Consider the Q and A. Q: Frankie's parents let him have many pets. He has six more snakes than he has cats. He has one less parrot than cats. Six of his pets have four legs. He has 2 dogs. How many pets does he have in total?
A: 19
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: He has 6 - 2 = 4 cats. He has 4 - 1 = 3 parrots. He has 4 + 6 = 10 snakes. He has a total of 2 + 4 + 3 + 10 = 19 pets.

Consider the Q and A. Q: Shelby had $20 to take to the book fair. She bought one book for $8 and another for $4. She decided to buy as many $4 posters as she could with the money she had left. How many posters can she buy?
A: 2
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: She spent $8 + $4 = $12 on books. She started with $20, so she has $20 - $12 = $8 left to spend on posters. Each poster costs $4, so she can buy $8 / $4 = 2 posters.

Consider the Q and A. Q: Carrie works for $8 an hour and 35 hours a week at her job. It’s been a month since she started working there. She has saved up all of her money because she wants to buy a bike for $400. How much money will she have left over after she buys her bike?
A: 720
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process:
It will be easy to solve the problem by first calculating how much money she makes in a week at her job by multiplying her hourly rate by the number of hours she works in a week: $8 * 35 = $280 in a week. The weekly earnings need to be multiplied by the number of weeks in a month to get how much she made in a month: $280 * 4 = $1120. The bike’s cost must be subtracted from her earnings made in a month to get how much money is left over after purchasing the bike: $1120 - $400 = $720 is left over after purchasing her bike.
