Isabela bought twice as many cucumbers as pencils, meaning she bought 100 / 2 = 50 pencils. The total cost for purchasing the pencils without the discount is 50 * $20 = $1000. At a 20% discount, Isabela paid 20 / 100 * $1000 = $200 less. The total amount of money she used to buy the pencils is $1000 - $200 = $800. She also bought the cucumbers at a total cost of $20 * 100 = $2000. The total cost for the items is $2000 + $800 = $2800.
The answer: 2800
Reverse engineering the question: Isabela bought twice as many cucumbers as pencils, with both costing $20 each. If she got a 20% discount on the pencils and bought 100 cucumbers, calculate the total amount she spent to buy the items.
Reasoning and answer: Let c be the number of cats and let d be the number of dogs. We know that c = 20 + d and that the total number of animals is c + d = 60. Replacing c gives 20 + d + d = 60 animals. Combining like terms and subtracting 20 from both sides, we get 2d = 40. Dividing both sides by 2, we get d = 40 / 2 = 20. The shelter therefore received 20 + 20 = 40 cats.
The answer: 40
What was the question?
Question: Yesterday, the newly opened animal shelter received their first 60 animals. They got 20 more cats than dogs. How many cats did they take in?
He bought 250 * 100 = 25000 gems. He got a 25,000 * .2 = 5,000 gem bonus. So he got a total of 25000 + 5000 = 30,000 gems.
The answer: 30000
Reverse engineering the question: Tom spends $250 to buy gems in a game he plays. The game gives 100 gems for each dollar you spend. Since he bought so many gems he got a 20% bonus of more gems. How many gems did he end up with?
Reasoning and answer: Adding Harry's $200 to the initial value, the bid is at 300 + 200 = $500. The second bidder doubles the previous value, reaching a value of 500 * 2 = $1000. The third bidder adds three times the value of Harry's, then adds 500 * 3 = $1500. Adding the $1500 to the value of the second bid, the bid is at 1500 + 1000 = $2500. With the final bid of $4000, Harry bids 4000 - 2500 = $1500 more than the third bidder.
The answer: 1500
What was the question?
Question: Harry participates in the auction of a classic painting. The auction starts at $300, Harry is the first to bid, adding $200 to the starting value, a second bidder doubles the bid, and a third bidder adds three times Harry's bid. Finally, Harry bids $4,000. By how much did Harry's final bid exceed that of the third bidder?
The profit made for each large poster is $10 - $5 = $5. Each day Laran earns $5 * 2 = $10 from selling large posters. The profit made for each small poster is $6 - $3 = $3. Each day Laran earns $3 * 3 = $9 from selling small posters. Laran makes a total profit of $10 + $9 = $19 per day. For a 5 day school week, Laran makes a profit of 5 * $19 = $95.
The answer: 95
Reverse engineering the question: Laran has started a poster business. She is selling 5 posters per day at school. Two posters per day are her large posters that sell for $10. The large posters cost her $5 to make. The remaining posters are small posters that sell for $6. They cost $3 to produce. How much profit, in dollars, does Laran make per 5-day school week?
The amount of discount in the first store 950 x 6 / 100 = $57. So, the device costs 950 - 57 = $893 in the first store. The amount of discount in the second store is 920 x 5 / 100 = $46. So, the device costs 920 - 46 = $874 in the second store. The difference in price is 893 - 874 = $19.
The answer: 19
Reverse engineering the question:
Sara is checking out two different stores to buy a computer. The first store offers a device for $950 with a 6% discount. The second sells the same computer for 920 with a 5% discount. What is the difference in price between the two stores?
