So the answer is 199.


Question: Jerome bought 5 new toy cars last month. This month he bought twice as many so that he has 40 toy cars now. How many toy cars did Jerome have originally?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Jerome bought 5 x 2 = 10 toy cars this month. So he bought a total of 5 + 10 = 15 toy cars. Therefore, Jerome had 40 - 15 = 25 toy cars originally.
So the answer is 25.


Question: Jackson has 5 times more money than Williams. Together, they have $150. How much money, in dollars, does Jackson have?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
Let x be the amount of money Williams has. Jackson has 5 * x dollars. 5 * x + x = 150. 6 * x = 150. x = 25. Jackson has 25 * 5 = 125 dollars.
So the answer is 125.
