Question: Steve owns a lake shop that sells fish. He has a stock of 200 fish. He sells 50 fish and because his refrigerators stop working a third of the remaining fish become spoiled. A new stock of 200 more fish arrives. How many fish does he have in stock now? Think carefully first, then make a decision:

If he had 200 fish and sells 50, he is left with 200 - 50 = 150 fish. If a third of them get spoiled 1 / 3 * 150 = 50 fish get spoiled. The remaining number of fish is now 150 - 50 = 100. He then gets 200 more to make 100 + 200 = 300 fish. So the answer is 300.
