How many grams of fat does Robbie get in the morning? ** Robbie gets 3 x 10 = <<3*10=30>>30 grams of fat every morning. How many grams of fat does Robbie get in the afternoon? ** He gets 10 x 2 = <<10*2=20>>20 grams of fat every afternoon. How many grams of fat does Robbie get in the evening? ** And he gets 5 x 10 = <<5*10=50>>50 grams of fat every evening. How many grams of fat does Robbie get in a week? ** So, the total grams of fat he gets every day is 50 + 30 + 20 = <<50+30+20=100>>100. How many grams of fat does Robbie get in a week? ** Therefore, the total grams of fat he gets every week is 100 x 7 = <<100*7=700>>700. #### 700 Evie is collecting seashells while at the beach. Each day she collects her favorite 10 shells. At the end of 6 days, she gives 2 shells to her brother. How many shells does she have left?
