Answer to Q185:
If I had four eggs and a thief gave me three and my rooster laid five more. How many eggs do I have?
If I had four eggs: 4 eggs
and a thief gave me three: 3 eggs (the word thief here was just introduced to cause confusion, it has nothing to do with the word problem).
and my rooster laid five more: That is impossible as roosters don't lay eggs so, 0 eggs
How many eggs do I have?: 4 + 3 + 0 = 7
Answer: 7
