Q: Hooper Bay has twice as many pounds of lobster than the two other harbors combined. If the other two harbors have 80 pounds of lobster each, how many pounds of lobster are the three harbors holding?
A: Since the other two harbors have 80 pounds of lobsters each, they have a total of 80 + 80 = 160 pounds of lobster. Since Hooper Bay has two times more lobsters than the other two harbors combined, it has 2 * 160 = 320 pounds of lobster. In total, the three harbors have 320 + 160 = 480 pounds of lobster. The answer is 480.
Question: In a basketball game, Jon scored 3 points. Jack scored 5 points more than Jon, and Tom scored 4 less than the points of Jon and Jack together. How many points did they score altogether?
Answer: Jack scored 3 + 5 = 8 points. Together, Jon and Jack scored 8 + 3 = 11 points. So, Tom scored 11 - 4 = 7 points. Thus, Jon, Jack, and Tom scored a total of 3 + 8 + 7 = 18 points. The answer is 18.
[Question]Matt rode his bike away from the house, he rode a total of 1000 feet. Along the way, he passed a stop sign that was 350 feet away from his house. He continued his ride and passed a second sign. After passing the second sign he road an additional 275 feet. How many feet are between the first and second signs?
[Answer]Matthew rode 350 feet to the first sign, so there are 1000 - 350 = 650 feet between the first sign and the end. After passing the second sign Matthew road 275, so 650 - 275 = 375 feet remain. The answer is 375.

Question: A few friends are making a small movie. They hire a few actors and that cost $1200. They also get food for the 50 people there. Each person gets $3 worth of food. Equipment rental costs twice as much as food and actors combined. They sold the movie for $10,000. How much profit did they make?
Answer: The food cost 3 * 50 = $150. So the total cost without equipment rental was 1200 + 150 = $1350. So equipment rental cost 1350 * 2 = $2700. So the total cost was 2700 + 1350 = $4050. That means they made 10000 - 4050 = $5950. The answer is 5950.
Q: Elsie has a specific amount of wet wipes in a container in the morning. Throughout the day, she refills the container with 10 more wipes after using up 20. By nighttime, she only has 60 wipes left. How many wipes were in the container in the morning?
A:
Let w be the number of wet wipes Elsie had in the morning. Throughout the day, she used w - 20 wet wipes. Once that happened, she had to refill the container resulting in w - 20 + 10 = w - 10 wet wipes. By nighttime, she had w - 10 = 60 wipes. So then, w = 60 + 10 = 70. She started with w = 70 wipes. The answer is 70.
