3 children rode the Ferris wheel at $5 reach for a total of 3 * $5 = $15. 5 children rode the merry - go - round at $3 each for a total of 5 * $3 = $15. 5 children bought 2 cones of ice cream each at $8 per cone for a total of 5 * 2 * $8 = $80. In total, they spent $15 + $15 + $80 = $110.
The answer: 110
Reverse engineering the question: A group of 5 children are taken to an amusement park. Only 3 of them were daring enough to get on the Ferris wheel which cost $5 per child. Everyone had a go at the merry-go-round (at $3 per child). On their way home, they bought 2 cones of ice cream each (each cone cost $8). How much did they spend altogether?
Reasoning and answer: Lizard eats 12 / 2 = 6 bugs. Frog eats 6 x 3 = 18 bugs. Toad eats 18 x 1.50 = 27 bugs. The lizard, frog and toad eat 6 + 18 + 27 = 51 bugs. Adding what the gecko eats, a total of 12 + 51 = 63 bugs are eaten.
The answer: 63

Question: In the garden, the gecko eats 12 bugs. The lizard eats half as many bugs as the gecko. The frog eats 3 times as many bugs as the lizard. The toad eats 50% more bugs than the frog. How many bugs are eaten in total by all of them?
In the trees, there are 7 trees * 3 blackbirds per tree = 21 blackbirds. In addition to the magpies, there is a total of 21 blackbirds + 13 magpies = 34 birds in the park.
The answer: 34
Reverse engineering the question: A wildlife team is monitoring the number of birds in a park. There are 3 blackbirds in each of the park's 7 trees. There are also 13 magpies roaming around the park. How many birds are in the park in total?
Reasoning and answer: 8 pints of paint cost $8.00 each so they would cost her 8 * 8 = $64.00. 8 pints of paint cost $64.00 or she could buy a gallon of paint for $55.00. If she buys a gallon, she will save 64 - 55 = $9.00.
The answer: 9

Question: Christine figures it would take a pint of paint to paint the front and back of 1 door in her house. She has 8 doors to paint. At the paint store, she can either buy 8 separate pints of paint for $8.00 a pint or a gallon of paint (which is the same as 8 pints) for a flat $55.00 How much money will she save if she buys the gallon of paint instead of 8 pints?
Reasoning and answer: If the lioness is 12 years old, the hyena, half her age, is 12 / 2 = 6 years old. The baby of the lioness is 12 / 2 = 6 years old, half the mother's age. Five years from now, the age of the lioness's cub will be 6 + 5 = 11. The baby of the hyena is 6 / 2 = 3 years old, which is half the mother's age. The hyena's baby will be 3 + 5 = 8 years old in five years. Together, the total age of the babies will be 8 + 11 = 19 years in five years.
The answer: 19
What was the question?
Question:
The age of a lioness in a park is twice the age of a hyena in the same park. The lioness is 12 years old. If the babies of the two animals are half the age of their mothers, calculate the sum of the age of the babies in five years.
