Q: Jerry, Gabriel, and Jaxon ask their parents to buy them toys to play with. Jerry is bought 8 more toys than Gabriel, but Gabriel has twice as many toys as Jaxon. If Jaxon got 15 toys, what's the total number of toys they all have?
A: Jaxon has 15 toys. Gabriel has twice Jaxon's, Gabriel got 2 * 15 = 30 toys. Jerry got 8 more toys than Gabriel, which is 30 + 8 = 38 toys. Jaxon's toys plus Gabriel's toys plus Jerry's toys is 15 + 30 + 38 = 83 toys. The answer is 83.
Question: A plane flies between 4 cities; A, B, C and D. Passengers board and alight at each airport in every city when it departs and lands, respectively. The distance between city A and city B is 100 miles. The distance between city B and city C is 50 miles more than the distance between city A and city B. The distance between city C and city D is twice the distance between city B and city C. Calculate the total distance between city A and city D.
Answer: Since the distance between city A and B is 100 miles, and city B and C are 50 more miles apart than city A and B, then city B and C are 100 + 50 = 150 miles apart. The plane's total flying distance between cities A and C is 100 + 150 = 250 miles. The distance between city C and city D is twice the distance between city B and city C, meaning city C and city D are 2 * 150 = 300 miles apart. The plane flies a distance of 250 + 300 = 550 miles from city A to city D. The answer is 550.

Q: Thomas, Toby, and Rebecca worked a total of 157 hours in one week. Thomas worked x hours. Toby worked 10 hours less than twice what Thomas worked, and Rebecca worked 8 hours less than Toby. How many hours did Rebecca work?
A: Toby: 2x - 10. Rebecca: (2x - 10) - 8 = 2x - 18. Total:2x - 10 + 2x - 18 + x = 157. 5x - 28 = 157. 5x = 185. x = 37 hours. Rebecca:2(37) - 18 = 56 hours. The answer is 56.
Question: Yesterday, Sarah collected 50 aluminum cans while Lara collected 30 more aluminum cans. Today, Sarah collected 40 while Lara collected 70 aluminum cans. How many fewer cans did they collect today than yesterday?
Answer: Yesterday, Lara collected 50 + 30 = 80 aluminum cans. So Sarah and Lara collected a total of 50 + 80 = 130 aluminum cans yesterday. Today, Sarah and Lara collected a total of 40 + 70 = 110 aluminum cans. Thus, they collected 130 - 110 = 20 fewer aluminum cans today than yesterday. The answer is 20.
Q: The Parker family needs to leave the house by 5 pm for a dinner party. Mrs. Parker was waiting to get into the bathroom at 2:30 pm. Her oldest daughter used the bathroom for 45 minutes and her youngest daughter used the bathroom for another 30 minutes. Then her husband used it for 20 minutes. How much time will Mrs. Parker have to use the bathroom to leave on time?
A:
Between 2:30 pm and 5:00 pm, there are 2.5 hours. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 2.5 hours x 60 = 150 minutes. Her family was in the bathroom 45 + 30 + 20 = 95 minutes. Mrs. Parker has 150 minutes – 95 minutes = 55 minutes in the bathroom. The answer is 55.
