If the first bus is 60% full, it has 60 / 100 * 150 = 90 passengers. The second bus is 70% full, meaning it has 70 / 100 * 150 = 105 passengers. The total number of people in the two buses is 105 + 90 = 195.
The answer: 195
Reverse engineering the question: Two buses leave a pick-up point station with 60% and 70% of capacity full, respectively. If the people in the buses are all employees of a company, and the buses have a capacity of 150, calculate the total number of the employees in the two buses combined?
Reasoning and answer: In 2015, Kendra's sales were 20 / 100 * $30000 = $6000 more than Laurel's. So, Kendra's total sales for 2015 was $30000 + $6000 = $36000. If Kendra made $8000 less in 2014 than Laurel, she made $30000 - $8000 = $22000 in that year. The total amount of money Kendra made in the two years is $22000 + $36000 = $58000.
The answer: 58000

Question: Kendra and Laurel have shops that sell different brands of shoe collections. In 2014, Kendra made $8000 less than Laurel made in sales. However, in 2015, Kendra made 20% more money than Laurel made in 2014. If Laurel earned $30000 in 2014, calculate Kendra's total earnings in the two years.
The points Roosevelt high school has for the second game are 30 / 2 = 15 points. The points Roosevelt high school has for the third game are 15 * 3 = 45 points. The total points Roosevelt high school has for the tournament are 30 + 15 + 45 + 50 = 140 points. The total points Greendale high school has for the tournament are 140 - 10 = 130 points.
The answer: 130
Reverse engineering the question: Roosevelt High school plays a basketball tournament with Greendale High school. Roosevelt high school scores 30 points in the first game, half as much in the second game, and triple as much as the second game in the third game. At the end of the tournament, Roosevelt high school receives 50 bonus points and Greendale high school has 10 points less than Roosevelt high school. How many points does Greendale high school have?
Reasoning and answer: When Lila watches the video at twice the normal speed, the video takes 100 / 2 = 50 hours. When she watches six such videos, the total number of video hours becomes 50 * 6 = 300 hours. Roger, her friend, watches 6 videos at the normal speed, which is 6 * 100 = 600 video hours. The total number of hours watched by the two is 600 + 300 = 900 hours.
The answer: 900
What was the question?
Question: A YouTube video is 100 hours long. Lila decides to watch it at two times the average speed. Roger, her friend, also watch the same video at the average speed. If they both watched six of the same videos, what's the total number of hours they watched?
If there were 1500 surfers on the first day, the total for the second day is 1500 surfers + 600 surfers = 2100 surfers. On the third day, the number of surfers was 2 / 5 * 1500 surfers = 600 surfers. The total number of surfers at the Festival in the three days was 1500 surfers + 2100 surfers + 600 surfers = 4200 surfers. The average number of surfers at the Beach Surf Festival for the three days is 4200 surfers / 3 days = 1400 surfers / day.
The answer: 1400
Reverse engineering the question: Surfers enjoy going to the Rip Curl Myrtle Beach Surf Festival. There were 1500 surfers at the Festival on the first day, 600 more surfers on the second day than the first day, and 2/5 as many surfers on the third day as the first day. What is the average number of surfers at the Festival for the three days?
First find the increase in rent by multiplying last year's rent by 30%: $1000 * .3 = $300. Then find the food cost increase by multiplying last year's costs by 50%: $200 * .5 = $100. Then find the new car insurance price by multiplying last year's price by 3: $100 * 3 = $300. Then subtract the cost of car insurance last year from this year's price to find the increase: $300 - $100 = $200. Now find how much Jessica's monthly expenses increased by adding the increases in each of the three costs: $300 + $100 + $200 = $600. Now multiply the increase per month by the number of months in a year to find the annual increase: $600 / month * 12 months / year = $7200 / year.
The answer: 7200
Reverse engineering the question:
