If everyone wore life jackets, only 21 - 7 = 14 people could fit on the raft. For every person less on the raft, 14 / 7 = 2 life jackets could fit. For 8 life jackets, 8 / 2 = 4 less people could fit. 21 - 4 = 17 people could fit on the raft.
The answer: 17
Reverse engineering the question: There was only enough room for 21 people on a raft if no one wore life jackets. There were 7 fewer people who could fit on the raft if everyone wore life jackets. If 8 people on the raft needed life jackets, how many people could fit on the raft?
Reasoning and answer: From the first set of meals, the restaurant earned 10 meals * $8 = $80. From the second set of meals, the restaurant earned 5 meals * $10 = $50. From the third set of meals, the restaurant earned 20 meals * $4 = $80. In total, the restaurant earned $80 + $50 + $80 = $210.
The answer: 210

7 days a week Laura drives 20 miles to school, so Laura drives 7 x 20 = 140 miles to school in one week. The supermarket is 10 miles farther away than the school. Therefore the supermarket is 10 + 10 = 20 miles away from Laura’s house. Laura drives 20 miles each way to and from the supermarket. Each trip is 20 x 2 = 40 miles. Laura drives 40 miles twice a week to visit the supermarket. Therefore she drives 40 x 2 = 80 miles in total a week to and from the supermarket. In total Laura drives 140 + 80 = 220 miles each week.
The answer: 220
Reverse engineering the question: Laura’s House is a 20-mile round trip from her school. The supermarket is 10 miles farther away from the school. If Laura drives to school every morning and two afternoons a week drives to the supermarket. How many miles does Laura driver per week?
Reasoning and answer: The cost of the mangoes is 6 mangoes × $3 / mango = $18. The cost of the apple juice is 6 cartons × $3 / carton = $18. Find the total cost of the groceries which is $18 + $18 = $36. Rihanna has $50 − $36 = $14 left.
The answer: 14

Question: Rihanna has $50 to go to the supermarket. Rihanna bought 6 mangoes and 6 cartons of apple juice. Each mango cost $3 and each carton of apple juice cost $3. How much money does Rihanna have left?
Reasoning and answer: If the total cost of an orange and a pear is $120, and a pear costs $90, an orange costs $120 - $90 = $30. Since the difference between the price of an orange and a pear is the price of a banana, a banana is sold at $90 - $30 = $60. To buy 200 bananas, you'll pay $60 * 200 = $12000. When you twice as many oranges as bananas, you buy 2 * 200 = 400 oranges. The total cost of buying 400 oranges is 400 * 30 = $12000. The total price of buying 200 bananas and twice as many oranges as bananas is $12000 + $12000 = $24000.
The answer: 24000
