A dragon hoards jewels and gold in its cave. A jealous king snuck in and stole three prize jewels. The dragon burned him to a crisp and stole back its jewels, along with twice as many of the king's crown jewels from his crown that melted in the dragon's fire. The new jewels were a third of the number of jewels the dragon had owned before. How many jewels did the dragon own in the end? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. The dragon stole 2 * 3 = 6 of the king's crown jewels. The dragon owned 6 * 3 = 18 jewels before the theft. Thus, the dragon owned 18 + 6 = 24 jewels in the end.. The answer is: 24.

A flower shop sells bouquets of roses, which each contain 12 roses, and bouquets of daisies, which each contain an equal amount of daisies. The flower shop sells 20 bouquets today. 10 of these were rose bouquets and the remaining 10 bouquets were daisy bouquets. If the flower shop has sold 190 flowers in total today, how many daisies are in each bouquet of daisies? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. The flower shop sold 10 bouquets * 12 roses / bouquets = 120 roses. This means they sold a total of 190 flowers 120 roses = 70 daisies. Therefore, each daisy bouquet contains 70 daisies / 10 bouquets = 7 daisies per bouquet.. The answer is: 7.

A bird watcher records the number of birds he sees each day. One Monday he sees 70 birds. On Tuesday he sees half as many birds as he did on Monday. On Wednesday he sees 8 more birds than he did on Tuesday. How many total birds did the bird watcher see from Monday to Wednesday? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. Monday:70. Tuesday:70 / 2 = 35. Wednesday:35 + 8 = 43. Total:70 + 35 + 43 = 148 birds.. The answer is: 148.
