[Question]Kenia has three times as many rats as Hunter and Elodie has together. If Elodie has 30 rats, 10 rats more than Hunter, calculate the total number of pets the three have together?
[Answer]Since Elodie has 30 rats, Hunter has 30 rats - 10 rats = 20 rats. Together, Elodie and Hunter have 20 rats + 30 rats = 50 rats. Kenia has three times as many rats as Hunter and Elodie have together, which is 3 * 50 rats = 150 rats. Together, the three have 150 rats + 50 rats = 200 rats. The answer is 200.
Q: Sabina is starting her first year of college that costs $30,000. She has saved $10,000 for her first year. She was awarded a grant that will cover 40% of the remainder of her tuition. How much will Sabina need to apply for to receive a loan that will cover her tuition?
A: The remainder of Sabina’s tuition bill comes to $30,000 - $10,000 = $20,000. The grant will cover $20,000 * 0.40 = $8,000 of her tuition. That means that Sabina will need to apply for a loan of $20,000 - $8,000 = $12,000 to pay for the rest of her tuition. The answer is 12000.
Question: Lucille made an agreement with her mom that she would earn six cents for every weed she pulled in her mom's garden. There are eleven weeds in the flower bed, fourteen in the vegetable patch, and thirty-two in the grass around the fruit trees. Lucille weeded the flower bed, the vegetable patch, and half the grass before she took a break. She bought a soda for 99 cents on her break with some of her earnings. How many cents does Lucille have left?
Answer: Lucille weeded half the grass, so she pulled 32 / 2 = 16 weeds around the fruit frees. She pulled 11 + 14 + 16 = 41 weeds before her break. From that, she earned 41 * 6 = 246 cents. After buying her soda, Lucille has 246 - 99 = 147 cents left. The answer is 147.
[Question]Marcy had 22 sodas in her fridge for a party. Her friend Tina came over and gave her 12 plus two times the number of sodas Marcy had before. How many sodas will Marcy have for the party?

Q: Aaron, Henry's brother, is 15 years old. Henry's sister is three times as old as Aaron. Henry is four times as old as his sister. What's the combined age of the siblings?
A: If Aaron is 15 years old, and his sister is 3 times as old as him, then the sister is 3 * 15 = 45 years old. Together, Aaron and his sister have a total age of 45 + 15 = 60 years. Henry is four times as old as the sister, meaning he is 45 * 4 = 180 years old. The three siblings together have a total age of 60 + 180 = 240 years. The answer is 240.
