Harper has 15 rubber bands. His brother has 6 fewer rubber bands than he has. How many rubber bands do they have together?
Let's think: His brother has 15 rubber bands - 6 rubber bands = 9 rubber bands. They have 15 rubber bands + 9 rubber bands = 24 rubber bands together.. The answer is: 24.

Josh has some money. He spent $1.75 on a drink, and then spent another $1.25. If he had $6 left, how much money, in dollars, did Josh have at first?
Let's think: Josh spent 1.75 + 1.25 = 3 dollars in total. Josh had 6 + 3 = 9 dollars at first.. The answer is: 9.

The marching band has 110 members. There are 4 times as many percussion players as there are woodwind, and twice as many woodwinds as brass. How many brass players are there?
Let's think: Let x represent the number of brass players in the band. Woodwind:2x. Percussion:4(2x) = 8x. Total:x + 2x + 8x = 110. 11x = 110. x = 10.. The answer is: 10.

Betsy won 5 games of Monopoly. Helen won twice as many as Betsy and Susan won three times as many as Betsy. Between them, how many games have they won?
Let's think:
Helen won twice as many games as Betsy's 5 so Helen won 2 * 5 = 10 games. Susan won three times as many games as Betsy's 5 so Susan won 3 * 5 = 15 games. When you combine their wins, together they won 5 + 10 + 15 = 30 games total.. The answer is: 30.
