Different meanings of salir

I always appreciate the richness of meanings in the examples. Could you please tell me if my list is correct?

(1) Salir con alguien - go out with someone

(2) Salir con (an item of clothing) - to go out wearing something

(3) salir de un lugar - to leave a place

(4) salir a un lugar - to go out to a place

(5) something you did + salir - something turned out a certain way

(6) salir bien vestidos - to go out well dressed.

Thanks.

I assume then if I wanted to use the expression 'vale la pena' in the conditional, it would read 'valdría la pena'? (It would be worth it)?

Me explicó su porqué pero no le creí. She explained her reason but I didn't believe her.Indirect object pronoun:Generally you ask the verb "what/who?" and that gives you the direct object and you ask the verb "for whom, to whom?

I’m confused, is there another way to determine when to use a direct or indirect pronoun? Eg, how do you apply “for whom, to whom” in this sentence:

Me explicó su porqué pero no le creí. She explained her reason but I didn't believe her.
Muchas gracias,Shirley.

Hello - my question isn't about numbers as pronouns but about the following example listed in the details...

¿Cuántos euros te quedan en la cartera? -Me quedan ochenta.
How many euros do you have left in your purse? -I have eighty left.

The above is using preterite translated to present perfect. This is a subject I have some trouble understanding. Wondering if quedar is one of those examples of language that doesn't translate exactly and have to accept it as an expression used and not over think it?
