Question: Samira is the assistant coach of a soccer team playing against one of the best teams in their league. She has four dozen water bottles filled with water in a box. In the first break of the match, the 11 players on the field each take two bottles of water from Samira's box, and at the end of the game, take one more bottle each. How many bottles of water are remaining in Samira's box?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: If the box has four dozen bottles of water, there are 4 * 12 = 48 bottles of water in the box. After the first half, the 11 players take 11 * 2 = 22 bottles of water from the box. If they take 11 more bottles of water at the end of the game, the number increases to 22 + 11 = 33 bottles of water taken. Without the bottles taken, there are 48 - 33 = 15 bottles of water remaining in the box.
So the answer is 15.

Question: It takes Nissa 10 seconds to clip each of her cats' nails. 90 seconds to clean each of her ears, and 5 minutes to shampoo her. If the cat has four claws on each foot, how many seconds does grooming her cat take total?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: First find the total number of claws the cat has: 4 claws / foot * 4 feet = 16 claws. Then find the total time Nissa spends cutting the claws: 16 claws * 10 seconds / claw = 160 seconds. Then find the total time she spends cleaning the cats' ears: 90 seconds / ear * 2 ears = 180 seconds. Then find how long the shampooing takes in seconds: 5 minutes * 60 seconds / minute = 300 seconds. Then add the time she spends on each task to find the total time she spends grooming the cat: 160 seconds + 180 seconds + 300 seconds = 640 seconds.
So the answer is 640.

Question: A tomato plant has 100 tomatoes. Jane picks 1/4 of that number for use in their house. After a week, she goes back and picks 20 more tomatoes, and the following week picks twice that number. What's the total number of fruits remaining on the tomato plant?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
When she picks 1 / 4 of the number of tomatoes, she goes home with 1 / 4 * 100 = 25 tomatoes. The total number of tomatoes remaining will be 100 - 25 = 75 tomatoes. After picking 20 more tomatoes the following week, the number of tomatoes remaining is 75 - 20 = 55 tomatoes. The next week she picks twice the number she picked the previous week, that is 20 * 2 = 40 tomatoes. The total number of tomatoes remaining after the final picking is 55 - 40 = 15 tomatoes.
So the answer is 15.
