The price that Shara paid is only 100% - 8% = 92% of the original price. So, every 1% is equal to $184 / 92 = $2. Therefore, Shara saved $2 x 8 = $16.
The answer: 16
Reverse engineering the question: A store has an 8% discount on all items. If Shara paid $184 for a pair of shoes, how much did Shara save?
Reasoning and answer: Each cut piece is 20 / 2 = 10 feet long. So they each weigh 10 * 150 = 1500 pounds.
The answer: 1500

Question: John takes a 20-foot log and cuts it in half. If each linear foot of the log weighs 150 pounds how much does each cut piece weigh?
Since Daisy is 6 inches taller than Reese, she must be 60 inches + 8 inches = 68 inches tall. Parker is 4 inches shorter than Daisy, making her 68 inches 4 inches = 64 inches. The average height of the three of them is (60 inches + 68 inches + 64 inches) / 3 = 64 inches.
The answer: 64
Reverse engineering the question: Parker is 4 inches shorter than Daisy. Daisy is 8 inches taller than Reese. If Reese is 60 inches tall, what is the average height for the three of them?
Reasoning and answer: To figure out this problem we need to turn it into an equation. Let's make A the number of nuggets Alyssa ate. We know all three girls ate 100 nuggets total, so 100 nuggets = A (how many Alyssa ate) + 2A (how many Keely ate) + 3A (how many Kendall ate) or 100 = A + 2A + 3A which is 100 = 5A. Then we will divide each side by 5 to figure out how many nuggets Alyssa ate, 100 / 5 = 5A / 5 or 20 = A.
The answer: 20
What was the question?
Question: Alyssa, Keely, and Kendall ordered 100 chicken nuggets from a fast-food restaurant. Keely and Kendall each ate twice as many as Alyssa. How many did Alyssa eat?
There are 20 x 10 = 200 seats in the auditorium. Only 200 x 3 / 4 = 150 seats were sold. Hence, the earnings from the play is $10 x 150 = $1500.
The answer: 1500
Reverse engineering the question: A play was held in an auditorium and its ticket costs $10. An auditorium has 20 rows and each row has 10 seats. If only 3/4 of the seats were sold, how much was earned from the play?
He watched 2 * 20 = 40 minutes of Jeopardy. Wheel of Fortune is 2 * 20 = 40 minutes each. So he watched it for 40 * 2 = 80 minutes. So he watched 40 + 80 = 120 minutes of TV. That means he watched 120 / 60 = 2 hours of TV.
The answer: 2
Reverse engineering the question:
James watched 2 episodes of Jeopardy and 2 episodes of Wheel of Fortune. Jeopardy is 20 minutes and Wheel of Fortune is twice as long. How many hours did he watch TV?
