He sells each tire for 250 * 1.5 = $375. That means he makes a profit of 375 - 250 = $125 per tire. His production is 1200 - 1000 = 200 short. So he loses out on 125 * 200 = $25,000 a day. So he loses out on 25000 * 7 = $175,000 a week.
The answer: 175000
Reverse engineering the question: John can produce 1000 tires a day. It cost $250 to produce each tire. He manages to sell them for 1.5 times as much. He could sell 1200 tires a day if his factory was able to produce more. How much money does he lose out a week by not being able to produce all the tires?
Reasoning and answer: Frank sold 4 hamburgers and then sold 2 more, so all together Frank already sold 4 + 2 = 6 hamburgers. If each hamburger is $5 and he sold 6 hamburgers already, Frank has made 5 * 6 = 30 dollars. Frank wants to make $50 and has already made $30, so Frank still needs 50 - 30 = 20 dollars. Since he needs $20 and each hamburger is $5, Frank needs to sell 20 / 5 = 4 more hamburgers.
The answer: 4
What was the question?
Question: Frank is making hamburgers and he wants to sell them to make $50. Frank is selling each hamburger for $5 and 2 people purchased 4 and another 2 customers purchased 2 hamburgers. How many more hamburgers does Frank need to sell to make $50?
A sixth of the books is 9900 / 6 = 1650 books. Only 4 * 1650 = 6600 books are left. The library sold 9900 - 6600 = 3300 books over the summer.
The answer: 3300
Reverse engineering the question: The library has 9,900 books. Over the summer, they sold some books. If only four sixths of the books are left, how many did they sell?
Reasoning and answer: If John is 30 and twice as old as Maya then Maya is 30 / 2 = 15 years old. Drew is 5 years older than Maya so Drew is 15 + 5 = 20 years old. Peter is 4 years older than Drew so is 20 + 4 = 24 years old. In 2 years, Peter will be 24 + 2 = 26 years old. Half of Peter's age in 2 years will be 26 / 2 = 13 years old and Jacob's age in 2 years. Jacob now is 13 - 2 = 11 years old.
The answer: 11
What was the question?
Question: Drew is 5 years older than Maya. Peter is 4 years older than Drew. John is 30 and is twice as old as Maya. In 2 years, Jacob will be exactly half of Peter's age. How old is Jacob now?
In 20 minutes, she happy tweets for 20 * 18 = 360 times. In 20 minutes, she hungry - tweets for 20 * 4 = 80 times. In 20 minutes, she tweets at her reflection 20 * 45 = 900 times. Altogether, she tweets 360 + 80 + 900 = 1340 times.
The answer: 1340
Reverse engineering the question: Polly the parakeet tweets all day long. When she is happy, she tweets 18 times per minute. When she is hungry, she tweets 4 times per minute. And when she watches herself in the mirror, she tweets 45 times per minute. During a time period where she is happy for 20 minutes, hungry for 20 minutes, and watches her reflection for 20 minutes, what is the total number of times she will tweet?
If Emily has 20 credits, and Aria has 2 times as many, then Aria has 2 * 20 = 40 high school credits. Emily has twice the number of high school credits Spencer has, meaning Spencer has 20 / 2 = 10 high school credits. Altogether, the three have 40 + 20 + 10 = 70 high school credits. Twice the total number of high school credits the three have is 2 * 70 = 140.
The answer: 140
Reverse engineering the question:
Aria has twice as many high school credits as Emily, who has twice the number of high school credits as Spencer. If Emily has 20 credits, what's twice the total number of high school credits the three have?
