A trader made a profit of $960 after a week of sales. To raise $610 to pay for her next shipment of wares, she splits the profit in half and solicits donations from her family and friends. If she received a total donation of $310 and adds it to one-half of her profit, how much money did she make above her goal?
Let's think: She splits her $960 profit in half to get $960 / 2 = $480. She receives a total donation of $310, so she now has $310 + $480 = $790. She needed only $610 so she has $790 - $610 = $180 more than she needs.. The answer is: 180.

Calvin and Paislee played a pool game where points were awarded for winning a round. If Calvin had scored 500 points and Paislee 3/4 times as many points as Calvin, how many points was Paislee required to achieve to have a chance of tying the game?
Let's think: If Calvin had scored 500 points and Paislee 3 / 4 times as many points as Calvin, Paislee had scored 3 / 4 * 500 = 375 points. To have a chance of tying the game, Paislee had to score 500 - 375 = 125 points.. The answer is: 125.

Kiarra is twice as old as Bea. Job is 3 times older than Bea. Figaro is 7 years older than Job. Harry is half as old as Figaro. If Kiarra is 30, how old is Harry?
Let's think: Bea is 30 / 2 = 15 years old. Job is 15 * 3 = 45 years old. Figaro is 45 + 7 = 52 years old. Harry is 52 / 2 = 26 years old.. The answer is: 26.

Mandy is 3 years old. Her brother is 4 times as old as she is. Her sister is 5 years younger than her brother. What is the age difference between Mandy and her sister?
Let's think:
Mandy's brother's age is 3 years x 4 = 12 years old. Her sister's age is 12 years - 5 years = 7 years old. The age difference between Mandy and her sister is 7 years - 3 years = 4 years.. The answer is: 4.
