Question: Jessy told eleven jokes this past Saturday, and Alan told seven jokes. If they doubled the number of jokes they told this past Saturday next Saturday, how many jokes would they have told in total together so far?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: This past Saturday, Jessy and Alan told a total of 11 + 7 = 18 jokes together. Since Jessy told eleven jokes this past Saturday, when he doubles the number of jokes next Saturday, the number of jokes will be 2 * 11 = 22 next Saturday. At the same time, after telling seven jokes this Saturday, when he doubles the number of jokes next Saturday, Alan will tell 2 * 7 = 14 jokes. Next Saturday, they will tell 14 + 22 = 36 jokes together. In total, the number of jokes will be 36 + 18 = 54 jokes on the two Saturdays.
So the answer is 54.

Question: Aunt May milks her cows twice a day. This morning she got 365 gallons of milk. This evening she got 380 gallons. She sold 612 gallons to the local ice cream factory. She had 15 gallons left over from yesterday. How many gallons of milk does she have left?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Today Aunt May's cows gave her 365 gallons + 380 = 745 gallons of milk. She had 745 gallons - 612 gallons sold to the ice cream factory = 133 gallons of milk left. Combined with the leftover from yesterday, Aunt May has 133 gallons + 15 gallons = 148 gallons of milk.
So the answer is 148.

Question: Fred had 212 sheets of paper. He received another 307 sheets of paper from Jane and gave Charles 156 sheets of paper. How many sheets of paper does Fred have left?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
He had 212 sheets and received 307 more for a total of 212 + 307 = 519 sheets. He gave out 156 so he has 519 - 156 = 363 sheets.
So the answer is 363.
