Myseek, these are interesting and intriguing, but math was never my best subject, nor was analytical thinking a strong point. I've tried some of these type puzzles before, and enjoyed working on them, but always missed some small change and therefore missed the answer. Failure after failure got discouraging so I don't even attempt them any more.
I'm glad to see them introduced here for others to tackle and enjoy.

MrsJoe, don't take this kind of math too seriously. No competition intended. It is just something to activate the brain cells in the morning or whenever. Let me tell you, I disliked everything around Math
when I went to school and tried to cheat in math tests. LOL

To prove my point, I looked it over and came up with 172 which is no where near anyone else's answer.

Myseek, I don't take them seriously, and do look them over to see what I could come up with for an answer, but usually don't offer it. It's good to stimulate the senses and the brain with puzzles.
I'm chuckling at the thought of YOU trying to cheat on a math test. I sort of jogged through school, putting off my homework until the last moment, like finishing it on the bus to school. I was blessed with a good, retentive memory (my mother said I got that from my dad) and did great with my classes and grades, except math. It was a struggle for me, so I took as little of it as I possible could.
I do remember one time, three of us were doing our math homework, and the other two were counting on me to do the figuring.... actually, they were copying me........ wrong choice for them! We all missed the same problems, giving the same wrong answers, and got our papers tossed out for copying. The teacher said she couldn't figure out who copied whom, so she gave us all the same grade.... ZERO.

I just noticed that I did not give the result.

147 is the result!
