Gabby is saving money to buy a new makeup set. The makeup set costs $65 and she already has $35. Gabby's mom gives her an additional $20. How much money does Gabby need to buy the set?
Let's think: Deduct the amount saved from the total cost of the set. $65 - $35 = $30. Deduct the amount of money Gabby received from her mom. $30 - $20 = $10.. The answer is: 10.

Taegan goes to a carnival where she wins tickets from each of the 5 carnival games and also finds 5 tickets on the floor. Each ticket is worth $3. In total, she has tickets that total a value of $30. If Taegan won an equal number of tickets from each of the games, how many tickets did she win from each game?
Let's think: If tickets are valued at $3 then in total, Taegan has won $30 in total tickets / $3 per ticket = 10 tickets. Some of these tickets were found so only 10 total tickets 5 found tickets = 5 tickets were won from carnival games. She therefore won 5 tickets / 5 carnival games = 1 ticket from each game.. The answer is: 1.

To support the school outreach program, Einstein wants to raise $500 by selling snacks. One box of pizza sells for $12, a pack of potato fries sells for $0.30, and a can of soda at $2. Einstein sold 15 boxes of pizzas, 40 packs of potato fries, and 25 cans of soda. How much more money does Einstein need to raise to reach his goal?
Let's think: Einstein collected 15 x $12 = $180 for selling pizzas. He collected 40 x $0.30 = $12 for the 40 packs of potato fries. He collected 25 x $2 = $50 for the 25 cans of soda. Thus, the total amount section Einstein collected was $180 + $12 + $50 = $242. Therefore, Einstein needs $500 - $242 = $258 more to reach the goal.. The answer is: 258.

If I give my brother 2 marbles I will have double his number of marbles, but my friend will have triple the number I do. The total number of marbles we have together is 63. How many marbles do I have?
Let's think:
Let X be the number of marbles I have. If I give my brother 2 marbles, I'll have X - 2 marbles left. And my brother will have (X - 2) / 2 marbles. And my friend will have (X - 2) * 3 left. So the total number of marbles is X - 2 + (X - 2) / 2 + (X - 2) * 3 = 63. (X - 2) * 9 / 2 = 63. X - 2 = 14. X = 16 marbles.. The answer is: 16.
