Question: Denver uses 7 pieces of wood for each birdhouse and he pays $1.50 for each piece of wood. If he makes a $5.50 profit per birdhouse, how much will Denver charge to Danny for buying two birdhouses?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: The cost for making one birdhouse is $1.50 x 7 = $10.50. So the selling price of one birdhouse is $10.50 + $5.50 = $16. Thus, Denver will charge Danny $16 x 2 = $32 for the two birdhouses.
So the answer is 32.

Question: A family has three adults and children, both girls and boys. They went out for a family trip and prepared 3 dozen boiled eggs for the trip. Every adult got 3 eggs, and the boys each received 1 more egg than each girl since the girls had some snacks. How many boys went on the trip if the number of girls was 7 and each girl received an egg?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: The total number of eggs the family had is 3 * 12 = 36 eggs. If each adult received 3 eggs, the total number of eggs they got is 3 * 3 = 9 eggs. The children shared 36 - 9 = 27 eggs. Since each girl received an egg, the boys shared 27 - 7 = 20 eggs. If each boy received 1 egg more than each girl, each received 1 + 1 = 2 eggs. The boys received 20 eggs, and if each got 2 eggs, then 20 / 2 = 10 boys went on the trip.
So the answer is 10.

Question: Macy and Piper went to the batting cages. Each token gets you 15 pitches. Macy used 11 tokens and Piper used 17. Macy hit the ball 50 times. Piper hit the ball 55 times. How many pitches did Macy and Piper miss altogether?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
Macy used 11 tokens which are worth 15 pitches each, so 11 tokens x 15 pitches = 165 pitches. Piper used 17 tokens x 15 pitches = 255 pitches. Together, Macy and Piper received 165 + 255 = 420 pitches. Macy hit the ball 50 times + Piper's 55 hits = 105 total hits. Of the 420 pitches 105 total hits = 315 misses.
So the answer is 315.
