Answer this question:James turned 23 the same time John turned 35. Tim is 5 years less than twice John's age. If Tim is 79 how old is James?
James is 35 - 23 = 12 years younger than John. 5 years less than Tim's age is 79 - 5 = 74 years old. So John is 74 / 2 = 37 years old. That means James is 37 - 12 = 25 years old.
The answer is 25.

Answer this question:The minimum age required to be employed at a company is 25 years. Dara aspires to work for the company and will be half the age of Jane in six years. If Jane is currently working for the company and is 28 years old, how long is it before Dara reaches the minimum age required by the company to be employed?
In six years, Jane will be 28 + 6 = 34 years old. Dara will be half the age of Jane in six years, meaning she will be 34 / 2 = 17 years old in six years. Currently, Dara is 17 - 6 = 11 years old. Dara has to wait for 25 - 11 = 14 more years to reach the company's minimum age of employment.
The answer is 14.

Answer this question:Brian loves watching animal videos online. He watches a 4-minute video of cats. He then watches a video twice as long as the cat video involving dogs. He finishes up his video watching for the day by watching a video on gorillas that's twice as long as the previous two videos combined. How many minutes does Brian spend watching animal videos?
Brian begins by watching a 4 - minute video, and since the second video is twice as long that means the second video is 4 * 2 = 8 minutes. The first two videos combined therefore for a 4 + 8 = 12 minute run time. Since the third video is twice as long as the first two videos put together, that means it is 12 * 2 = 24 minutes in length. The total length of time spent is therefore 24 + 12 = 36 minutes.
The answer is 36.

Answer this question:Saturday at the ice cream shop, there were twice as many people who ordered vanilla ice cream as ordered chocolate ice cream. If 220 people ordered ice cream on Saturday, and 20% of those ordered vanilla ice cream, how many people ordered chocolate ice cream?
If 20% of 220 customers ordered vanilla, then there were 0.2 * 220 = 44 customers who ordered vanilla. If there were twice as many people who ordered vanilla as chocolate, then 44 / 2 = 22 customers ordered chocolate.
The answer is 22.
