Kyle can lift 60 more pounds this year, which is 3 times as much as he could lift last year. How many pounds can Kyle lift in all? Let's think first. Chain of thought:
Since Kyle can lift 60 more pounds and that is 3 times what he could do before, that means that last year Kyle could lift 60 pounds / 3 = 20 pounds. Kyle can now lift 60 pounds + 20 pounds he could lift last year = 80 pounds.
Therefore, the answer is 80.
