Question: Robe's car broke and he used $10 from his savings to pay for the repair. Before the repair, he bought 2 kinds of spare parts. A corner light that costs twice the price of the repair fee, and two brake disks; each disk cost thrice the price of the corner light. After that, he had $480 savings left. How much money did Robe have saved before his car broke?
Answer: The corner light cost $10 x 2 = $20. Each brake disk costs $20 x 3 = $60. So, the total price of the brake disks is $60x 2 = $120. He spent $10 + $20 + $120 = $150 for the repair. Therefore, Robe has saved $480 + 150 = $630 before his car broke. The answer is 630.

A: Donna had 2 * 1 = 2 pieces of cake left. Before her snack, there were 2 + 1 = 3 pieces left. Those 3 pieces were half the leftovers, so she had 3 * 2 = 6 pieces before sharing with her brothers. Those 6 pieces were half the party leftovers, so the cake was 2 * 6 = 12 pieces before the party. The answer is 12.
