Answer this question:Bobby can deadlift 300 pounds at 13. When he is 18 he can deadlift 100 pounds more than 250% of his previous deadlift. How many pounds did he add per year?
His new deadlift is 300 * 2.5 + 100 = 850 pounds. So he added 850 - 300 = 550 pounds to his deadlift. This took 18 - 13 = 5 years. So he added 550 / 5 = 110 pounds per year.
The answer is 110.

Answer this question:While chatting in the school cafeteria, Cesar's friend Demi tells him that a new fantasy series was on Netflix and he should watch it. The new series has 12 seasons, and each season has 20 episodes. If Cesar watched 1/3 of the series before the school closed, how many episodes were remaining for him to finish the series?
The total number of episodes in the series is 20 episodes per season * 12 seasons = 240 episodes. He watches 1 / 3 of the series, 1 / 3 * 240 = 80 episodes. A total of 240 - 80 = 160 episodes were remaining for Cesar to finish the series.
