Initially, the were 180 / / 3 = 60 plums on the plum tree. When Damien picked 3 / 5 of the apples from the apple tree, he picked 3 / 5 * 180 = 108 apples. The number of apples remaining on the apple tree is 180 - 108 = 72. The number of plums that Damien picked from the plum tree is 3 / 5 * 60 = 36. The number of plums remaining on the plum tree is 60 - 36 = 24. The total number of fruits remaining on the trees is 72 apples + 24 plums = 96.
The answer: 96
Reverse engineering the question: An apple tree has three times as many apples as the number of plums on a plum tree. If Damien picks 3/5 of the fruits from the trees, calculate the total number of plums and apples remaining on the tree if there were 180 apples on the apple tree before Damien picked any of the fruits.

If X = "Price of Reuben" We know that 10(X) + 5(X + 2) = 55. Therefore 10X + 5X + 10 = 55. Therefore 15X = 45. Therefore, the price of a Reuben is $3 because 45 / 15 = 3. The price of pastrami is $5 because 3 + 2 = 5.
The answer: 5
Reverse engineering the question: Reuben opens a sandwich shop selling his namesake sandwich and pastrami sandwiches. Pastrami cost $2 more than the Reuben. He sells 10 Reubens and 5 Pastrami sandwiches and earns $55. How much does a pastrami sandwich cost?

She makes $10.00 an hour for 2 hours walking dogs so she makes 10 * 2 = $20.00 every morning. Over 7 days she makes 7 * 20 = $140.00 a week. She makes $12.50 for 2 hours working at a card shop so she makes 12.5 * 2 = $25.00. She works there 5 days a week so she makes 5 * 25 = $125.00 a week. She also babysits for 4 hours making $10.00 an hour for a total of 4 * 10 = $40.00. Over 7 days, she makes 140 + 125 + 40 = $305.00.
The answer: 305
Reverse engineering the question: Donna worked 2 hours every morning walking dogs in her neighborhood for $10.00 an hour. 5 days a week, after school, she worked at a card shop for 2 hours and made $12.50 an hour. On the weekends, she usually made $10.00 an hour babysitting and was guaranteed 4 hours every Saturday from her neighbor. How much money did she make over 7 days?

Two times the number of puppies is 32 * 2 = 64 kittens. There are 64 + 14 = 78 kittens.
The answer: 78
Reverse engineering the question:
There are 14 more kittens than two times the number of puppies at the animal shelter. If there are 32 puppies at the shelter, how many kittens are there?
