He plays 2 hours
20 minutes = when he wakes up
120 - 20 = 100

45 minutes when he comes home
100-45 = 55

Tobi can play 55 minutes after dinner

2 hours is equivalent to 120 minutes so if you do
45+20 = 65 So then you have to subtract 65, the minutes he already spent playing by his total so you do
120-65=55
So he has 55 minutes to play after dinner
