[Question]Mary is trying to get Zoom set up for the first time. She spent 10 minutes downloading the Mac version, only to realize she needed the Windows version, which took three times as long to download. During her first call, the audio glitched twice for 4 minutes each time and the video glitched once for 6 minutes. She spent twice as long talking without glitches as with glitches. How much time did Mary spend downloading Zoom and talking total?
[Answer]First find the time Mary spent downloading the Windows version: 10 minutes * 3 = 30 minutes. Then find the total time the audio glitches took: 4 minutes / glitch * 2 glitches = 8 minutes. Then add the video glitch time to find the total glitch time: 8 minutes + 6 minutes = 14 minutes. Then double that time to find the total glitch - free time: 14 minutes * 2 = 28 minutes. Then add the talking time to the download time to find the total time: 30 minutes + 10 minutes + 14 minutes + 28 minutes = 82 minutes. The answer is 82.

Question: In January, Bill's labrador puppy weighs 40 pounds and his dachshund puppy weighs 12 pounds. Each dog gains 25% of their starting weight over the year. What's the difference in their weight at the end of the year?
Answer: First find how much weight the labrador puppy gains: 40 pounds * 25% = 10 pounds. Then add that weight gain to the puppy's starting weight: 40 pounds + 10 pounds = 50 pounds. Then find how much weight the dachshund puppy gains: 12 pounds * 25% = 3 pounds. Then add that weight gain to the puppy's starting weight: 12 pounds + 3 pounds = 15 pounds. Then subtract the dachshund puppy's weight from the labrador puppy's weight to find the difference: 50 pounds - 15 pounds = 35 pounds. The answer is 35.

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: John buys 2 packs of gum and 3 candy bars. Each stick of gum cost half as much as the candy bar. If the candy bar cost $1.5 each, how much did he pay in total?
Answer:
The gum cost $1.5 / 2 = $.75 per pack. So he pays $.75 * 2 = $1.5 for the gum. He pays $1.5 * 3 = $4.5 for the candy bars. So in total, he pays $1.5 + $4.5 = $6. The answer is 6.
