Mary and Rose went shopping to buy presents. They spent the same amount. Mary bought two pairs of sunglasses for $50 each and a pair of jeans for $100. Rose bought a pair of shoes at $150 and two decks of basketball cards. How much did one deck of basketball cards cost?
Let's think: Two pairs of sunglasses costs 2 x $50 = $100. So, Mary spent $100 + $100 = $200. Thus, two decks of basketball cards costs $200 - $150 = $50. Therefore, one deck of basketball cards costs $50 / 2 = $25.. The answer is: 25.

Olly wants to get shoes to protect his pets' paws. He owns 3 dogs, 2 cats, and a ferret. How many shoes does he need?
Let's think: All the animals have 4 legs. His 3 dogs will need 3 * 4 = 12 shoes. His 2 cats will need 2 * 4 = 8 shoes. His ferret will need 1 * 4 = 4 shoes. Olly will need 12 + 8 + 4 = 24 shoes.. The answer is: 24.

Bill picked 50 apples from the orchard with his wife and two children. He sends each of his kids to school with 3 apples for their two favorite teachers. His wife Jill bakes two apple pies, using 10 apples per pie. How many apples does Bill have left?
Let's think: Bill gives each of his children 3 apples, so since he has two children this is 3 * 2 = 6 apples. Jill bakes 2 apple pies, using 10 apples each so this means she uses 10 * 2 = 20 apples. In total, this means 20 + 6 = 26 apples were used. Since Bill began with 50 apples, this means there are 50 - 26 = 24 apples remaining.. The answer is: 24.

If Mr. Jones has 6 shirts for every pair of pants, and he has 40 pants, what's the total number of pieces of clothes he owns if all other factors remain the same?
Let's think:
If Mr. Jones has 6 shirts for every pair of pants, and he has 40 pants, the total number of shirts he has is 6 * 40 = 240. The total number of pieces of clothes he owns is 240 + 40 = 280.. The answer is: 280.
