Emily sold 180 / 3 = 60 oranges. Alice sold 60 * 2 = 120 oranges.
The answer: 120
Reverse engineering the question: Alice and Emily are selling oranges at the farmer's market. Alice sold twice as many oranges as Emily did. In total, they sold 180 oranges. How many oranges did Alice sell?


Reasoning and answer: The combined cost of everything was 2500 + 3500 + 2000 = $8000. So he gets an 8000 * .1 = $800 discount. That means he pays 8000 - 800 = $7200.
The answer: 7200

Question: James decides to buy a living room set. The coach cost $2500 and the sectional cost $3500 and everything else has a combined cost of $2000. He gets a 10% discount on everything. How much did he pay?


Janine read 5 x 2 = 10 books this month. So, she read a total of 5 + 10 = 15 books. Therefore, she read 15 x 10 = 150 pages in all.
The answer: 150
Reverse engineering the question: Janine read 5 books last month. This month, she read twice as many books. If each book has 10 pages, how many pages did Janine read in two months?


Reasoning and answer: If a paint mixer takes three days to make 18 drums of paint in a day, he makes 18 / 3 = 6 drums of paint. The number of days it will take for him to make 360 drums of paint, making 6 drums a day, is 360 / 6 = 60 days.
The answer: 60
What was the question?
Question: Making an equal number of drums of paint each day, a paint mixer takes three days to make 18 drums of paint. How many days will it take for him to make 360 drums of paint?


The ticket costs 109 - 5 = $104 for each child. So the ticket cost of the two children is 104 x 2 = $208. The couple needs to pay the regular price, so it's 109 x 2 = $218. Thus, the family needs to pay a total of 208 + 218 = $426. Therefore, their change is 500 - 426 = $74.
The answer: 74
Reverse engineering the question: A couple with two children, ages 6 and 10 years old, decided to go to an amusement park. The regular ticket costs $109, but children below 12 years old have a $5 discount. If they gave the cashier $500, how much change will they receive?


After 10 years, growing at the rate of 3 inches every year, Haley will have grown by 3 * 10 = 30 inches. If she is currently 20 inches tall, her height after 10 years will be 20 + 30 = 50 inches.
The answer: 50
Reverse engineering the question:
Haley grows at the rate of 3 inches every year. If she is currently 20 inches tall, what will be her height after 10 years?
