Problem: Liam had $90 in twenties, tens and fives. He spent $81 on a new video game. How much money in dollars does Liam have left?

Gemma 2B:

    Let's solve this problem step by step:

    1. Understand the given information:
       * Liam had a total of $90.
       * The money was in twenties, tens, and fives.
       * Liam spent $81 on a new video game.

    2. Calculate the amount of money Liam has left:
       * Money left = Total money - Money spent
       * Money left = $90 - $81
       * Money left = $9

    Therefore, Liam has $9 left after buying the video game.

    ### Answer: 9

Expected answer: 9

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: Liam actually had $99 in twenties, tens and fives instead of $90. After spending $81 on a new video game, how much money in dollars does Liam have left now?

Gemma 2B:

    I apologize for the confusion. Let's solve the problem with the updated information.

    Given:
    - Liam had $99 in twenties, tens, and fives.
    - Liam spent $81 on a new video game.

    To find out how much money Liam has left, we need to subtract the amount he spent from the total amount he had initially.

    Money left = Total money - Money spent
    Money left = $99 - $81
    Money left = $18

    Therefore, Liam has $18 left after buying the video game.

    ### Answer: 18

Expected answer: 18

🔗 Problem

Problem: Maria has 37 cents in nickels. After spending 12 cents on bubblegum, how much does she have left?

Gemma 2B:

    Let's solve this problem step by step:

    1. First, let's find out how many nickels Maria has initially:
       * 1 nickel = 5 cents
       * 37 cents ÷ 5 cents per nickel = 7 remainder 2
       * So, Maria has 7 nickels and 2 cents left over.

    2. Maria spends 12 cents on bubblegum:
       * 12 cents = 2 nickels + 2 cents
       * Maria spends 2 nickels and 2 cents on bubblegum.

    3. Now, let's calculate how much money Maria has left:
       * Initial amount: 7 nickels and 2 cents
       * Spent: 2 nickels and 2 cents
       * Remaining: 7 - 2 = 5 nickels, and 2 - 2 = 0 cents
       * 5 nickels × 5 cents per nickel = 25 cents

    Therefore, after spending 12 cents on bubblegum, Maria has 25 cents left.

    ### Answer: 25 cents

Expected answer: 25

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: After Maria spent 12 cents on bubblegum, she decided to save the rest of her money. If she manages to save exactly the same amount next week, how much will she have in total?

Gemma 2B:

    Great! Let's continue from where we left off in the previous problem. We know that after spending 12 cents on bubblegum, Maria has 25 cents left.

    Given:
    - Maria has 25 cents left after spending 12 cents on bubblegum.
    - She plans to save the same amount next week.

    Now, let's calculate the total amount Maria will have after saving the same amount next week:

    1. Amount saved this week:
       * Maria has 25 cents left, which she will save.

    2. Amount saved next week:
       * Maria will save exactly the same amount next week, which is 25 cents.

    3. Total amount saved:
       * Total = Amount saved this week + Amount saved next week
       * Total = 25 cents + 25 cents
       * Total = 50 cents

    Therefore, if Maria manages to save exactly the same amount next week, she will have a total of 50 cents.

    ### Answer: 50 cents

Expected answer: 50

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: Maria initially had 37 cents in nickels. However, instead of spending 12 cents on bubblegum, what if she spent 28 cents on bubblegum instead? How much money would she have left then?

Gemma 2B:

    Okay, let's solve this problem with the new information:

    1. We know that Maria initially has 37 cents in nickels:
       * 1 nickel = 5 cents
       * 37 cents ÷ 5 cents per nickel = 7 remainder 2
       * So, Maria has 7 nickels and 2 cents left over.

    2. Now, Maria spends 28 cents on bubblegum:
       * 28 cents = 5 nickels + 3 cents
       * Maria spends 5 nickels and 3 cents on bubblegum.

    3. Let's calculate how much money Maria has left:
       * Initial amount: 7 nickels and 2 cents
       * Spent: 5 nickels and 3 cents
       * Remaining: 7 - 5 = 2 nickels, but she doesn't have enough cents to cover the 3 cents spent
       * So, she needs to use one more nickel to cover the 3 cents
       * Final remaining amount: 1 nickel and 4 cents (2 cents left over + 2 cents change from the nickel)
       * 1 nickel × 5 cents per nickel + 4 cents = 9 cents

    Therefore, after spending 28 cents on bubblegum, Maria would have 9 cents left.

    ### Answer: 9 cents

Expected answer: 9

Correct? Yes

Problem: Mario has saved up $79 for a new video game. He then spent $3 on a snack. After that, he bought the video game which costs $72. How much money does he have left?

Gemma 2B:

    Let's solve this problem step by step:

    1. Mario initially saved $79 for the video game.

    2. He spent $3 on a snack.
       * Remaining money after buying the snack = $79 - $3 = $76

    3. He then bought the video game which costs $72.
       * Remaining money after buying the video game = $76 - $72 = $4

    Therefore, Mario has $4 left after buying the snack and the video game.

    ### Answer: $4

    Okay, let's update the problem with the new information and solve it step by step:

    1. Mario initially had $80, not $79.

    2. He spent $3 on a snack.
       * Remaining money after buying the snack = $80 - $3 = $77

    3. He then bought the video game which costs $72.
       * Remaining money after buying the video game = $77 - $72 = $5

    Therefore, with the updated information, Mario has $5 left after buying the snack and the video game.

Problem: Lucas goes to the store and buys two toys. Each toy costs $29. What is the total cost of the two toys?

Gemma 2B:

    To solve this problem, let's organize the given information and find the solution step by step:

    * Lucas buys two toys.
    * Each toy costs $29.

    To find the total cost of the two toys, we need to multiply the cost of one toy by the number of toys Lucas bought.

    Total cost = Cost of one toy × Number of toys
    Total cost = $29 × 2
    Total cost = $58

    Therefore, the total cost of the two toys is $58.

    Given:
    - Lucas bought two toys, each costing $29.
    - The total cost of the two toys is $58.
    - Lucas also decides to buy a board game that costs $20.

    Step 1: Calculate the total cost of the toys and the board game.
    Total cost = Cost of the toys + Cost of the board game
    Total cost = $58 + $20
    Total cost = $78

    Therefore, Lucas needs to pay a total of $78 for the toys and the board game.

Gemma 2B:

    Great! Let's solve this problem step by step. We'll use the information from the previous problem and the new information provided.

    Given:
    - Lucas originally bought two toys, each costing $29.
    - He decides to return one of the $29 toys and exchange it for another toy that costs $8.

    Step 1: Determine the cost of the remaining $29 toy.
    Remaining toy cost = $29

    Step 2: Calculate the cost of the exchanged toy.
    Exchanged toy cost = $8

    Step 3: Calculate the total cost of the exchanged toy and the remaining $29 toy.
    Total cost = Remaining toy cost + Exchanged toy cost
    Total cost = $29 + $8
    Total cost = $37

    * Marie had $19 saved from her allowance.
    * She received $32 from her grandma as a birthday gift.
    * She earned an additional $14 from mowing a neighbor's lawn.

    To find the total amount of money Marie has now, we need to add all these amounts together:

    $19 (saved from allowance) + $32 (birthday gift from grandma) + $14 (earned from mowing lawn) = $19 + $32 + $14
    <<19+32+14=65>>= $65

    * She received $32 from her grandma as a birthday gift.
    * She earned an additional $14 from mowing a neighbor's lawn.
    * She needs to pay back her friend $32 that she borrowed last week.

    First, let's calculate the total amount of money Marie had before paying her friend:

    $19 (saved from allowance) + $32 (birthday gift from grandma) + $14 (earned from mowing lawn) = $19 + $32 + $14
    <<19+32+14=65>>= $65

    Now, we need to subtract the amount she needs to pay back her friend:

    $65 (total money before paying back) - $32 (amount to pay back to her friend) = $65 - $32
    <<65-32=33>>= $33

       * Quarters left after buying the book = 62 - 9
       * Quarters left after buying the book = <<62-9=53>>53

    3. Now, let's calculate how many quarters are left after buying the stationary items:
       * Quarters left after buying stationary = Quarters left after buying the book - Quarters spent on stationary
       * Quarters left after buying stationary = 53 - 35

Problem: Marcus has $47 in his savings account he has been working on. He mows his neighbor elderly lady's lawn, and she gives him $29 to add to his savings. How much money does Marcus have now in total?

Gemma 2B:

    Let's organize the information we have:
    * Marcus has $47 in his savings account.
    * He earns $29 by mowing his neighbor's lawn.
    * He adds the $29 to his savings account.

    To find the total amount of money Marcus has now, we need to add the money he had initially in his savings account to the money he earned from mowing the lawn.

    Total money = Initial savings + Money earned from mowing the lawn
    Total money = $47 + $29
    Total money = $47 + $29 = $76

    Therefore, Marcus now has a total of $76 in his savings account.

Problem: Continuing from the previous scenario, Marcus decided to buy a brand new video game that costs $41 from his savings. How much money will Marcus have left in his savings account after he buys the video game?

Gemma 2B:

    Great! Let's continue with the problem. We know that:
    * Marcus had $76 in his savings account.
    * He wants to buy a video game that costs $41.

    To find out how much money Marcus will have left in his savings account after buying the video game, we need to subtract the cost of the video game from his current savings.

    Money left = Current savings - Cost of the video game
    Money left = $76 - $41
    Money left = $76 - $41 = $35

    So, after buying the video game, Marcus will have $35 left in his savings account.

    ### Answer: $35

    * Marcus has $4 in his savings account (instead of $47).
    * He earns $29 by mowing his neighbor's lawn.
    * He adds the $29 to his savings account.

    To find the total amount of money Marcus has now, we need to add the money he had initially in his savings account to the money he earned from mowing the lawn.

    Total money = Initial savings + Money earned from mowing the lawn
    Total money = $4 + $29
    Total money = $4 + $29 = $33

    Therefore, with the updated initial savings of $4, Marcus would have a total of $33 in his savings account after receiving the extra $29 from mowing his neighbor's lawn.

    3. After his sister gives him some pennies, he has a total of 35 quarters worth of coins.

    To find out how many quarters' worth of pennies Ryan's sister gave him, we need to:
    1. Calculate the value of the quarters Ryan has after buying the pencil.
    2. Subtract that value from the total value of coins he has after receiving the pennies.

    Calculation:
    * Ryan has 6 quarters left after buying the pencil.
    * The total value of coins after receiving the pennies is equivalent to 35 quarters.
    * Quarters' worth of pennies = Total value after pennies - Value of remaining quarters
    * Quarters' worth of pennies = 35 - 6 = 29

    Let's organize the information we have:
    * Eddie has $26 in his piggy bank
    * His aunt gives him $6 for his birthday
    * His parents give him $62 for doing well in school

    To find the total amount of money Eddie has, we need to add all these amounts together:

    * After buying the accessory, he has $26 left
    * His aunt gives him an additional $6 to congratulate him
    * His aunt then decides to give him $5 more

    To find the total amount of money Eddie has now, we need to add the money he has left after buying the accessory and the additional money from his aunt:

    $26 (remaining money) + $6 (additional money from aunt) + $5 (extra money from aunt) = $26 + $6 + $5 = $37

Problem: Samantha has been saving up her allowance in her piggy bank. She has 48 quarters in her piggy bank and then on her birthday, she receives a gift of 37 more quarters. How many quarters does Samantha have in total now?

Gemma 2B:

    Let's organize the information we have:
    * Samantha initially has 48 quarters in her piggy bank.
    * On her birthday, she receives 37 more quarters.

    To find the total number of quarters Samantha has now, we need to add the number of quarters she had initially and the number of quarters she received on her birthday.

    Initial quarters = 48
    Birthday quarters = 37
    Total quarters = Initial quarters + Birthday quarters
    Total quarters = 48 + 37 = <<48+37=85>>85

    Therefore, Samantha now has a total of 85 quarters in her piggy bank.

    ### Answer: 85

Expected answer: 85

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: Following up from the previous problem, Samantha decides to buy a toy that cost 34 quarters from her total savings. How many quarters will she have left after buying the toy?

    Great! Let's continue from the previous problem. We know that:
    * Samantha has a total of 85 quarters in her piggy bank.
    * She decides to buy a toy that costs 34 quarters.

    To find out how many quarters Samantha will have left after buying the toy, we need to subtract the cost of the toy from her total savings.

    Total quarters = 85
    Cost of the toy = 34
    Remaining quarters = Total quarters - Cost of the toy
    Remaining quarters = 85 - 34 = <<85-34=51>>51

    So, after buying the toy, Samantha will have 51 quarters left in her piggy bank.

    ### Answer: 51

Expected answer: 51

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: Suppose originally Samantha had 38 quarters instead of 48 in her piggy bank before she received the gift of 37 more quarters. Now how many quarters does Samantha have in total?

Gemma 2B:

    Let's update the information based on the new scenario:
    * Samantha initially has 38 quarters in her piggy bank.
    * On her birthday, she receives 37 more quarters.

    To find the total number of quarters Samantha has now, we need to add the number of quarters she had initially and the number of quarters she received on her birthday.

    Initial quarters = 38
    Birthday quarters = 37
    Total quarters = Initial quarters + Birthday quarters
    Total quarters = 38 + 37 = <<38+37=75>>75

    Therefore, with the updated initial amount of 38 quarters, Samantha now has a total of 75 quarters in her piggy bank.

    * Mike initially had $99.
    * He bought a toy lego set for $30.
    * After buying the lego set, he has $69 left.
    * The pack of marbles costs $1.

    Now, let's calculate how much money Mike will have left if he buys the marbles after purchasing the lego set:

    Money left after buying marbles = Money left after buying lego set - Cost of marbles
    Money left after buying marbles = $69 - $1
    Money left after buying marbles = $68

    So, if Mike buys the pack of marbles after purchasing the lego set, he will have $68 left from his original $99.

       * Quarters left = 37 - 22
       * Quarters left = 15

    3. Now, if Emily doubles the amount of quarters left:
       * Doubled quarters = Quarters left × 2
       * Doubled quarters = 15 × 2
       * Doubled quarters = 30

    Therefore, after buying the toy, Emily will have 15 quarters left in her piggy bank. If she doubles that amount, she will have 30 quarters.

       * Remaining money after purchase = Money in wallet - Cost of the book
       * Remaining money after purchase = $87 - $85
       * Remaining money after purchase = $2

    3. Add the gift money from his aunt to the remaining money:
       * Total money now = Remaining money after purchase + Gift money
       * Total money now = $2 + $14
       * Total money now = $16

    Therefore, after buying the book and receiving the gift from his aunt, Patrick now has $16.

Problem: Sam has $98. He decided to purchase a new video game that cost him $62. How much money does he have left now?

Gemma 2B:

    To find out how much money Sam has left, we need to subtract the cost of the video game from the amount of money he had initially.

    Given:
    - Sam has $98.
    - The video game costs $62.

    Step 1: Subtract the cost of the video game from Sam's initial amount.
    Money left = Initial amount - Cost of the video game
    Money left = $98 - $62 = $36

    Therefore, after purchasing the video game, Sam has $36 left.

    ### Answer: $36

    Given:
    - Sam has $36 left after buying the video game.
    - He wants to save the same amount next month.

    Step 1: Calculate the total amount Sam will save by adding his current savings to the amount he plans to save next month.

    Given:
    - Sam has $98.
    - The video game costs $41.

    Step 1: Subtract the cost of the video game from Sam's initial amount.
    Money left = Initial amount - Cost of the video game

Gemma 2B:

    Okay, let's update the information based on the new scenario:
    * Sophia has $45 saved from her allowance
    * On her 18th birthday, her parents give her an additional $18

    We will use the same method as before to find the total amount of money Sophia has:

    Total money = Money saved from allowance + Money given by parents
    Total money = $45 + $18
    Total money = $63

    In this case, Sophia would have a total of $63.

Problem: John had $82 in his wallet. He decided to spend $49 on a new video game. How much money does he have left after buying the video game?

Gemma 2B:

    To solve this problem, let's organize the given information and find the solution step by step:

    * John initially had $82 in his wallet.
    * He spent $49 on a new video game.
    * We need to find out how much money John has left after buying the video game.

    To find the remaining money, we need to subtract the amount he spent from the initial amount he had:

    Remaining money = Initial amount - Amount spent
    Remaining money = $82 - $49
    Remaining money = $33

    Therefore, after buying the video game, John has $33 left in his wallet.

    ### Answer: $33

Problem: John's sister, Lucy, also had some money. She had $64. After John bought his video game, how much more money did Lucy have compared to John?

Gemma 2B:

    Great! Let's solve this problem step by step. We know:

    * John has $33 left after buying the video game.
    * Lucy has $64.

    To find out how much more money Lucy has compared to John, we need to subtract John's remaining money from Lucy's money:

    Difference = Lucy's money - John's remaining money
    Difference = $64 - $33
    Difference = $31

    So, Lucy has $31 more than John after he bought the video game.

    ### Answer: $31

Gemma 2B:

    Let's organize the information we have:
    * Alex initially had $22
    * His father gave him an additional $33

    To find out how much money Alex has in total, we need to add the money he had initially and the money his father gave him.

Problem: Alex had $22 and his father gave him an additional $33. His mother then decides to give him some money as well. After receiving money from his mother, Alex has $84 in total. How much money did Alex's mother give him?

Gemma 2B:

    Let's organize the information we have:
    * Alex initially had $22
    * His father gave him an additional $33
    * After receiving money from his mother, Alex has a total of $84

    To find out how much money Alex's mother gave him, we need to:
    1. Calculate the total money Alex had before his mother gave him money
    2. Subtract that amount from the total money he has after receiving money from his mother

    Money before mother's contribution = Initial money + Money given by his father
    Money before mother's contribution = $22 + $33 = $55

    Now, let's calculate the money given by Alex's mother:
    Money given by mother = Total money after mother's contribution - Money before mother's contribution
    Money given by mother = $84 - $55 = $29

    Therefore, Alex's mother gave him $29.

    ### Answer: $29

    Okay, let's update the information based on the new scenario:
    * Alex initially had $22
    * His father gave him an additional $17

    To find out how much money Alex has in total now, we need to add the money he had initially and the money his father gave him in this new scenario.

    3. Add the pennies:
       * Pennies in pocket = 27
       * Pennies in jar = 72
       * Total pennies = Pennies in pocket + Pennies in jar
       * Total pennies = 27 + 72 = <<27+72=99>>99

Gemma 2B:

    Let's solve this problem step by step:

    1. Understand the given information:
       * George had 27 pennies in his pocket.
       * He found a jar at home with 72 pennies.
       * He added the pennies from the jar to the pennies in his pocket.
       * He spent 25 pennies at the candy store.

    2. Calculate the total number of pennies George had before going to the candy store:
       * Pennies in pocket = 27
       * Pennies in jar = 72
       * Total pennies before candy store = Pennies in pocket + Pennies in jar
       * Total pennies before candy store = 27 + 72 = <<27+72=99>>99

    3. Subtract the number of pennies George spent at the candy store from the total pennies he had:
       * Pennies spent at candy store = 25
       * Pennies left = Total pennies before candy store - Pennies spent at candy store
       * Pennies left = 99 - 25 = <<99-25=74>>74

    Therefore, after spending 25 pennies at the candy store, George has 74 pennies left.

       * Total candles sold = 58 + 27 = 85 candles

    2. Total money earned before parking fee = Total candles sold × Price per candle
       * Total money earned before parking fee = 85 × $1 = $85

    3. Total money earned after parking fee = Total money earned before parking fee - Parking fee

Problem: Mason has $48 saved in his piggy bank. He takes out $2 to buy a snack. After buying the snack, Mason's friend Mark gave him the same amount Mason had left in his piggy bank. How much money does Mason have now considering the money Mark gave him?

Gemma 2B:

    Let's solve this problem step by step:

    1. Understand the given information:
       * Mason has $48 saved in his piggy bank.
       * He takes out $2 to buy a snack.
       * After buying the snack, Mason's friend Mark gives him the same amount Mason had left in his piggy bank.

    2. Calculate how much money Mason has left after buying the snack:
       * Money left after snack = Total money - Money spent on snack
       * Money left after snack = $48 - $2
       * Money left after snack = $46

    3. Mark gives Mason the same amount he had left after buying the snack, which is $46. To find the total amount Mason has now, we need to add the money Mark gave him to the money he had left:
       * Total money now = Money left after snack + Money given by Mark
       * Total money now = $46 + $46
       * Total money now = $92

    Therefore, considering the money Mark gave him, Mason now has a total of $92.

    To solve this problem, let's organize the given information and find the solution step by step:

    * George bought a toy car for $58.
    * He also paid $4 for the gift wrap.

    To find the total amount George spent, we need to add the cost of the toy car and the gift wrap:

    * George decides to buy a video game that costs $81 instead of the toy car.
    * He still pays $4 for the gift wrap.

    To find the total amount George spent, we need to add the cost of the video game and the gift wrap:

    * Total spent = Cost of the video game + Cost of the gift wrap
    * Total spent = $81 + $4
    * Total spent = $85

    Therefore, with the change in his purchase, George now spent a total of $85 for the video game and the gift wrap.

Problem: Mom gave Lucas 96 pennies for his piggy bank. Later, she took away 76 pennies to give him a dollar bill instead. How many pennies does Lucas have now in his piggy bank?

Gemma 2B:

    Let's solve this problem step by step:

    1. Mom gave Lucas 96 pennies for his piggy bank.
    2. Later, she took away 76 pennies from the piggy bank.
    3. To find the number of pennies left in the piggy bank, we need to subtract the number of pennies taken away from the total number of pennies initially given.

    Pennies left = Initial number of pennies - Pennies taken away

    Given:
    - Lucas had 20 pennies in his piggy bank after his mom took away 76 pennies.
    - The next day, his grandma doubles the amount of pennies in his piggy bank.

    Step 1: Calculate the number of pennies Lucas's grandma adds to his piggy bank.
    Pennies added by grandma = Number of pennies in the piggy bank = 20

    Step 2: Calculate the total number of pennies in Lucas's piggy bank after his grandma adds her pennies.
    Total pennies = Pennies in the piggy bank + Pennies added by grandma
    Total pennies = 20 + 20 = <<20+20=40>>40

Problem: Instead of the 25 quarters found under his bed in the initial counting, imagine Rob had actually found 32 quarters under his bed. Given that he still found 6 quarters in his coat pocket, how many quarters would Rob have found in total then?

Gemma 2B:

    In this new scenario, Rob found 32 quarters under his bed instead of 25, and he still found 6 quarters in his coat pocket.

    Given:
    - Rob found 32 quarters under his bed.
    - Rob found 6 quarters in his coat pocket.

    To calculate the total number of quarters in this new scenario:
    Total quarters = Quarters under the bed + Quarters in the coat pocket

Problem: Stacy has $73 in her piggy bank. After cleaning the house, her father gives her an additional $5. How much money does Stacy have in total now?

Gemma 2B:

    Let's organize the information we have:
    * Stacy initially has $73 in her piggy bank.
    * Her father gives her an additional $5 for cleaning the house.

    To find the total amount of money Stacy has now, we need to add the money she had initially and the money her father gave her.

    Total money = Initial money + Money given by her father
    Total money = $73 + $5
    Total money = $78

    Therefore, Stacy now has a total of $78 in her piggy bank.

    * She decides to buy a toy horse for $47.

    To find out how much money Stacy will have left after buying the toy, we need to subtract the cost of the toy from the total money she has.

    Money left = Total money - Cost of the toy
    Money left = $78 - $47
    Money left = $31

    So, after buying the toy horse, Stacy will have $31 left in her piggy bank.

    ### Answer: $31

       * Mason has 52 quarters in his piggy bank.
       * Ethan has 47 quarters saved up.

    2. To find the total number of quarters they have, we need to add Mason's quarters and Ethan's quarters together.

    Given:
    - Mason and Ethan have a total of 99 quarters together.
    - They want to take out 2 quarters to buy a toy from the vending machine.

    Step 1: Subtract the number of quarters they will use to buy the toy from the total number of quarters they have.
    Remaining quarters = Total quarters - Quarters used to buy the toy
    Remaining quarters = 99 - 2
    Remaining quarters = <<99-2=97>>97

    Therefore, after taking out 2 quarters to buy a toy from the vending machine, Mason and Ethan will still have 97 quarters saved up.

       * Mason has 15 quarters in his piggy bank (instead of 52).
       * Ethan still has 47 quarters saved up.

    2. To find the total number of quarters they have, we need to add Mason's quarters and Ethan's quarters together.
       * Total quarters = Mason's quarters + Ethan's quarters
       * Total quarters = 15 + 47
       * Total quarters = <<15+47=62>>62

       * Quarters left after first day = 61 - 1
       * Quarters left after first day = <<61-1=60>>60

    3. Find the number of quarters left after the second day:
       * Quarters left after second day = Quarters left after first day - Quarters taken out on second day
       * Quarters left after second day = 60 - 1

    * Change = Amount given - Cost of the video game
    * Change = $72 - $41 = $31

    Step 2: Add the change to the amount his brother gave him
    * Amount from his brother = Change = $31
    * Total amount received = Change + Amount from his brother
    * Total amount received = $31 + $31 = $62

    * Money left after buying the controller = $58 - $51
    * Money left after buying the controller = $7

    Therefore, after purchasing both the video game and the controller, Leo will have $7 left from his saved allowance.

    ### Answer: $7

Expected answer: 7

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: Instead of spending 36 dollars on the video game, what if Leo actually only spent 4 dollars to buy a comic book he wanted. How much money would he have left out of his saved allowance then?

Gemma 2B:

    Okay, let's update the problem with the new information:
    * Leo saved a total of $94 from his allowance.
    * He decides to buy a comic book that costs $4 instead of the video game.

    To find out how much money Leo will have left after buying the comic book, we need to subtract the cost of the comic book from his total savings.

    Calculation:
    * Money left = Total savings - Cost of the comic book
    * Money left = $94 - $4
    * Money left = $90

    Therefore, after buying the comic book for $4, Leo will have $90 left from his allowance.

    1. Understand the given information:
       * Liam saved up 72 quarters.
       * He spent 44 quarters on a different game.

    2. To find out how many quarters Liam had left, we need to subtract the number of quarters he spent from the total number of quarters he saved:

Problem: Liam saved up 72 quarters to buy a new video game. He spent 44 quarters of his savings on a different game, reducing his total. However, Liam found a stash of quarters in his house that was the same amount as he had left after buying the first game. How many quarters does Liam have now in total?

Gemma 2B:

    Great! Let's solve this problem step by step. We'll use the information from the previous question to find out how many quarters Liam has now.

    Given:
    - Liam initially saved up 72 quarters.
    - He spent 44 quarters on a different game.
    - Liam found a stash of quarters equal to the amount he had left after buying the first game.

    Step 1: Calculate the number of quarters Liam had left after buying the first game.
    Quarters left after first game = Total quarters saved - Quarters spent
    Quarters left after first game = 72 - 44 = 28

    Step 2: Calculate the total number of quarters Liam has now.
    Total quarters now = Quarters left after first game + Quarters found in the stash
    Total quarters now = 28 + 28 = 56

    Therefore, Liam now has a total of 56 quarters.

    ### Answer: 56 quarters.

    * Sam initially had $31 in his wallet.
    * His aunt gave him $55 for his birthday, bringing his total to $86.
    * Sam then spends $55 on a video game.

    To find out how much money Sam has left, we need to subtract the amount he spent on the video game from his total money.

    Money left = Total money - Money spent on the video game
    Money left = $86 - $55
    Money left = $31

    So, after spending $55 on the video game, Sam has $31 left.

    To solve this problem, let's organize the given information:
    * Billy has 32 quarters
    * Ben has 56 quarters

    Now, to find the total number of quarters they have together, we need to add the number of quarters each brother has:

    Billy's quarters + Ben's quarters = Total quarters
    32 + 56 = <<32+56=88>>88

    Therefore, when Billy and Ben combine their quarters, they have a total of 88 quarters.

    ### Answer: 88

    * Billy and Ben have combined their quarters, which total 88 quarters.
    * Their goal is to collect 98 quarters.

    To find out how many more quarters they need, we should subtract the number of quarters they currently have from their goal:

    Quarters needed = Goal - Current number of quarters
    Quarters needed = 98 - 88 = <<98-88=10>>10

    So, Billy and Ben need 10 more quarters to meet their goal of 98 quarters for their coin collection.

    * Billy's parents gave him an additional 36 quarters

    To find the total number of quarters Billy has now, we need to add the number of quarters he had initially and the number of quarters his parents gave him:

    Initial quarters + Additional quarters from parents = Total quarters now
    32 + 36 = <<32+36=68>>68

    So, after receiving the additional quarters from his parents, Billy now has a total of 68 quarters.

    Let's organize the information we have:
    * Mike has 28 pennies in his piggy bank.
    * He finds 45 more pennies under his bed.

    To find the total number of pennies Mike has, we need to add the pennies in his piggy bank and the pennies he found under his bed.

    Total pennies = Pennies in piggy bank + Pennies found under the bed
    Total pennies = 28 + 45 = <<28+45=73>>73

Problem: Mike just found out that he needs to have exactly 98 pennies to purchase a comic book he has been eyeing. After counting all his pennies (the 28 in his piggy bank and the 45 he found under his bed), how many more pennies does he need to be able to purchase the comic book?

Gemma 2B:

    Okay, let's review the information we have:
    * Mike needs 98 pennies to purchase the comic book.
    * He has 28 pennies in his piggy bank.
    * He found 45 pennies under his bed.

    First, let's calculate the total number of pennies Mike currently has:
    * Total pennies Mike has = Pennies in piggy bank + Pennies found under the bed
    * Total pennies Mike has = 28 + 45 = <<28+45=73>>73

    Now, to find out how many more pennies Mike needs, we subtract the total pennies he has from the number of pennies needed to purchase the comic book:
    * Additional pennies needed = Pennies needed for comic book - Total pennies Mike has
    * Additional pennies needed = 98 - 73 = <<98-73=25>>25

    So, Mike needs 25 more pennies to be able to purchase the comic book.

    ### Answer: 25

Gemma 2B:

    Great! Let's solve this problem step by step. We'll first find out how many quarters Jessica has left after using some for the snack machine, and then we'll add that number to Hannah's quarters.

    Given:
    - Jessica has 69 quarters initially.
    - Jessica uses 18 quarters for the snack machine.
    - Hannah has 41 quarters in her piggy bank.

    Step 1: Calculate the number of quarters Jessica has remaining after using 18 for the snack machine.
    Jessica's remaining quarters = Initial quarters - Used quarters
    Jessica's remaining quarters = 69 - 18 = 51

    Step 2: Add Jessica's remaining quarters to Hannah's quarters to find the total number of quarters they have combined.
    Combined quarters = Jessica's remaining quarters + Hannah's quarters
