The second show sold 200 * 3 = 600 tickets. So there were a total of 200 + 600 = 800 tickets sold. That means they made 800 * 25 = $20,000.
The answer: 20000
Reverse engineering the question: A show debut and 200 people buy tickets. For the second showing three times as many people show up. If each ticket cost $25 how much did the show make?
Reasoning and answer: First, figure out how many additional miles Jackson is running after four weeks: 4 weeks * 1 extra mile / week = 4 extra miles. Then add the 4 extra miles to the 3 miles he initially ran: 4 miles + 3 miles = 7 miles.
The answer: 7
What was the question?
Question: Jackson wants to improve his endurance running. His goal is to start by running 3 miles a day the first week, then spend the next four weeks running one additional mile/day each week. How many miles is Jackson running each day at the end of this exercise program?
One lesson lasts 1.5 hours, so 18 hours of them is 18 / 1.5 = 12 lessons. If one lesson costs $30, then 12 lessons cost 12 * 30 = $360.
The answer: 360
Reverse engineering the question: Micheal decided to take some piano lessons. One lesson costs $30 and lasts for 1.5 hours. How much will Micheal need to pay for 18 hours of lessons?
Reasoning and answer: The cost was 3 * 5 = $15. So he got 20 - 15 = $5 in change.
The answer: 5

Question: Jack orders 3 sandwiches that cost $5 each. He pays with a $20 bill. How much does he get in change?
Jorge has 60 * (1 / 3) = 20 acres of clay - rich soil. He has 60 - 20 = 40 acres of good soil. At 400 bushels per acre, his 40 acres of good soil produced 40 * 400 = 16,000 bushels of corn. If good soil produces 400 bushels per acre, clay - rich soil produces 400 / 2 = 200 bushels per acre. At 200 bushels per acre, his 20 acres of clay - rich soil produced 20 * 200 = 4,000 bushels of corn. Altogether, his land produced 16,000 + 4,000 = 20,000 bushels of corn.
The answer: 20000
Reverse engineering the question: Last year, Jorge planted corn on all of his 60 acres of property. Typically, corn grown on good soil yields 400 bushels per acre, but in clay-rich soil, the yield is only half as much per acre as in good soil. One-third of Jorge's 60 acres of land is clay-rich soil and the rest is good soil. How many bushels of corn did Jorge's land yield last year?
American Summits donated 45 x 2 = 90 bottled waters. Hormel donated 45 x 3 = 135 spams. Boudin Bakery donated 135 x 1 / 3 = 45 sourdoughs. Del Monte Foods donated 90 - 30 = 60 canned fruits. Therefore, a total of 45 + 90 + 135 + 45 + 60 = 375 different food.
The answer: 375
Reverse engineering the question:
Five food companies sponsored a local food bank. Foster Farms donated 45 dressed chickens; American Summits donated twice the number of bottled water than the number of dressed chicken donated by Foster Farms; Hormel donated three times the number of dressed chickens that Foster Farms donated; Boudin Butchers donated one-third of the number of dressed chickens that Hormel donated; Del Monte Foods donated 30 fewer bottles of water than American Summits. How many food items did the companies donate in total?
