Q: In a town, there are four primary schools. Two of them can teach 400 students at a time, and the other two 340 students at a time. How many students at a time in total, can these four primary schools teach?
A: Two schools can teach 400 students, so in total, they can teach 2 * 400 = 800 students. The other two schools can teach 340 students, which gives 2 * 340 = 680 students in total. So all four schools can teach 800 + 680 = 1480 students at a time. The answer is 1480.
Question: John decides to get a new phone number and it ends up being a recycled number. He used to get 20 text messages a day. Now he is getting 55. Assuming the number of texts his friends send has not changed, how many text messages per week is he getting that are not intended for him?
Answer: He is getting an extra 55 - 20 = 35 text messages per day. So he is getting an extra 35 * 7 = 245 text messages per week. The answer is 245.
[Question]Calen originally had 5 more pencils than does Caleb, and Caleb has 3 less than twice as many pencils as does Candy. If Calen lost 10 pencils, which left him with 10 pencils, then how many pencils does Candy have?
[Answer]If Calen lost 10 pencils, which left him with 10 pencils, then Calen originally had 10 + 10 = 20 pencils. Calen originally had 5 more pencils than does Caleb, and thus Caleb has 20 - 5 = 15 pencils. Let's let "x" represent the number of pencils owned by Candy. Since Caleb has 3 less than twice as many pencils as does Candy, then (2 * x) - 3 = 15. This simplifies to 2 * x = 18. Thus, the number of pencils owned by Candy is x = 9 pencils. The answer is 9.
