Reasoning and answer: Let x be the number of apples Kylie picked. Kayla picked (1 / 4)x apples. 200 = x + (1 / 4)x. 200 = (5 / 4)x. 200(4 / 5) = 160 = x apples. Kayla picked (1 / 4)(160) = 40 apples.
The answer: 40

Question: Kayla and Kylie picked 200 apples total. Kayla picked 1/4 of the apples that Kylie picked. How many apples did Kayla pick?
First find the total number of monthly commutes: 5 days / week * 4 weeks / month = 20 days / month. Then multiply the distance of the commute one way by the two ways: 21 miles * 2 = 42 miles. Then multiply the number of commutes by the number of miles per commute: 42 miles / commute * 20 commutes = 840 miles. Then divide the number of miles by the car's gas mileage: 840 miles / 30 miles / gallon = 28 gallons. Then multiply that number by the cost of each gallon to find the total cost: 28 gallons * $2.50 / gallon = $70. Then divide the total cost by the number of friends to find the cost per person: $70 / 5 people = $14 / person.
The answer: 14
Reverse engineering the question: Carson runs a carpool for five of his friends. The five of them cover all the gas expenses to compensate Carson for his time. Their total commute is 21 miles one way, gas costs $2.50/gallon, Carson's car gets 30 miles/gallon, and they commute to work 5 days a week, 4 weeks a month. How much does each person pay toward gas monthly?

The mechanic worked 8 * 14 = 112 hours. So the labor cost 60 * 112 = $6720. That means the total cost was 6720 + 2500 = $9220.
The answer: 9220
Reverse engineering the question: A mechanic charges $60 an hour to repair a car. He works 8 hours a day for 14 days on one car. The mechanic also used $2500 in parts. How much did the car's owner have to pay?
Reasoning and answer: Jamie and Oliver will spend $24 x 2 = $48 for the plane ticket. They will spend $12 x 2 = $24 for staying in the hotel per day. So, the total amount they will spend on the hotel for a 3 - day stay is $24 x 3 = $72. Therefore, the total amount they will spend on their vacation is $72 + $48 = $120.
The answer: 120

Reasoning and answer: The park is 2,000,000 square feet because 1000 * 2000 = 2,000,000. Thus, there are 100,000 trees in the park because 2,000,000 / 20 = 100,000.
The answer: 100000

Question:
A park is 1000 feet long and 2000 feet wide. If there is 1 tree per 20 square feet, how many trees are there in the park?
