Two athletes decided to compete to see who had the best jumping ability. They were each going to do the long jump, triple jump, and high jump to see who had the highest average jump. The first athlete jumped 26 feet in the long jump, 30 feet in the triple jump, and 7 feet in the high jump. The second athlete jumped 24 feet in the long jump, 34 feet in the triple jump, and 8 feet in the high jump. What was the average jump of the winner?
Let's think: The first athlete jumped a total of 63 feet because 26 + 30 + 7 = 63. The second athlete jumped a total of 66 feet because 24 + 34 + 8 = 66. The first athlete jumped 21 feet on average because 63 / 3 = 21. The second athlete jumped 22 feet on average because 66 / 3 = 22. The average jump of the winner was 22 feet because 22 > 21.. The answer is: 22.

John had $20. He spent 1/5 of his money on snacks and 3/4 of the remaining money on necessities. How much is left of John's money?
Let's think: John spent $20 x 1 / 5 = $4 on snacks. He had $20 - $4 = $16 remaining. He spent $16 x 3 / 4 = $12 on his necessities. So, John is left with $16 - $12 = $4.. The answer is: 4.

Greg has lent his sister Tessa money on several occasions. Greg writes down all of his sister's debts in a notebook, the first time he lent her $40. A week later, Tessa paid him back half of her debt. A few days later she asked him for $10 more. How much does Tessa still owe Greg?
Let's think: After Greg lent her $40, Tessa paid him back 40 / 2 = $20. So Tessa's debt was 40 - 20 = $20. Finally, she asked for $10 more, leaving the debt at 20 + 10 = $30.. The answer is: 30.

Let's think:

Show your work and conclude with the exact phrasing "Therefore, the final answer is [answer]." where [answer] is just the final number or expression that solves the problem.

They need $60 / game x 2 games = $120 in total. If one ice cream is sold for $5, they will need to sell $120 ÷ $5 / ice cream = 24 ice creams.. The answer is: 24.
