Question: Gary counted the number of whiskers on the faces of his two cats. Princess Puff has 14 whiskers, while Catman Do has 6 less than twice the number of whiskers as Princess puff. How many whiskers does Catman Do have?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Twice the number of whiskers as Catman Do is 14 * 2 = 28 whiskers. Catman Do has 6 less than twice the number of whiskers as Princess puff, for a total of 28 - 6 = 22 whiskers.
So the answer is 22.


Question: Tim is 5 years old. His cousin, Rommel, is thrice as old as he is. His other cousin, Jenny, is 2 years older than Rommel. How many years younger is Tim than Jenny?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Rommel is 5 x 3 = 15 years old. Jenny is 15 + 2 = 17 years old. So, Tim is 17 - 5 = 12 years younger than Jenny.
So the answer is 12.


Question: Sam shared a sum of money between his three cousins Sandra, Amy and Ruth in the ratio 2:1:3 respectively. If Amy got $50, how much did Sandra get?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
Going by the ratio, for every 1 part that Amy gets, Sandra will get 2 parts. Since Amy got $50, Sandra will get 2 * $50 = $100.
So the answer is 100.
