Q: Janet has 60 less than four times as many siblings as Masud. Carlos has 3/4 times as many siblings as Masud. If Masud has 60 siblings, how many more siblings does Janet have more than Carlos?
A: If Masud has 60 siblings, and Carlos has 3 / 4 times as many siblings as Masud, Carlos has 3 / 4 * 60 = 45 siblings. Four times as many siblings as Masud has is 4 * 60 = 240. Janet has 60 less than four times as many siblings as Masud, a total of 240 - 60 = 180 siblings. The number of siblings Janet have more than Carlos is 180 - 45 = 135. The answer is 135.
Question: Suzie and 5 of her friends decide to rent an Airbnb at Lake Tahoe for 4 days from Thursday to Sunday. The rental rate for weekdays is $420 per day. The weekend rental rate is $540 per day. They all decide to split the rental evenly. How much does each person have to pay?
Answer: The cost of the rental for Thursday and Friday comes to $420 * 2 = $840. The cost of the rental for Saturday and Sunday comes to $540 * 2 = $1080. The total cost of the rental comes to $840 + 1080 = $1920. The payment required for each person comes to $1920 / 6 = $320. The answer is 320.

Q: 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?
A: 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.
