Reasoning and answer: If Raj has eaten 70 bananas in the basket, he has 2 * 70 = 140 bananas. The total number of bananas that Raj cut from the tree is 140 + 70 = 210. On the tree initially were 100 + 210 = 310 bananas.
The answer: 310

Question: A banana tree has 100 bananas left after Raj cut some bananas from it. If Raj has eaten 70 bananas and has twice as many remaining in his basket, how many bananas were on the tree initially?


She will be driving 330 miles for her trip because 2 x 165 = 330. They will need 11 gallons of gas because 330 / 30 = 11. The gas will cost $33 because 11 x 3 = 33. Her total cost is $123 because 10 + 55 + 25 + 33 = 123. She needs to save $95 more because 123 - 28 = 95.
The answer: 95
Reverse engineering the question: Sally is saving up for a trip to Sea World. She already has $28 saved. It costs her $10 to park, $55 to get into the park and $25 for a meal pass. Sea World is 165 miles away and her car gets 30 miles per gallon of gas. If gas costs $3 a gallon, how much more will she have to save up?


Reasoning and answer: First find how many days Cassidy is grounded for the low grades: 4 grades * 3 days / grade = 12 days. Then add that time to the 14 days she's grounded for lying to find the total grounding length: 12 days + 14 days = 26 days.
The answer: 26

The number of ripe mangoes from the tree is 3 / 5 * 400 = 240. If Lindsay eats 60% of the ripe mangoes, she eats 60 / 100 * 240 = 144 mangoes. The total number of ripe mangoes remaining is 240 - 144 = 96.
The answer: 96
Reverse engineering the question: 3/5 of the mangoes on a mango tree are ripe. If Lindsay eats 60% of the ripe mangoes, calculate the number of ripe mangoes remaining if there were 400 mangoes on the tree to start with.


Reasoning and answer: The total number of petals Mabel has in her garden is 5 x 8 = 40 petals. The total number of petals that Mabel gives to her teacher is 2 x 8 = 16 petals. The total number of petals remaining in her garden is 40 - 16 = 24 petals.
The answer: 24
