Q: Carl wants to buy a new coat that is quite expensive. He saved $25 each week for 6 weeks. On the seventh week, he had to use a third of his saving to pay some bills. On the eighth week, his dad gave him some extra money for him to buy his dream coat. If the coat cost $170, how much money did his dad give him?
A: Carl saved in 6 weeks $25 / week x 6 weeks = $150. On the seventh week, he ended up having to pay in bills $150 / 3 = $50. His savings were then $150 - $50 = $100. His dad gave him $170 $100 = $70. The answer is 70.

[Question]Toby wants to walk an average of 9,000 steps per day over the next week. On Sunday he walked 9,400 steps. On Monday he walked 9,100 steps. On Tuesday he walked 8,300 steps. On Wednesday he walked 9,200 steps. On Thursday he walked 8,900 steps. How many steps does he need to average on Friday and Saturday to meet his goal?
[Answer]He needs to walk 63,000 steps in a week because 7 x 9,000 = 63,000. He has 18,100 steps to walk on Friday and Saturday because 63,000 - 9,400 - 9,100 - 8,300 - 9,200 - 8,900 = 18,100. He needs to walk an average of 9,050 on Friday and Saturday because 18,100 / 2 = 9,050. The answer is 9050.
Q: Stephen ordered 2 large pizzas, both cut into 12 slices. He ate 25% of the pizza. His friend Pete ate 50% of the remaining pizza. How many slices are left over?
A: He ordered 2 pizzas, each cut into 12 slices so that's 2 * 12 = 24 slices. Stephen ate 25% of the pizza so he ate .25 * 24 = 6 slices. That leaves 24 - 6 = 18 slices. 18 slices are left and Pete eats 50% of 18 slices so he eats 18 * .50 = 9 slices. If there were 18 slices and Pete ate 9 slices then there are 18 - 9 = 9 slices left over. The answer is 9.
Question: Jess made 3 different stacks of wooden blocks. The first stack was 7 blocks high, the second stack was 5 block(s) higher than the first, and the final stack was 7 block(s) higher than the second. Jess' little sister knocked over the entire first tower, in the second tower she left 2 blocks standing, and in the final tower she left 3 blocks standing. How many blocks in total fell down?
Answer:
Jess' second stack was 7 blocks + 5 blocks = 12 blocks. Jess' third stack was 12 blocks + 7 blocks = 19 blocks high. Jess' sister knocked down the second tower and knocked 12 blocks 2 = 10 blocks knocked over. Jess' sister knocked down the final tower and knocked 19 blocks 3 = 16 blocks knocked over. Total blocks knocked over was 7 blocks + 10 + 16 = 33 blocks. The answer is 33.
