Lizzy: Mickey's number is greater than Jayden's number by exactly 20. If Jayden's number is 40 less than Coraline's number, and Coraline's number is 80, calculate the total of the numbers they have..
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
If Coraline has the number 80, Jayden, whose number is 40 less than that of Coraline, has 80 - 40 = 40. Together, Jayden and Coraline's numbers total 80 + 40 = 120. Mickey's number is greater than Jayden's number by exactly 20, meaning his number is 40 + 20 = 60. The total of the numbers the three have is 120 + 60 = 180. Final answer: 180.
