Pauline planted in total 3 * 5 = 15 tomatoes. Pauline also planted 5 * 4 = 20 cucumbers. In total Pauline planted 15 + 20 + 30 = 65 different vegetables. The whole garden can be filled up with 10 * 15 = 150 different vegetables. So Pauline could plant 150 - 65 = 85 more vegetables in her garden.
The answer: 85
Reverse engineering the question: Pauline has a garden with vegetables. In it, Pauline has planted 3 kinds of tomatoes - 5 of each kind, 5 kinds of cucumbers - 4 of each kind, and 30 potatoes. In the whole garden, there are 10 rows with 15 spaces in each to plant any vegetable. How many more vegetables could Pauline plant in her garden?
Reasoning and answer: First find how many giraffe statues Nancy can make by dividing the total amount of jade by the amount used per giraffe statue: 1920 g / 120 g / giraffe = 16 giraffes. Then multiply that number by the price per giraffe to find how much Nancy earns total from giraffes: 16 giraffes * $150 / giraffe = $2400. Then find how much jade each elephant statue uses by doubling the jade used by the giraffe statues: 120 g / giraffe * 2 = 240 g / elephant. Then find how many elephant statues Nancy can make by dividing the total amount of jade by the amount used per elephant statue: 1920 g / 240 g / elephant = 8 elephant. Multiply that number by the price per elephant to find Nancy's total earnings from elephants: 8 elephants * $350 / elephant = $2800. Finally, subtract Nancy's total earnings from the giraffes from her total earnings from the elephants to find the difference: $2800 - $2400 = $400.
The answer: 400
What was the question?
Question: Nancy carves statues out of jade. A giraffe statue takes 120 grams of jade and sells for $150. An elephant statue takes twice as much jade and sells for $350. If Nancy has 1920 grams of jade, how much more money will she make turning it all into elephants instead of giraffes?
The cost of 15 cones of ice cream was 15 $5 = $75. The cost of the 5 cups of pudding was 5 $2 = $10. Jane spent $75 - $10 = $65 more on ice cream than on pudding.
The answer: 65
Reverse engineering the question: Jane purchased 15 ice cream cones and 5 cups of pudding. Each ice cream cone cost $5 and each cup of pudding cost $2. How much more did Jane spend on ice cream than on pudding, in dollars?
Reasoning and answer: Susie spends 2 * 60 = 120 minutes vacuuming. Since she can vacuum each room in 20 minutes, she has 120 / 20 = 6 rooms in her house.
The answer: 6
What was the question?
Question: There is a lot of dust in Susie's house. It takes her 2 hours to vacuum the whole house. She can vacuum each room in 20 minutes. How many rooms does she have in her house?
26 / 2 = 13 of the purses are genuine. 24 / 4 = 6 of the handbags are fake. 24 - 6 = 18 of the handbags are genuine. There are 13 + 18 = 31 genuine purses and handbags.
The answer: 31
Reverse engineering the question: Tirzah has a lot of purses and handbags; in total she has 26 purses and 24 handbags. Half the purses and 1/4 the handbags are fake. If the rest are authentic, how many purses and handbags in total are genuine?
The total number of pages is 180 + 100 = 280 pages. The number of pages Yasna needs to read every day for two weeks is 280 / 14 = 20 pages.
The answer: 20
Reverse engineering the question:
Yasna has two books. One book is 180 pages long, and the other book is 100 pages long. If Yasna wants to finish both of the books in two weeks, how many pages will Yasna need to read every day, if she reads an equal number of pages each day?
