a total of $60 x 5 = $300 for the $60 software package. Thus, the school can save $400 - $100 = $300 from buying the $60 software instead of the $40 software package. The answer is 100.

[Question]Jennifer wants to go to a museum. There is one 5 miles away from her home and one 15 miles away. If Jennifer goes to both museums on two separate days, how many miles total will she travel?
[Answer]
Jennifer's home is 5 miles away from the first museum, so the round trip back and forth is 5 miles there + 5 miles back = 10 miles altogether. On another day Jennifer goes to a museum 15 miles away + 15 miles to return home = 30 miles total. Combined, Jennifer travels 10 miles on the first day + 30 miles on the second day = 40 miles Jennifer travels total. The answer is 40.
