Reasoning and answer: Two kilograms of pasta cost $1.5 x 2 = $3. One - fourth kilogram of ground beef cost $8 x 1 / 4 = $2. Two jars of pasta sauce cost $2 x 2 = $4. The total cost for the pasta, beef, and sauce is $3 + $2 + $4 = $9. Since Mica also wants to buy Quesadilla, she should have $9 + $6 = $15.
The answer: 15

The race is 5.25 miles long because 7 x .75 = 5.25. They ran a mile in 8 minutes because 42 / 5.25 = 8. Last year's winner ran a mile in 9 minutes because 47.25 / 5.25 = 9. They ran 1 minute faster per mile compared to last year's winner.
The answer: 1
Reverse engineering the question: The town is having a race to see who can run around the town square 7 times the fastest. The town square is 3/4 of a mile long. The winner finishes the race in 42 minutes. Last year's winner finished in 47.25 minutes. How many minutes on average faster did this year's winner run one mile of the race compared to last year?
Reasoning and answer: Three dozens of macarons are equal to 3 x 12 = 36 pieces of macarons. So Emma has a total of 36 + 10 = 46 pieces of macarons for the party. Therefore, 46 - 15 = 31 pieces of macarons were eaten.
The answer: 31

Question: Emma bought 3 dozens of macarons in addition to her 10 pieces of macarons for a party. If 15 pieces of macarons are left over, how many pieces of macarons were eaten?
First find the number of quarts the hot tub holds by multiplying the number of gallons it holds by 4: 40 gallons * 4 quarts / gallon = 160 quarts. Then multiply the number of quarts of champagne Jackson buy by the normal price per bottle to find the cost before the discount: 160 quarts * $50 / quart = $8000. Then multiply that number by 20% to find the amount of the discount: $8000 * .2 = $1600. Finally, subtract the discount from the total cost to find the final amount Jackson pays: $8000 - $1600 = $6400.
The answer: 6400
Reverse engineering the question: Jackson wants to impress his girlfriend by filling her hot tub with champagne. The hot tub holds 40 gallons of liquid. Each bottle of champagne holds 1 quart. (There are 4 quarts per gallon). If each bottle of champagne costs $50, but Jackson gets a 20% volume discount, how much does he spend on champagne?
Reasoning and answer: Each student got 62 + 43 = 105 pens to start with. They pooled them to get 105 * 3 = 315 pens in the pool. They took 37 pens in the first month, leaving 315 - 37 = 278 pens in the pool. They took 41 pens in the second month, leaving 278 - 41 = 237 pens in the pool. 237 pens were split into three equal parts to give 237 / 3 = 79 pens each.
The answer: 79

Question: Jane bought pens for her three students. Each student received 62 red pens and 43 black pens. They pooled their pens together and took them from the pool whenever they needed them. After the first month, they had taken a total of 37 pens from the pool. After the second month, they had taken another 41 pens from the pool. Then Jane decided to split the remaining pens equally among them. How many pens will each student get now?
Reasoning and answer: We have 2 kg = 2 * 1000 = 2000 g. So, the number of bars of chocolate is 2000 / 125 = 16.
