Mr. Young has 60 pencils and the school has 400 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you do 200 times 2 you get 400 this is how you get the pencils for the school. If you do 30 times 2 you get 60 therefore Mr. Young has 60 pencils. You can use the keywords "times more" to get multiplication and sense Jack has 2 you know that you have to use 2 in the equation. If you pay attention it says Mr. Young has 30 times more which means you have to do 30 times 2 which gets you 60.

Now we do the schools pencils. It says that the school has 200 more pencils and since we know to use the two pencils from jack then we do 200 times 2 and we get 400 that gets our last answer which is 400 pencils in the school.
