There were 10 * 20 = 200 more bee - eaters at the zoo. There were 1 / 2 * 100 = 50 cheetahs. The total number of foxes and leopards is 80 + 20 = 100. There were 2 * 100 = 200 alligators. The total number of animals is 200 alligators + 220 bee - eaters + 100 snakes + 80 tactic foxes + 20 leopards + 50 cheetahs = 670 animals.
The answer: 670
Reverse engineering the question: Brinley's teacher took the grade six students to the San Diego Zoo to watch and learn about animals. While at the zoo, Brinley counted 100 snakes, 80 arctic foxes, and 20 leopards. She also saw ten times more bee-eaters than leopards, half as many cheetahs as snakes, and twice as many alligators as the total number of Arctic foxes and leopards. What's the total number of animals Brinley counted at the zoo?
Reasoning and answer: First find how many tickets she needs for the roller coaster: 5 tickets / ride * 7 rides = 35 tickets. Then find how many tickets she needs for the giant slide: 3 tickets / ride * 4 rides = 12 tickets. Then add the number of tickets she needs for each ride to find the total number of tickets she needs: 12 tickets + 35 tickets = 47 tickets.
The answer: 47

Question: Janet needs 5 tickets to ride the roller coaster and 3 tickets to ride the giant slide. How many tickets does she need to ride the roller coaster 7 times and the giant slide 4 times?
Twice as many chocolates as she ate the first day is 2 * 4 = 8 chocolates. And three less than twice as many chocolates as she ate the first day is 8 - 3 = 5 chocolates. Two less than the number she ate on the first day is 4 - 2 = 2 chocolates. One less than she ate the third day is 2 - 1 = 1 chocolate. By the end of the fourth day, 4 + 5 + 2 + 1 = 12 chocolates had been eaten. Thus, on the fifth day, 24 - 12 = 12 chocolates remained uneaten.
The answer: 12
Reverse engineering the question: Hank gave his wife, Delphine, a box of 24 chocolates for Valentine's Day. On the first day, Delphine ate 4 chocolates. On the second day, she ate 3 less than twice as many chocolates as she ate the first day. On the third day, she ate two less than the number she ate on the first day. And on the fourth day, she ate one less than she ate the previous day. On the fifth day, how many chocolates remained uneaten?
Reasoning and answer: A barrel stores 20 * 2 + 3 = 43 gallons. So he can store 4 * 43 = 172 gallons.
The answer: 172

Question: James has barrels that he uses to store water. They store 3 gallons more than twice as much as a large cask. If he has 4 barrels and a cask stores 20 gallons, how much water can he store?
Reasoning and answer: The band played 5 + 7 = 12 songs in their first two sets. They have 30 - 12 = 18 songs left for the third set, fourth set and encore. Since they played 2 songs in the encore, they have 18 - 2 = 16 songs to play on the third and fourth sets. They will play 16 / 2 = 8 songs on average over the third and fourth sets.
The answer: 8
