[Answer]The younger son received three times as many toys as the elder son, which is 3 * 60 = 180 toys. Since he bought the toys together, he purchased 180 + 60 = 240 toys. The answer is 240.
Q: There are 9 bicycles and 16 cars in the garage. How many wheels are there in the garage?
A: There are 9 bicycles x 2 wheels / bicycle = 18 bicycle wheels. There are 16 cars x 4 wheels / car = 64 car wheels. In total there are 18 bicycle wheels + 64 car wheels = 82 wheels in the garage. The answer is 82.
Question: Joyce, Michael, Nikki, and Ryn have a favorite movie. Joyce's favorite movie is 2 hours longer than Michael's movie. Nikki's movie is three times as long as Michael's movie, and Ryn's favorite movie is 4/5 times as long as Nikki's favorite movie. If Nikki's favorite movie is 30 hours long, calculate the total number of hours of their favorite movies together.
Answer: Since Nikki's favorite movie is 30 hours long, Ryn's favorite movie is 4 / 5 * 30 = 24 hours long. The total number of hours for Nikki's and Ryn's favorite movies is 24 + 30 = 54 hours long. Nikki's movie is also three times as long as Michael's favorite movie, meaning Michael's favorite movie is 30 / 3 = 10 hours long. Together, Nikki, Ryn, and Michael's favorite movies are 54 + 10 = 64 hours long. If Joyce's favorite movie is 2 hours longer than Michael's favorite movie, then her favorite movie is 10 + 2 = 12 hours long. The length of Nikki, Ryn, Michael, and Joyce's favorite movies is 64 + 12 = 76 hours. The answer is 76.
[Question]Heaven and her younger brother want to buy school supplies, so they ask their father for money, who gives them $100 in total to use. Heaven buys two sharpeners and four notebooks at $5 each, and her brother uses the remaining amount to buy ten erasers at $4 each and some highlighters. How much money did Heaven's brother spend on highlighters?
[Answer]Heaven spent 2 * 5 = $10 on sharpeners. She also spent 4 * 5 = $20 on notebooks. Heaven's brother used 10 * 4 = $40 to buy erasers. The total amount of money Heaven and her sister spent on sharpeners, notebooks, and erasers is 40 + 20 + 10 = $70. The total amount of money her brother spent on highlighters is 100 - 70 = $30. The answer is 30.

A: They need to rotate 1,600 times because 8 x 200 = 1,600. They need to rotate 1,000 more times because 1,600 - 600 = 1,000. The answer is 1000.
