[Question]Jackie loves to climb trees. She climbed a 1000 foot tall tree. Then she climbed 2 trees that were half as tall as the first tree. She finished by climbing a tree that was 200 feet taller than her first tree. What was the average height of the trees that Jackie climbed?
[Answer]Jackie climbed 2 trees that were 1 / 2 * 1000 feet = 500 feet tall each. Jackie climbed a final tree that was 1000 + 200 feet = 1200 feet. In total, the 4 trees Jackie climbed were 1000 feet + 500 feet + 500 feet + 1200 feet = 3200 feet. The average height tree that Jackie climbed was 3200 feet / 4 trees = 800 feet tall. The answer is 800.

Question: Tracy has been collecting novels from her friends to donate to the Children For The Future charity organization. In the first week she collects a certain number of books. In the next five weeks, she collects ten times as many books as she did in the first week. How many books did she collect in the first week if she has 99 books now?
Answer:
Let's say the number of books she had in the first week is x. After six weeks, Tracy has x + x * 10 = 99 books. Combining like terms, we get 11x = 99. Dividing both sides by 11, we find that the number of books Tracy had in the first week is x = 9. The answer is 9.
