Q: Kaylin is five years younger than Sarah, who is twice as old as Eli, who is nine years older than Freyja. If Freyja is ten years old, how old is Kaylin?
A: Since Freyja is ten years old, Eli is 10 + 9 = 19 years old. Sarah's age is twice Eli's, then Sarah is 2 * 19 = 38 years old. Kaylin is five years younger than Sarah, then she is 38 - 5 = 33 years old. The answer is 33.
Question: On Friday, Remy paid Sally's Woodworking LLC a total of $20,700 for 150 pieces of furniture. Later that evening, the company's accountant discovered that a new intern in the sales department had overcharged Remy. If the cost of a piece of furniture is $134, how much money will Sally's Woodworking LLC reimburse Remy?
Answer: The total cost of all the pieces of furniture should be 134 * 150 = 20100 dollars. Sally's Woodworking LLC will reimburse Remy the difference between the total cost and the amount he paid, which is 20700 - 20100 = 600 dollars. The answer is 600.
[Question]Marge planted 23 seeds in her garden. Five of the seeds never grew into plants. A third of the remaining seeds grew, but the plants were eaten by squirrels and rabbits. A third of the number of uneaten plants were strangled by weeds. Marge pulled two weeds, but liked the flowers on one weed and let the plant grow as part of her garden. How many plants did Marge end up with?
[Answer]Marge had 23 - 5 = 18 seeds grow into plants. Rabbits ate 18 / 3 = 6 plants. There were 18 - 6 = 12 plants left. Weeds strangled 12 / 3 = 4 plants. She had 12 - 4 = 8 plants left. Marge kept 1 weed, so she ended up with 8 + 1 = 9 plants. The answer is 9.

Question: Pete has to take a 10-minute walk down to the train station and then board a 1hr 20-minute train to LA. When should he leave if he cannot get to LA later than 0900 hours? (24-hr time)
Answer:
There are 60 minutes in an hour so 1 hour 20 minutes = (60 + 20) minutes = 80 minutes. He will spend a total of 80 + 10 = 90 minutes. 90 minutes is = (60 / 60) hours and 30 minutes = 1 hour 30 minutes = 0130 in 24 - hr time. He has to leave 0130 hours earlier than 0900 i.e. 0900 - 0130 = 0730 hours. The answer is 730.
