The goats cost 3 * 400 = $1200. He buys 3 * 2 = 6 llamas. Each llama cost 400 * 1.5 = $600. So he spends 600 * 6 = $3600 on llamas. So the total cost was 1200 + 3600 = $4800.
The answer: 4800
Reverse engineering the question: Tim decides to get animals for his zoo. He buys 3 goats for $400 each. He gets twice as many llamas which cost 50% more each. How much did he spend?
Reasoning and answer: She is making 24 servings because 3 x 8 = 24. Each guest has 2 servings because 24 / 12 = 2. Each guest has 3 apples because 2 x 1.5 = 3.

Tina buys 3 12 - packs of soda, for 3 * 12 = 36 sodas. 6 people attend the party, so half of them is 6 / 2 = 3 people. Each of those people drinks 3 sodas, so they drink 3 * 3 = 9 sodas. Two people drink 4 sodas, which means they drink 2 * 4 = 8 sodas. With one person drinking 5, that brings the total drank to 5 + 9 + 8 = 22 sodas. As Tina started off with 36 sodas, that means there are 36 - 22 = 14 sodas left.
The answer: 14

Hammond's statues weighed 80 - 22 = 58 pounds after the discarded marble was carved off. Minus the first statue, the statues weighed 58 - 10 = 48 pounds. Minus the second statue, the statues weighed 48 - 18 = 30 pounds. The remaining two statues weighed the same amount, so each weighed 30 / 2 = 15 pounds.
The answer: 15
Reverse engineering the question: Hammond carves life-sized statues out of marble. His latest set of four statues started with an 80-pound block of marble. The first statue he carved weighed 10 pounds. The second statue weighed 18. The remaining two statues weighed the same amount. The marble he discarded after carving it off the statues weighed 22 pounds. How much did each of the remaining statues Hammond carved weigh?
Mr. Grey paid $26 / shirt x 3 shirts = $78 on polo shirts. He paid $83 / necklace x 2 necklaces = $166 on necklaces. So, he paid $78 + $166 + $90 = $334 for the gifts. After the rebate, the total cost of the gifts is now $334 - $12 = $322.
The answer: 322
