Question: The spacecraft Gibraltar is a mountain-sized intergalactic vehicle for transporting equipment, building materials, and families to establish colonies on far-away planets. At full capacity, the vehicle can carry 300 family units with four people per family. The space flight is expected to take years, and it is expected that the size of families will grow during the space voyage. Therefore, when the spacecraft leaves the earth, it will carry 100 people less than one-third of the ship's capacity. How many people will be on the ship to start the journey?
Answer: The full capacity of the ship is 300 * 4 = 1200 people. One - third of capacity is 1200 / 3 = 400 people. 100 less than one - third capacity is 400 - 100 = 300 people. The answer is 300.

Question: Linda's bag has 2 dimes, 6 quarters, and 5 nickels. Her mother gives her 2 more dimes, 10 quarters, and twice as many nickels as she has. How many coins does she have altogether?
Answer: When Linda's mother gave her 2 more dimes, the total number of dimes increased to 2 + 2 = 4 dimes. She also increased the total number of quarters to 6 + 10 = 16 after her mother gave her 10 more. The total number of dimes and quarters she has is 16 + 4 = 20. Linda's mother also gave her twice as many nickels as she has, a total of 2 * 5 = 10 nickels. The total number of nickels she has increased to 10 + 5 = 15. Altogether, Linda has 20 + 15 = 35 coins. The answer is 35.
