Q: Anna has 3 times as many toys as Mandy and 2 fewer toys than Amanda. If they have 142 toys all together, how many toys does Mandy have?
A: Let x be the number of toys Mandy has. Anna has 3 * x toys. Amanda has 3 * x + 2 toys. x + 3 * x + 3 * x + 2 = 142. 7 * x + 2 = 142. 7 * x = 140. x = 20. The answer is 20.
Question: Wilson decides to go sledding on some nearby hills. On the 2 tall hills, he sleds down them 4 times each and on the 3 small hills, he sled down them half as often as he sleds down the tall hills. How many times did he sled down the hills?
Answer: On the tall hills, he sleds down 2 tall hills * 4 times per tall hill = 8 times. He sleds down the small hills half as often so he sleds down each hill 4 times per tall hill / 2 = 2 times per small hill. On the small hills, he sleds down 3 small hills * 2 times per small hill = 6 times. So in total, Wilson sled down the hills 8 times on tall hills + 6 times on small hills = 14 times. The answer is 14.
[Question]James spends 10 minutes downloading a game, half as long installing it, and triple that combined amount of time going through the tutorial. How long does it take before he can play the main game?
[Answer]First divide the download time in half to find the install time: 10 minutes / 2 = 5 minutes. Then add that amount of time to the download time: 5 minutes + 10 minutes = 15 minutes. Then triple that amount of time to find the tutorial time: 15 minutes * 3 = 45 minutes. Then add that time to the install and downtime time to find the total time: 45 minutes + 15 minutes = 60 minutes. The answer is 60.

Question: Juanita goes through 1 bottle of sunscreen a month. She likes to stock up for the entire year when a certain website offers 30% off her entire purchase. If each bottle is $30.00 how much will all of the sunscreen cost after the discount?
Answer: She goes through 1 bottle a month and she likes to stock up for the entire year, which is 12 months so she needs 1 * 12 = 12 bottles. Each bottle is $30.00 and she needs 12 bottles so they will cost 30 * 12 = $360.00. The website offers a 30% discount off of her $360.00 purchase so the discount will be .30 * 360 = $108.00. Her sunscreen costs $360.00 and her discount is 108.00 making her purchase total 360 - 108 = $252.00. The answer is 252.
