Q: There are four times as many boys at Lulu's party as girls. Each boy paid twice the money that each girl paid to attend the party. If there are 40 boys at the party and each boy paid $50 to attend the party, calculate the total amount of money collected at the party.
A: The total amount of money collected from the boy's payment is 40 * $50 = $2000. There are four times as many boys at Lulu's party as girls, meaning there are 40 / 4 = 10 girls at the party. since each boy paid twice the money that each girl paid to attend the party, each girl paid $50 / 2 = $25. The total amount of money collected from the girl's payment is $25 * 10 = $250. The total amount of money collected at the party is $250 + $2000 = $2250. The answer is 2250.

[Question]William's class set a goal each week of the number of cans of food that is to be collected. On the first day, 20 cans were collected. Then the number of cans increased by 5 each day. If they collected 5 days a week to reach their goal, how many cans of food was their goal per week?
[Answer]On the second day, they collected 20 + 5 = 25 cans. On the third day, they collected 25 + 5 = 30 cans. On the fourth day, they collected 30 + 5 = 35 cans. On the fifth day, they collected 35 + 5 = 40 cans. Thus, the goal of William's class is to collect a total of 20 + 25 + 30 + 35 + 40 = 150 cans of food per week. The answer is 150.

Question: There were 90 jellybeans in a jar. Samantha snuck 24 jellybeans out of the jar, without being seen. Shelby ate 12 jellybeans from the jar. Their mom, Shannon, refilled the jar with half as much as Samantha and Shelby took out. How many jellybeans are in the jar now?
Answer: There were 90 - 24 = 66 jellybeans in the jar after Samantha snuck some. There were 66 - 12 = 54 jellybean in the jar after Shelby ate some. Samantha and Shelby took 24 + 12 = 36 jellybeans from the jar. Shelby refilled the jar with 36 / 2 = 18 jellybeans. There are 54 + 18 = 72 jellybeans in the jar. The answer is 72.
Q: Viggo's age was 10 years more than twice his younger brother's age when his brother was 2. If his younger brother is currently 10 years old, what's the sum of theirs ages?
A:
Twice Viggo's younger brother's age when his brother was 2 is 2 * 2 = 4 years. If Viggo's age was 10 more than twice his younger brother's age when his brother was 2, Viggo was 10 + 4 = 14 years old. Viggo is 14 years - 2 years = 12 years older than his brother. Since Viggo's brother is currently 10 and Vigo is 12 years older, he's currently 10 + 12 = 22 years old. Their combined age is 22 years + 10 years = 32 years. The answer is 32.
