Question: Jade had $38 and her sister Julia had half as much money she had. On New Year's eve, their aunt gave each of them an equal amount of money so that they had a total of $97. How much did their aunt give each of them?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Julia had $38 / 2 = $19. Before their aunt gave them money, Jade and Julia had a total of $38 + $19 = $57. So, the total amount that their aunt gave them was $97 - $57 = $40. Thus, each of them was given $40 / 2 = $20.
So the answer is 20.

Question: A building has 20 floors. Each floor is 3 meters high, except for the last two floors. The last two floors are each 0.5 meters higher. How tall is the building?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: There are 20 - 2 = 18 floors that are each 3 meters high. So the first 18 floors is 18 x 3 = 54 meters high. The last two floors are each 3 + 0.5 = 3.5 meters high. So the total height of the last two floors is 3.5 x 2 = 7 meters. Therefore, the building is 54 + 7 = 61 meters high.
So the answer is 61.

Question: Jerry has three times as many stickers as George. George has 6 fewer stickers than his brother Fred. If Fred has 18 stickers, how many stickers does Jerry have?

George has 18 - 6 = 12 stickers. Jerry has 12 * 3 = 36 stickers.
So the answer is 36.
