### Instruction: Bill picked 50 apples from the orchard with his wife and two children.  He sends each of his kids to school with 3 apples for their two favorite teachers.  His wife Jill bakes two apple pies, using 10 apples per pie. How many apples does Bill have left?### Response: Bill gives each of his children 3 apples, so since he has two children this is 3*2=6 apples.
Jill bakes 2 apple pies, using 10 apples each so she uses 2*10=20 apples.
In all, this is 20+6=26 apples that won't get used for anything else.
Since Bill started with 50 apples, this means he has 50-26=24 apples remaining.
The answer is 24
