Three times as many days as a typical person has fingers and toes is 3 * 20 = 60 days. Three days per instance of bullying is 60 / 3 = 20 instances of bullying.
The answer: 20
Reverse engineering the question: Kris has been suspended for bullying many times. For every instance of bullying, she was suspended for 3 days. If she has been suspended for three times as many days as a typical person has fingers and toes, how many instances of bullying is she responsible for?
Reasoning and answer: There are 100 cents in each $1 so $5 gives 5 * 100 cents = 500 cents. To recover her capital of 500 cents from a selling price of 20 cents per egg she has to sell 500 / 20 = 25 eggs. There were 30 eggs in the crate to start with so she will have 30 - 25 = 5 eggs left.
The answer: 5

Question: Samantha bought a crate of 30 eggs for $5. If she decides to sell each egg for 20 cents, how many eggs will she have left by the time she recovers her capital from the sales?
When Luisa takes out two apples from the bag, 7 apples - 2 apples = 5 apples remain in the bag. She also takes 2 apples * 2 oranges / apple = 4 oranges from the bag. The total number of oranges remaining in the bag is 8 oranges - 4 oranges = 4 oranges. Additionally, a total of 2 / 3 * 15 mangoes = 10 mangoes are also removed from the bag. The total number of mangoes remaining in the bag is 15 mangoes - 10 mangoes = 5 mangoes. The total number of fruits that Luisa left in the bag is 5 apples + 4 oranges + 5 mangoes = 14.
The answer: 14
Reverse engineering the question: A bag has seven apples, eight oranges, and 15 mangoes. Luisa takes out two apples from the bag, and takes out twice as many oranges as apples as she took from the bag. She then takes out 2/3 the number of mangoes from the bag. What is the remaining number of fruits in the bag?
Reasoning and answer: Socorro trains for a total of 10 + 20 = 30 minutes each day. She needs to train for a total of 5 x 60 = 300 minutes since an hour has 60 minutes. Therefore, she will complete her training in 300 / 30 = 10 days.
The answer: 10
What was the question?
Question: Socorro is preparing for a math contest. She needs to train for a total of 5 hours. Each day, she answers problems about multiplication for 10 minutes and then division problems for 20 minutes. How many days will it take for her to complete her training?
Two $20 bills amount to $20 x 2 = $40. Three $5 bills amount to $5 x 3 = $15. So, Marj has $40 + $15 + $4.50 = $59.50 in her wallet. If she buys a cake, she will be left with $59.50 - $17.50 = $42.
The answer: 42
Reverse engineering the question: Marj has two $20 bills, three $5 bills, and $4.50 in loose coins in her wallet. If she buys a cake that costs $17.50, how much money will be left in her wallet?
The number of students that play sports is 400 * 0.52 = 208 students. The number of students that play soccer is 208 * .125 = 26 students.
The answer: 26
Reverse engineering the question:
