Clayton plays basketball on a team. He has played three games so far. In the first game, he scored 10 points. In the second game, he scored 14 points. In the third game, he scored 6 points. In the fourth game, he scored the average of his points from the first three games. How many total points did Clayton score during the first four games? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. During the first three games Clayton scored 10 points + 14 + 6 = 30 points. The average for Clayton's first three games is 30 points / 3 = 10 points per game. For the first four games, Clayton scored 30 points + 10 points = 40 points.. The answer is: 40.

The long jump finals contained four national champions competing against one another. The first competitor jumped a distance of 22 feet. The second competitor jumped one foot farther than the first competitor. The third competitor jumped two feet shorter than the third competitor. And the fourth competitor jumped 3 feet further than the third competitor. How long, in feet, did the fourth competitor jump? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. The second competitor jumped one foot farther than the first competitor, for a distance of 22 + 1 = 23 feet. The third competitor jumped two feet shorter than the third competitor, for a distance of 23 - 2 = 21 feet. And the fourth competitor jumped 3 feet further than the third competitor, for a distance of 21 + 3 = 24 feet.. The answer is: 24.

Oliver is working out in a gym. On Monday he worked out for 4 hours, and the next day for 2 hours less. On Wednesday he decided to work out twice as much as on Monday. On Thursday the gym was closed, so Oliver needed to exercise at home which took twice as much time as on Tuesday. How many hours in total have Oliver worked out during these four days? Give the rationale and then the answer.

Let's think step by step. On Tuesday, Oliver worked out for 4 - 2 = 2 hours. On Wednesday he decided to work out twice as much as on Monday, so for 2 * 4 = 8 hours. On Thursday, at home, Oliver trained twice as much as on Tuesday, so for 2 * 2 = 4 hours. In total Oliver trained for 4 + 2 + 8 + 4 = 18 hours.. The answer is: 18.
