If Layla scored 104 goals in four hockey games and Kristin scored 24 fewer goals in the same four games, calculate the average number of goals the two scored.
Let's think: If Layla scored 104 goals in four hockey games and Kristin scored 24 fewer goals in the same four games, Kristin scored 104 - 24 = 80 goals. The combined number of goals they scored is 80 + 104 = 184. The average number of goals they scored is 184 / 2 = 92.. The answer is: 92.

Tommy has 13 items in his pencil case. The pens are twice as many as the pencils and there's one eraser. How many pencils are there?
Let's think: There are 13 items - 1 eraser = 12 pens and pencils. There are 12 items / 3 = 4 pencils.. The answer is: 4.

Joseph drives his car at 50 mph for 2.5 hours. Kyle drives his car at 62 mph for 2 hours. How many more miles does Joseph drive than Kyle?
Let's think: Joseph travels for 50 * 2.5 = 125 miles. Kyle travels for 62 * 2 = 124 miles. Joseph drives for 125 - 124 = 1 mile more than Kyle.. The answer is: 1.

A bag of dozen apples costs $14 and Brian has already spent $10 on kiwis and half that much on bananas. What's the maximum number of apples Brian can buy if he left his house with only $50 and needs to pay the $3.50 subway fare each way?

Brian requires a total of $3.50 + $3.50 = $7 to pay for the round trip subway fare. We also know he has spent half (1 / 2) the amount he spent on kiwis on bananas, so he'll spend (1 / 2) * $10 = $5 on bananas. So far in total he has spent $7 for his subway fare + $5 on bananas + $10 on kiwis = $7 + $5 + $10 = $22. If he left his house with only $50, then all he will have left for apples would be $50 - $22 = $28. If a bag of apples costs $14, then Brian would only be able to buy a maximum of $28 / $14 = 2 bags of apples. If each bag of apples has a dozen (12) apples, then (2) two bags will have 12 * 2 = 24 apples.. The answer is: 24.
