Question: Eric sorted 150 colored pencils into 5 containers for his art class. Before class, another teacher brought him 30 more pencils. How many can he evenly distribute between the five containers now?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Before the extra colored pencils, he had 150 / 5 = 30 colored pencils in each container. With the other colored pencils, he is given he now has 150 + 30 = 180 colored pencils. If you distribute them evenly each container should have 180 / 5 = 36 colored pencils.
So the answer is 36.

Question: Arven bought five puppies for a total cost of $800. Three puppies are on sale for $150 each. How much does each of those two other puppies cost if they cost the same?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
Three puppies on sale cost $150 x 3 = $450. The other two puppies cost $800 - $450 = $350. So, each of those two other puppies cost $350 / 2 = $175.
So the answer is 175.
