[Question]Era had 5 burgers for her and her 4 friends. She sliced each burger into halves. The first and second friends got 1 and 2 slices, respectively. Then the third and fourth friends got 3 slices each. How many slices of burgers are left for Era?
[Answer]There are 5 x 1 / 2 = 10 halves of burgers made from 5 whole burgers. Era's first and second friends got 1 + 2 = 3 slices together. Her third and fourth friends got 3 + 3 = 6 slices together. Era's four friends got 3 + 6 = 9 slices. So, Era is left with 10 - 9 = 1 slice. The answer is 1.

Question: Porter is a painter who creates beautiful paintings of wild animals. Most recently, he painted a mural of a pack of wolves standing on a snowy-white mountainside underneath a full moon. He put the painting up for auction and it sold for $1000 less than five times more than he had made on his previous painting. If he received $44,000 for the sale of his most recent painting, how much, in dollars, did he make for selling his previous painting?
Answer: If $44,000 is $1000 less than five times more than he had made on his previous painting, then $44,000 + $1000 = $45,000 is five times what he made on his previous painting. If $45,000 is five times what he made for his previous painting, then he made $45,000 / 5 = $9,000 for selling his previous painting. The answer is 9000.
