[Question]John weighs one-quarter times more than what Mary weighs. Mary weighs 20 lbs less than Jamison's weight. If Mary weighs 160 lbs, what's the combined weight of the three?
[Answer]If Mary weighs 160 lbs, Jamison weighs 160 lbs + 20 lbs = 180 lbs. If John weighs one - quarter less than what Mary weighs, he weighs 1 / 4 * 160 lbs = 40 lbs more. The total weight of John is 160 lbs + 40 lbs = 200 lbs. The total weight for the three is 200 lbs + 180 lbs + 160 lbs = 540 lbs. The answer is 540.
