2. Cameron got 17 loot bags on Hallowe'en. 5 had chips in them, 3 had gum, 4 had peanuts and the rest had chocolate. How many had chocolate?

3. Hilda the Witch flew to a friend's home. She traveled for two hours to get there. She made it home in 97 minutes. How many minutes did she spend traveling altogether?

5. The Great Pumpkind flew over 3 dozen house in Transylvanis and then flew over 28 houses in Jasper. How many more houses did he fly over in Transylvania?
