[Question]: Karen’s work tote bag is twice the weight of her husband Kevin’s briefcase when the briefcase is empty. When Kevin puts his laptop and work papers in his briefcase, it is twice the weight of Karen’s tote. Kevin’s work papers are a sixth of the weight of the contents of his full briefcase. If Karen’s tote weighs 8 pounds, how many more pounds does Kevin’s laptop weigh than Karen’s tote?
[Answer]: Kevin’s full briefcase is 2 * 8 = 16 pounds. His empty briefcase is 8 / 2 = 4 pounds. The contents of his briefcase weigh 16 - 4 = 12 pounds. His work papers weigh 12 / 6 = 2 pounds. Thus, his laptop weighs 12 - 2 = 10 pounds. Therefore, Kevin’s laptop weighs 10 - 8 = 2 pounds more than Karen’s tote.
So the answer is 2.

[Question]: Michelangelo has 28 ceilings to paint. This week, he paints 12 of them. Next week, he will paint 1/4 the number of ceilings he did this week. How many ceilings will be left to paint after next week?
[Answer]: After this week, Michelangelo will have 28 - 12 = 16 more ceilings to paint. Next week, Michelangelo will paint 12 / 4 = 3 ceilings. Michelangelo will have 16 - 3 = 13 more ceilings to paint.
So the answer is 13.

First we need to know what half of Bills toys are, 60 toys / 2 = 30 toys. Hash has 9 toys + 30 toys = 39 toys. Together the boys have 60 toys + 39 toys = 99 toys.
So the answer is 99.
