Reasoning and answer: Claire's age now is 20 - 2 = 18 years old. Being 6 years older than Claire, Jessica is 18 + 6 = 24 years old.
The answer: 24

Question: Jessica is six years older than Claire. In two years, Claire will be 20 years old. How old is Jessica now?
Nurse Missy has 12 * (1 / 3) = 4 special needs patients. She has 12 - 4 = 8 standard care patients. Special needs patients take 20% longer to serve, which means serving takes 1.2 * 5 = 6 minutes per patient. To serve dinner to all of her standard care patients, it will take 5 * 8 = 40 minutes. To serve dinner to all of her special needs patients, it will take 6 * 4 = 24 minutes. In total, it will take 40 + 24 = 64 minutes to serve dinner to all of her patients.
The answer: 64
Reverse engineering the question: Nurse Missy is attending to the needs of 12 patients in her hospital ward. Most of her patients require standard care, but one-third of her patients have special dietary requirements, which increases the serving time by 20%. At dinner time, she brings each patient their meal. It takes 5 minutes to serve each standard care patient. How long does it take, in minutes, for Missy to serve dinner to all of her patients?
Reasoning and answer: It took Leo 25 x 2 = 50 minutes to finish the second part of the assignment. Leo finished the first and second parts of the assignment in 25 + 50 = 75 minutes. He finished the entire assignment in 60 x 2 = 120 minutes. Therefore, it took Leo 120 - 75 = 45 minutes to finish the third part of the assignment.
The answer: 45
What was the question?
Question: Leo's assignment was divided into three parts. He finished the first part of his assignment in 25 minutes. It took him twice as long to finish the second part. If he was able to finish his assignment in 2 hours, how many minutes did Leo finish the third part of the assignment?
In total, there are 4 x 4 = 16 pizza pieces. Bill and Dale eat 2 x 4 x 50% = 4 pieces. Ann and Cate eat 2 x 4 x 75% = 6 pieces. The four of them eat 4 + 6 = 10 pieces. There are 16 - 10 = 6 pizza pieces uneaten.
The answer: 6
Reverse engineering the question: Ann, Bill, Cate, and Dale each buy personal pan pizzas cut into 4 pieces. If Bill and Dale eat 50% of their pizzas and Ann and Cate eat 75% of the pizzas, how many pizza pieces are left uneaten?
Reasoning and answer: Since Freyja is ten years old, Eli is 10 + 9 = 19 years old. Sarah's age is twice Eli's, then Sarah is 2 * 19 = 38 years old. Kaylin is five years younger than Sarah, then she is 38 - 5 = 33 years old.
The answer: 33
What was the question?
Question: Kaylin is five years younger than Sarah, who is twice as old as Eli, who is nine years older than Freyja. If Freyja is ten years old, how old is Kaylin?
Reasoning and answer: There are 74 - 14 = 60 apples left after Ricki removes some. Samson removes 14 * 2 = 28 apples. There are 60 - 28 = 32 apples left after Samson removes some.
The answer: 32
What was the question?
Question:
At the beginning of the day there were 74 apples in a basket. If Ricki removes 14 apples and Samson removes twice as many as Ricki. How many apples are left in the basket by the end of the day?
