You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I find most word type questions can be easily solved using excel to create rules/equations to your questions.
By using the numbers 15 and 45 you get they answer to your questions.
45 is 3 times more than 15
twice 45 is 90 which is 30 more than 4*15 which = 60.
Hope this helps
