Q: Sarah is playing tic-tac-toe. She wins $1 for every game she wins, $0 for every game she ties, and she loses $2 for every game she loses. If she played 100 games where she tied 40 of them, and she lost $30, how many games did she win?
A: She either won or lost 60 games because 100 - 40 = 60. We know that 1(60 - Losses) - 2(Losses) = - 30 because she lost $30. Therefore 60 - Losses - 2 Losses = - 30. Therefore - 3 Losses = - 90. Therefore, Losses = 30. The answer is 30.

Q: A store offers a $2 discount for every $10 purchase on any item in the store. Kataleya went to the store and bought 400 peaches sold at forty cents each. Calculate the total amount of money she paid at the store for the fruits.
A: The total cost for the peaches was 400 * $0.40 = $160. The total count of 10 dollar purchases Kataleya received a discount on was $160 / $10 = 16. If each purchase had a $2 discount, the total discount she received is 16 * $2 = $32. She purchased the peaches at $160 - $32 = $128. The answer is 128.

Q: Abe finds 4 ants on the sidewalk. Beth sees 50% more ants than Abe. CeCe watches twice as many ants as Abe. Duke discovers half as many ants as Abe. How many ants do the four children find together?
A:
Beth finds 4 + 2 = 6 ants. CeCe finds 4 x 2 = 8 ants. Duke finds 4 / 2 = 2 ants. The four children find 4 + 6 + 8 + 2 = 20 ants. The answer is 20.
