Reasoning and answer: Mary has collected 5 * $600 = $3000. Scott therefore has $3000 / 3 = $1000. All together, they have raised $3000 + $1000 + $600 = $4600. They have therefore exceeded their goal by $4600 - $4000 = $600.
The answer: 600
What was the question?
Question: Scott, Mary, and Ken committed to raising $4,000 for their local children's cancer hospital. Right now, Mary's collection is five times what Ken has, but three times Scott's funds. If Ken has $600, by how much have the three exceeded their goal?
The blacksmith can create a total of 400kg iron / 2kg iron per horseshoe = 200 horseshoes. The farms need enough horseshoes for 2 farms * 2 horses each = 4 horses. The stables need enough horseshoes for 5 stables * 2 horses each = 10 horses. So in total, the farms and stables have 4 + 10 = 14 horses that need horseshoes. This is a total of 14 horses * 4 horseshoes per horse = 56 horseshoes. This means the blacksmith has 200 total horseshoes 56 horseshoes for the stables and farms = 144 horseshoes left for the riding school. The riding school therefore will have enough horseshoes for 144 horseshoes / 4 horseshoes per horse = 36 horses.
The answer: 36
Reverse engineering the question: A blacksmith has 400kg of iron to make horseshoes for neighbouring farms and stables. There are 2 farms nearby, each of which has 2 horses. There are 2 stables nearby which all have 5 horses each. While the blacksmith is crafting, a riding school reaches out and asks for as many horseshoes as possible for their own horses. The blacksmith promises to give them however many horseshoes he has left when he has finished his orders for the farms and stables. If each horseshoe needs 2kg of iron, how many horses will get new horseshoes at the riding school?
Reasoning and answer: For the first week, her investment gain is $400 * 25% = $100. This leaves her investment with a value of $400 + $100 = $500. For the second week, her investment increased by $500 * 50% = $250. Pima's investment in Ethereum is now worth a total of $500 + $250 = $750.
The answer: 750
What was the question?
Question: Pima invested $400 in Ethereum. In the first week, it gained 25% in value. In the second week, it gained an additional 50% on top of the previous gain. How much is her investment worth now?
The loaves of bread cost 5 * $5 = $25. The orange juice cost 4 * $2 = $8. Wyatt's total cost is $25 + $8 = $33. Wyatt is left with the initial $74 - $33 = $41.
The answer: 41
Reverse engineering the question: Wyatt's mother gave him $74 to go to the store. Wyatt bought 5 loaves of bread and 4 cartons of orange juice. Each loaf of bread cost $5 and each carton of orange juice cost $2. How much money does Wyatt have left?
Reasoning and answer: As the groups are equally sized, they must each have 18 students in the class / 3 groups = 6 students in each group. So each group takes 6 students in each group * 4 minutes per each student's trip = 24 minutes to go through the museum.
The answer: 24
What was the question?
Question: Howard is taking his kindergarten class to the museum on a school trip. He splits the class equally into 3 groups and then each of the groups goes through the museum one student at a time. If the class has 18 students in total and each student takes 4 minutes to go through the museum, then how long, in minutes, does it take each group to go through the museum?
Reasoning and answer: After paying the deposit, Danielle still has to pay a total of $280k purchase price - $40k deposit = $240k via her mortgage. As the mortgage is over 10 years, Danielle's payments need to total $240k mortgage balance / 10 years = $24k per year. So each month, Danielle has to pay $24k per year / 12 months in a year = $2k per month.
The answer: 2
What was the question?
Question:
Danielle bought a new house for $280k. She paid a $40k deposit on the house, and pays the rest using a mortgage that is spread out over 10 years. Danielle makes equal payments every month and at the end of the 10 years, the entire balance will be paid off. How much, in thousands of dollars, does Danielle pay each month?
