Reasoning and answer: On Monday the total number of miles Alice walks to and from school is 10 + 12 = 22 miles. For the other 4 days, from Tuesday to Friday, she walks an additional 4 * 22 = 88 miles. The total number of miles she will have walked by Friday 22 + 88 = 110 miles.
The answer: 110

Question: Every Monday to Friday morning, Alice walks 10 miles through a large grass field to get to school. To avoid the hot afternoon sun on her way home, she walks 12 miles through a forest. When she gets home on Friday, how many miles will she have walked that week?
Jimmy's shorts cost 3 x $15 = $45. Irene's shirts cost 5 x $17 = $85. Total cost for the clothes is $45 + $85 = $130. 10% discount on the clothes is $130 x 10% = $13. They give the cashier $130 - $13 = $117.
The answer: 117
Reverse engineering the question: Jimmy and Irene go shopping for clothes on a Tuesday, where senior citizens get a 10% discount on their purchases. Jimmy picks out 3 shorts from the $15 rack. Irene grabs 5 shirts from the $17 rack. How much money do they give to the cashier?
Reasoning and answer: For the first year, Joseph will have invested $1000 + ($100 * 12) = $2200. The interest calculated for the first year will be $2200 * 10% = $220. The total value of the investment for the first year will be $2200 + $220 = $2420. For the second year, the total invested will be $2420 + ($100 * 12) = $3620. The interest calculated after the second year will be $3620 * 10% = $362. Therefore, Joseph's investment in the mutual fund will be worth $3620 + $362 = $3982.
The answer: 3982

During 30 days Adam picked 4 * 30 = 120 apples. So in total with all the remaining apples, he picked 120 + 230 = 350 apples from his orchard.
The answer: 350
Reverse engineering the question: Adam has an orchard. Every day for 30 days he picks 4 apples from his orchard. After a month, Adam has collected all the remaining apples, which were 230. How many apples in total has Adam collected from his orchard?
Reasoning and answer: Three times more wrinkles than three eyes is 3 * 3 = 9 wrinkles. Seven times more spots than wrinkles is 7 * 9 = 63 spots. Therefore, the combined number of spots and wrinkles on the lizard is 63 + 9 = 72 spots and wrinkles. Thus, the lizard has 72 - 3 = 69 fewer eyes than spots and wrinkles.
The answer: 69
