Q: Charley bought 30 pencils. She lost 6 pencils while moving to school, and of course, also lost 1/3 of the remaining pencils because she wasn't very good at keeping track of pencils. How many pencils does she currently have?
A: If Charley bought 30 pencils and lost 6 while moving, she remained with 30 - 6 = 24 pencils. Because she isn't good at keeping track of her pencils, Charley lost 1 / 3 * 24 = 8 more pencils. She currently has 24 - 8 = 16 pencils. The answer is 16.
Question: The Great Pyramid of Giza was the tallest man-made structure on earth for almost 4000 years. It is 20 feet taller than 500 feet, and 234 feet wider than it is tall. What is the sum of the height and width of the Great Pyramid of Giza in feet?
Answer: The height is 20 feet taller than 500 feet, or 500 + 20 = 520 feet. The structure is 234 feet wider than it is tall, or a width of 520 + 234 = 754 feet wide. Therefore, the sum of the height and width of the Great Pyramid of Giza is 520 + 754 = 1274 feet. The answer is 1274.

Question: Mr. Langsley commutes to work every day by bus. The bus picks him up at 6:00 a.m. and takes forty minutes to arrive at the first station. If Mr. Langsley arrives at work at 9:00 a.m., what's the total time taken in minutes from the first station to Mr. Langsley's workplace?
Answer:
The total time taken for the whole journey is 9:00 - 6:00 = 3 hours. The total time taken in minutes is 3 * 60 = 180 minutes. If it takes 40 minutes to reach the first station, then the rest of the journey takes 180 - 40 = 140 minutes. The answer is 140.
