As in the other puzzles, all numbers are in Base 10.

$\begingroup$ I think this question requires a little bit more effort - perhaps a link to the original puzzle? Also the question itself should be in the body, not just the title. $\endgroup$– KoAMay 27, 2016 at 11:26

$\begingroup$ Do we have to think in other language than English to get the answer, just like the other question. puzzling.stackexchange.com/q/33263/19658 $\endgroup$– A JMay 27, 2016 at 12:12

$\begingroup$ I would add them all and reduce by 26. $\endgroup$– m4n0May 27, 2016 at 12:33

I did so many calculations on the other puzzle that this one is easy from memory :)
4 years + 22 months = 70 months

Another possible answer:
4 dozen + 22 = 70
or
(4*12=48)+22=70

In the additive cyclic group of integers modulo $44$ $(\mathbb Z_{44})$:
$\overline{22}+\overline{4 }=\overline{22+4}=\overline{26}= \overline{44+26}=\overline{70}$, where $\overline x$ denotes the equivalence class of $x$.

A possible answer:
The questions asks how to add 22 to 4 to get 70: Add twenty-two 3s to 4:
$22\times 3 + 4 = 70$
$\begingroup$

it will be
4 dozens (12 * 4 )+ 22 =70
