Reasoning and answer: Peggy has 6 dolls and her grandmother gave her 30 so that’s 6 + 30 = 36 dolls. Over the holidays, Peggy is gifted half the number of dolls her grandmother gave her, so she receives 30 / 2 = 15 more dolls. Peggy had 36 dolls and received another 15 for a total of 36 + 15 = 51 dolls.

Reasoning and answer: Since Darryl has 20 books, Lamont, who has twice the number of books Darryl has, has 20 * 2 = 40 books. The total number of books both Darryl and Lamont has is 40 + 20 = 60 books. To have the same number of books as Lamont, Loris needs 3 more books, meaning she has 40 - 3 = 37 books. In total, the three has 60 + 37 = 97 books.
The answer: 97
