There are 3 * 9 = 27 red flowers. 50 / 100 * 96 = 48 flowers are blue. Knowing that, there are 96 - 48 - 27 - 9 = 12 yellow flowers in a school's garden.
The answer: 12
Reverse engineering the question: In a school garden, there are flowers in different colors. In total there are 96 flowers of four colors: green, red, blue, and yellow. There are 9 green flowers and three times more red flowers. Blue flowers make up to 50% of the total flower count. How many yellow flowers are there?
Reasoning and answer: Beth is 5 + 9 = 14 now. Beth was 9 years old 14 - 9 = 5 years ago. Joey was 9 - 5 = 4.
The answer: 4
What was the question?
Question: In 5 years, Joey will be as old as Beth is now. If Joey is 9 now, how old was Joey when Beth was Joey's age now?
First we find how many cookies Betty will eat in a week by multiplying her daily amount by 7, meaning 7 * 3 = 21 cookies eaten in a week. We repeat this for the brownies, finding she eats 7 * 1 = 7 brownies in a week. We subtract the 21 cookies from the original amount of 60, finding 60 - 21 = 39 cookies remaining. We repeat this step for the brownies, finding 10 - 7 = 3 brownies remaining. In the end, therefore, Betty has 39 - 3 = 36 more cookies than brownies.
The answer: 36
Reverse engineering the question: Betty has a tray of cookies and a tray of brownies. She has a real sweet tooth and eats 3 cookies a day and 1 brownie a day. If she starts with 60 cookies and 10 brownies, how many more cookies than brownies does she have after a week of eating like this?
Reasoning and answer: First convert the ginger to teaspoons: 3 tablespoons * 3 teaspoons / tablespoon = 9 teaspoons. Then convert the garlic to teaspoons: 2 tablespoons * 3 teaspoons / tablespoon = 6 teaspoons. Then find how much chile powder there is: 1 teaspoon * 4 = 4 teaspoons. Then add up the amount of each spice to find the total amount: 9 teaspoons + 6 teaspoons + 4 teaspoons + 1 teaspoons + 1 teaspoon = 21 teaspoons. Then divide the amount of ginger by the total amount of spice paste and multiply by 100% to find the percentage of the spice paste that's ginger: 9 teaspoons / 21 teaspoons * 100% = 42.857, which rounds down to 43%.
The answer: 43
What was the question?
Question: Martha is grinding a spice paste. She adds 3 tablespoons of ginger, 1 teaspoon of cardamom, 1 teaspoon of mustard, 2 tablespoons of garlic, and four times as much chile powder as mustard. What percentage of the spice paste is ginger, rounded to the nearest integer? (Remember there are three teaspoons per tablespoon.)
On the first day, the library used 4 students * 5 books = 20 books. On the second day, the library used 5 students * 5 books = 25 books. On the third day, the library used 6 students * 5 books = 30 books. On the fourth day, the library had 120 books - 20 - 25 - 30 = 45 books remaining. The library can help 45 books / 5 books = 9 students on the fourth day.
The answer: 9
Reverse engineering the question: A school library has 120 books. Each student needs 5 books for their classes. The library was able to help 4 students on the first day of school, 5 students on the second day and 6 students on the third day. How many students can the library help out on the fourth day of school?
Tom served on Monday to 8 * 10 = 80 clients. So Tom earned 20 / 100 * 80 = 16 bonus points.
The answer: 16
Reverse engineering the question:
In a certain company, for every customer served, an employee gets as many bonus points, as 20% of the number of customers served. On Monday, Tom served 10 customers per hour for 8 hours. How many bonus points did Tom earn that day?
