Kara has a thousand marbles. Kara's brother and his 9 friends steal 5 marbles each. Kara's brother gets caught and gives his marbles back. How many marbles does Kara have now?

Is it 1,060?

No. Please try again. Remember the problem doesn't say that the brother's nine friends gave back the marbles they stole.

1000marbles = 10 people taking 5 each= 950 but since he gives back 5 the answer is 955

So it is 955. I am sure. I see what I did wrong.

To solve this problem, we need to subtract the number of stolen marbles from the initial number of marbles Kara had, and then add the number of marbles her brother gave back.

Kara had 1000 marbles.
Her brother and his 9 friends stole 5 marbles each, so they collectively took 10 x 5 = 50 marbles.
After the theft, Kara had 1000 - 50 = 950 marbles left.
However, her brother returned his share of the stolen marbles, which was 5 marbles.
So, Kara's final total of marbles would be 950 + 5 = 955 marbles.

Therefore, the correct answer is 955 marbles, not 1060.
