Question: Malcolm has 240 followers on Instagram and 500 followers on Facebook. The number of followers he has on Twitter is half the number of followers he has on Instagram and Facebook combined. Meanwhile, the number of followers he has on TikTok is 3 times the number of followers is has on Twitter, and he has 510 more followers on Youtube than he has on TikTok. How many followers does Malcolm have on all his social media?
Answer: Malcolm has 240 followers + 500 followers = 740 followers on Instagram and Facebook. He has 740 followers / 2 = 370 followers on Twitter. He has 370 followers x 3 = 1110 followers on Tiktok. He has 1110 followers + 510 followers = 1620 followers on Youtube. Altogether, Malcolm has 740 followers + 370 followers + 1110 followers + 1620 followers = 3840 followers on social media.

Question: Sean needs to replace 2 light bulbs in his bedroom, 1 in both the bathroom and the kitchen and 4 in the basement. He also needs to replace 1/2 of that amount in the garage. The bulbs come 2 per pack. How many packs will he need?
Answer: He needs to replace lights in the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and basement so 2 + 1 + 1 + 4 = 8 lightbulbs.

They come 2 per pack and he needs 12 lightbulbs so he needs 12 / 2 = 6 packs of lightbulbs. The answer is 6.
[Question]A class has 60 students. The number of students who bring their lunch is thrice the number of those who eat in the school cafeteria. The rest of the students don't eat lunch. If 10 students eat in the school cafeteria, how many don't eat lunch?
[Answer]Multiplying the number of students eating at the cafeteria by three means that 3 * 10 = 30 students bring lunch. The total number of students that eat lunch is 10 + 30 = 40 students. Since the class has 60 students, those who don't eat lunch are 60 - 40 = 20 students. The answer is 20.
