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.

Question: Jake and Penny are hunting snakes. Jake's snake is 12 inches longer than Jenny's snake. If the two snakes have a combined length of 70 inches, how long is Jake's snake?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Let j be the length of Jake's snake and p be length of Penny's snake. We know that j + p = 70, and j = p + 12. We can substitute the second equation into the first equation to get p + 12 + p = 70. Combining like terms, we get 2p + 12 = 70. Subtracting 12 from both sides, we get 2p = 58. Dividing both sides by 2, we get p = 58 / 2 = 29 inches. Penny's snake is 29 inches. Substituting that length in to the equation j = p + 12, we get j = 29 inches + 12 inches = 41 inches.
So the answer is 41.

Question: Jane is painting her fingernails. She applies a base coat that takes 2 minutes to dry, two color coats that take 3 minutes each to dry, and a clear top coat that takes 5 minutes to dry. How many minutes total does Jane spend waiting for her nail polish to dry?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
First figure out how long both color coats will take to dry: 3 minutes * 2 = 6 minutes. Then add up the time for the base coat, top coat, and color coats: 6 minutes + 2 minutes + 5 minutes = 13 minutes.
So the answer is 13.
