[Question]Connor sleeps 6 hours a night. His older brother Luke sleeps 2 hours longer than Connor. Connor’s new puppy sleeps twice as long as Luke. How long does the puppy sleep?
[Answer]Luke sleeps 2 hours longer than Connor who sleeps 6 hours so that’s 2 + 6 = 8 hours. The new puppy sleeps twice as long as Luke, who sleeps 8 hours, so the puppy sleeps 2 * 8 = 16 hours. The answer is 16.
Q: Lloyd, Mark, and Michael have their Pokemon cards collection. Currently, Mark has thrice as many cards as Lloyd but has 10 fewer cards than Michael. If Michael has 100 cards now, how many more cards should they collect so that all three of them will have a total of 300 cards?
A: Mark has 10 fewer cards than Michael so Mark has 100 cards - 10 cards = 90 cards. So, Lloyd has 90 cards / 3 = 30 cards. All three of them have 90 cards + 30 cards + 100 cards = 220 cards. Thus, they need to collect 300 cards - 220 cards = 80 more cards. The answer is 80.
Question: Your video streaming subscription costs $14 a month. If you're evenly splitting the cost with your friend, how much do you pay in total after the first year for this service?
Answer: An even split is 50%. If the monthly subscription is $14, but I pay only 50% that means I pay every month $14 * 50% = $7. We know that in 1 year there are 12 months. Therefore if each month I pay $7, in 12 months I'd pay $7 * 12 = $84. The answer is 84.

Q: Hortense loves daisies and sunflowers. She planted 25 daisy seeds and 25 sunflower seeds in her flower bed. If 60% of the daisy seeds germinate, and 80% of the sunflower seeds germinate, and 80% of the resulting plants produce flowers, how many plants will she grow that produce flowers?
A: At a germination rate of 60%, 25 seeds will yield 60 / 100 * 25 = 15 plants. At a germination rate of 80%, 25 seeds will yield 80 / 100 * 25 = 20 plants. In total, she will have grown 15 + 20 = 35 plants. If 80% of the plants developed flowers, then she will have grown (80 / 100) * 35 = 28 plants that produce flowers. The answer is 28.
Question: Jennifer wants to go to a museum. There is one 5 miles away from her home and one 15 miles away. If Jennifer goes to both museums on two separate days, how many miles total will she travel?
Answer:
Jennifer's home is 5 miles away from the first museum, so the round trip back and forth is 5 miles there + 5 miles back = 10 miles altogether. On another day Jennifer goes to a museum 15 miles away + 15 miles to return home = 30 miles total. Combined, Jennifer travels 10 miles on the first day + 30 miles on the second day = 40 miles Jennifer travels total. The answer is 40.
