When you take Hiram's age and then add 12, you get 4 less than twice Allyson's age. If Hiram is 40 years old, how old is Allyson?

If Hiram's age is 40, when you add 12, his age becomes 40+12=

<<40+12=52>>52 If you add 4 from Hiram's age after adding twelve to his age, you get 52+4 = 56, which is twice Allyson's age. Allyson's age is 56/2 = <<56/2=28>>28 years #### 28 My dog was born when I was 15 years old. Two years from now, my dog will turn 4 years old. How old am I now? In 2 years, my dog will be 4 years old, so my dog is 4 - 2 = <<4-2=2>>2 years old now. So I am 15 + 2 = <<15+2=17>>17 years old now. #### 17 Sally took 342 pens to her class of 44 students. If she gave 7 pens to each student, left half of the remainder in her locker, and took the rest home, how many did she take home? She gave 7 pens each to 44 students for a total of 7*44 = <<7*44=308>>308 pens There are now 342-308 = <<342-308=34>>34 pens left She left half of 34 pens in her locker which is 34*(1/2) = <<34*(1/2)=17>>17 pens She took 34-17 = <<34-17=17>>17 pens home #### 17 Margo donated $4300 to Jayden's fundraising campaign. If Julie donated $4700 to Jayden's campaign, What's half the difference in the amount they contributed? If Julie donated $4700 to Jayden's campaign, and Margo donated $4300, the difference in their contribution is $4700-$4300=$<<4700-4300=400>>400 Half the difference in the amount they contributed is 1/2*$400=$<<1/2*400=200>>200 #### 200 The Lion King cost 10 million to make and earned 200 million at the box office. If it earned a profit that was half of what Star Wars made and Star Wars cost 25 million to make, how many millions did Star Wars earn? The Lion King made 190 million in profit because 200 - 10 = <<200-10=190>>190 Star Wars made 380 in profit because 190 x 2 = <<190*2=380>>380 Star Wars earned 405 million because 25 + 380 = <<25+380=405>>405 #### 405 Hilary is collecting her toenails in a jar to gross out her sister. She can fit 100 toenails in the jar, unless they are from her two big toes, which are twice as big as the rest. She has already filled it with 20 big toenails and 40 regular toenails. How many regular toenails can she fit into the remainder of the jar? The 20 big toenails take up as much space as 40 regular toenails because 20 x 2 = <<20*2=40>>40 She has filled up 80 toenails worth because 40 + 40 = <<40+40=80>>80 She can fit 20 regular toenails in the jar because 100 - 80 = <<100-80=20>>20 #### 20 Monroe has a collection of ants and a collection of spiders. He has 8 spiders and 12 ants. He is wondering what the number of legs of the entire collection is. The ants have 72 legs because 12 times 6 equals <<12*6=72>>72 The spiders have 64 legs because 8 times 8 equals <<8*8=64>>64. There are a total of 136 legs because 72 plus 64 equals <<72+64=136>>136. #### 136 Daleyza won a house construction project that involved the construction of three houses with several units. The first building was designed to have 4000 units, the second building 2/5 times as many units as the first building, and the third building was to have 20% more units than the second building. How many units were Daleyza contracted to build? If the first building was designed to have 4000 units, the second building, which had 2/5 times as many units as the first building, was to have 2/5*4000 = 1600 more units. Together, the first and the second building had to have 1600+4000=<<1600+4000=5600>>5600. The third building was to have 120/100*1600=<<120/100*1600=1920>>1920 units Altogether, Daleyza won a project that required her to construct 5600+1920=<<5600+1920=7520>>7520 units. #### 7520 Noah has two closets. Each closet can fit 1/4 as much as Ali's closet, which can fit 200 pairs of jeans. How many jeans can both Noah’s closets fit? Each of Noah’s closets can fit 200 * 1/4 = <<200*1/4=50>>50 pairs of jeans. Combined, both his closets can fit 50 * 2 = <<50*2=100>>100 pairs of jeans. #### 100 Mr. Maximilian is a dairy animal farmer and has 140 cows on his farm. Forty percent of the cows on his farm have a red spot, 25 percent of the cows without a red spot have a blue spot and the remaining cows do not have any spot. How many cows on the farm have no spot? If Mr. Maximilian has 140 cows and 40% of them have red spots, then 40/100*140 = <<140*40/100=56>>56 cows have red spots. The number of cows with no red spot is 140-56 = <<140-56=84>>84 cows. Out of the 84 cows without a red spot, 25% of them have a blue spot, a total of 25/100*84 = <<25/100*84=21>>21 cows. The number of cows without any spot is 84-21 =<<84-21=63>>63 animals. #### 63
