Question: Jenny has a tummy ache. Her brother Mike says that it is because Jenny ate 5 more than thrice the number of chocolate squares that he ate. If Mike ate 20 chocolate squares, how many did Jenny eat? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
Thrice the number of chocolate squares that Mike ate is 20 squares * 3 = 60 squares. Jenny therefore ate 60 squares + 5 squares = 65 chocolate squares. So the answer is 65.
