Q: Mary and her two friends agreed to evenly pay for the cost of 2 pounds of chicken. Mary's mother went to the grocery and bought the 2-pound chicken, 3 pounds of beef that cost $4 per pound, and a liter of oil that costs $1. If Mary's mother paid a total of $16 for the grocery, how much should Mary and her two friends pay each for the chicken?
A: Three pounds of beef cost $4 x 3 = $12. Mary's mother paid $12 + $1 = $13 for the beef and oil. Hence, the 2 - pound chicken cost $16 - $13 = $3. There are 1 (Mary) + 2 friends = 3 people who will split the $3 cost. Therefore, each of them will pay $3 / 3 = $1. The answer is 1.

Q: Homer scored 400 points on the first try in a Candy crush game, 70 points fewer on the second try, and twice the number of points she scored on the second try on the third try. What's the total number of points that she scored in all tries?
A: If Homer scored 400 points on the first try, he scored 400 - 70 = 330 points on the second try. The total number of points that Homer scored in the game after two tries are 400 + 330 = 730. On the third try of the Candy crush game, Homer scored twice the number of points she scored on the second try, a total of 2 * 330 = 660 points. In all the tries of the game, Homer scored 660 + 730 = 1390 points. The answer is 1390.
