Question: In a Volleyball competition, Lizzie was able to score 4 points. Nathalie's score is 3 more than Lizzie's score and Aimee's score is twice the score of Lizzie and Nathalie combined. The rest of the points were made by their teammates. If the whole team was able to score 50 points, how many points did their teammates make?
Answer: Nathalie's score is 4 + 3 = 7. And the total points of Nathalie and Lizzie when combined is 7 + 4 = 11. So, the total score of Aimee is 11 x 2 = 22. Lizzie, Nathalie, and Aimee's total score is 22 + 11 = 33. Therefore, their teammates were able to score 50 - 33 = 17. The answer is 17.
[Question]David swims the 100-meter freestyle in 48 seconds. He swims the 100-meter backstroke 4 seconds slower than he swims the 100-meter freestyle, he swims the 100-meter butterfly 3 seconds slower than he swims the 100-meter backstroke, and he swims the 100-meter breaststroke 2 seconds slower than he swims the 100-meter butterfly. What is the combined length of time, in seconds, it would take for him to swim all four 100-meter events (the freestyle, the backstroke, the butterfly, and the breaststroke)?
[Answer]David swims the 100m backstroke at 48 + 4 = 52 seconds. He swims the 100m butterfly at 52 + 3 = 55 seconds. He swims the 100m breaststroke at 55 + 2 = 57 seconds. IN total, it would take David 48 + 52 + 55 + 57 = 212 seconds. The answer is 212.
Q: Twice Betty's age is the cost of a pack of nuts. Doug, Betty's friend, is 40 years old. If the sum of their ages is 90, and Betty wants to buy 20 packs of the nuts, calculate the amount of money she'll pay for the packs of nuts.
A: If Doug, Betty's friend, is 40 years old, and the sum of their ages is 90, Betty is 90 - 40 = 50 years old. Since twice Betty's age is the cost of a pack of nuts, a pack of nuts is sold at 2 * $50 = $100. If Betty wants to buy 20 packs of the nuts, she'll have to pay 20 * $100 = $2000. The answer is 2000.
Question: Maya wants to learn how to lift and right now she can only lift a fourth of what America can. America can lift 240 pounds. As Maya grows stronger, she can add 10 more pounds to what she previously could lift. America follows this and now she has hit her peak lift at 300 pounds. If Maya reaches her absolute peak and can lift half of what America can lift, how many more pounds can Maya lift now than when she started?
Answer: Maya can lift 240 * 0.25 = 60 pounds. Gaining progress, she can lift up to 60 + 10 = 70 pounds. At her peak, she can lift 300 * 0.5 = 150 pounds. Maya's peak is 150 pounds - 60 pounds when she started = 90 more pounds than when she started. The answer is 90.
