Q: Joy is winding balls of yarn for her cat to play with. The first ball is half the size of the second ball. The third ball is three times as large as the first ball. She used 27 feet of yarn for the third ball. How many feet of yarn did she use for the second ball?
A: The first ball is a third of the size of the third ball, so it used 27 / 3 = 9 feet of yarn. The second ball is twice the size of the first ball, so she used 9 * 2 = 18 feet of yarn. The answer is 18.
Question: Jenson and Kingsley have a tailoring business. Jenson makes 3 shirts, and Kingsley makes 5 pairs of pants per day. If each shirt uses 2 yards of fabric and a pair of pants uses 5 yards of fabric, how many yards of fabric do they need every 3 days?
Answer: Jenson uses 2 x 3 = 6 yards of fabric for making shirts every day. Kingsley uses 5 x 5 = 25 yards of fabric every day for making pair of pants. So, the total yards of fabric they use per day is 25 + 6 = 31. Therefore, the total yards of fabric they use every 3 days is 31 x 3 = 93. The answer is 93.

[Question]Tracy has a charity book collection store from which she receives book donations from members of her town. Any person who wants to borrow a book is free to do so as long as they return the book after they've finished reading. She has already received 300 book donations. If ten people come and donate five books each in a week, and a total of 140 books are borrowed by other people to read, calculate the total number of books she has remaining in the store?
[Answer]
The ten people donated 10 * 5 = 50 books. The total number of books in her store after the new donations is 300 + 50 = 350 books. When some of the books are borrowed, her total collection becomes 350 - 140 = 210 books. The answer is 210.
