We have a question: If I give my brother 2 marbles I will have double his number of marbles, but my friend will have triple the number I do. The total number of marbles we have together is 63. How many marbles do I have?
And an answer: 16
So how you got the answer?
Let X be the number of marbles I have. If I give my brother 2 marbles, I'll have X - 2 marbles left. And my brother will have (X - 2) / 2 marbles. And my friend will have (X - 2) * 3 left. So the total number of marbles is X - 2 + (X - 2) / 2 + (X - 2) * 3 = 63. (X - 2) * 9 / 2 = 63. X - 2 = 14. X = 16 marbles.

We have a question: Ben has four boxes with ten basketball cards in each box. His mother gave him five boxes with eight baseball cards. If he gives 58 cards to his classmates, how many cards does he has left?
And an answer: 22
So how you got the answer?
Ben has 4 x 10 = 40 basketball cards. His mother gave him 5 x 8 = 40 baseball cards. Thus, Ben has 40 + 40 = 80 cards in all. Therefore, Ben has 80 - 58 = 22 cards left.

We have a question: Carson is going to spend 4 hours at a carnival. The wait for the roller coaster is 30 minutes, the wait for the tilt-a-whirl is 60 minutes, and the wait for the giant slide is 15 minutes. If Carson rides the roller coaster 4 times and the tilt-a-whirl once, how many times can he ride the giant slide? (Wait times include the time actually spent on the ride.)
And an answer: 4
So how you got the answer?
First figure out how many minutes Carson spends at the carnival by multiplying the number of hours he's there by the number of minutes per hour: 4 hours * 60 minutes / hour = 240 minutes. Then figure out how long Carson spends waiting for the roller coaster by multiplying the wait time per ride by the number of rides: 4 rides * 30 minutes / ride = 120 minutes. Now subtract the time Carson spends on the roller coaster and tilt - a - whirl from the total time he spends at the park to find out how much time he has left: 240 minutes - 120 minutes - 60 minutes = 60 minutes. Now divide the time Carson has left by the wait time for the giant slide to see how many times he can ride it: 60 minutes / 15 minutes / ride = 4 rides.
