Question: Ricciana and Margarita joined in their school's long jump event. Ricciana ran and jumped a total of 24 feet - 20 feet for running and 4 feet for jumping. Margarita ran for 18 feet and jumped 1 foot less than twice Ricciana's jump. How much farther did Margarita run and jump than Ricciana?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Twice the distance of Ricciana's jump is 4 x 2 = 8 feet. So, Margarita jumped 8 - 1 = 7 feet. Margarita ran and jumped for 18 + 7 = 25 feet in all. So, Margarita ran and jumped 25 - 24 = 1 foott more than Ricciana.
So the answer is 1.

Question: The Chrysler Building has 11 more floors than the Leeward Center. Together they have a total of 35 floors. How many floors does the Chrysler Building have?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Let L = Leeward Center. Chrysler = L + 11. L + L + 11 = 35. 2L + 11 = 35. 2L = 24. Leeward = 12 floors. Chrysler = 12 + 11 = 23 floors. The Chrysler Building has 23 floors.
So the answer is 23.

Question: John has a raw squat of 600 pounds without sleeves or wraps. Sleeves add 30 pounds to his lift. Wraps add 25% to his squat. How much more pounds does he get out of wraps versus sleeves.
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
Wraps add 600 * .25 = 150 pounds to his lift. So they add 150 - 30 = 120 pounds more than sleeves.
So the answer is 120.
