Question: Gary counted the number of whiskers on the faces of his two cats. Princess Puff has 14 whiskers, while Catman Do has 6 less than twice the number of whiskers as Princess puff. How many whiskers does Catman Do have?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Twice the number of whiskers as Catman Do is 14 * 2 = 28 whiskers. Catman Do has 6 less than twice the number of whiskers as Princess puff, for a total of 28 - 6 = 22 whiskers.
So the answer is 22.


Question: Grace's age is 3/8th the age of her grandmother. Her grandmother is twice the age of Grace's mother. If Grace's mother is 80 years old, how old is Grace?

Question: Maya wants to learn how to lift and right now she can only lift a fourth of what America can. America can lift 240 pounds. As Maya grows stronger, she can add 10 more pounds to what she previously could lift. America follows this and now she has hit her peak lift at 300 pounds. If Maya reaches her absolute peak and can lift half of what America can lift, how many more pounds can Maya lift now than when she started?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
Maya can lift 240 * 0.25 = 60 pounds. Gaining progress, she can lift up to 60 + 10 = 70 pounds. At her peak, she can lift 300 * 0.5 = 150 pounds. Maya's peak is 150 pounds - 60 pounds when she started = 90 more pounds than when she started.
So the answer is 90.
