Reasoning and answer: Each of her aunts and uncles have a family unit of 1 son + 1 daughter + 1 aunt / uncle = 3 people. Iris has a total of 3 uncles + 4 aunts = 7 aunts or uncles in these family units. So among her aunts, uncles, and cousins, there will be 7 family units * 3 people in each family unit = 21 people. Including her mother and brother, there will be a total of 21 people + 1 mother + 1 brother = 23 people coming to her party.
The answer: 23

Question: Iris' family is planning a surprise birthday party for her. The party will include her 3 uncles and 4 aunts who have a son and daughter each as well as her brother and mother. In total, how many people are coming to Iris' birthday party?
Quincy drew 20 + 8 = 28 pictures. Quincy and Peter drew 28 + 8 = 36 pictures in total. Randy drew 41 - 36 = 5 pictures.
The answer: 5
Reverse engineering the question: Randy, Peter, and Quincy all drew pictures. Peter drew 8 pictures. Quincy drew 20 more pictures than Peter. If they drew 41 pictures altogether, how many did Randy draw?
Reasoning and answer: If Chloe bought it for $50 per dozen, then half a dozen cost her $50 / 2 = $25. This means that she has $30 - $25 = $5 profit per half a dozen of chocolate - dipped strawberries. If Chloe sold 50 dozens, then she was able to sell 50 / 1 / 2 = 100 half a dozen chocolate - dipped strawberries. Hence, her profit is $5 x 100 = $500.
The answer: 500

Question: Chloe bought chocolate-dipped strawberries at $50 a dozen. She then sold them for $30 for half a dozen during the Mother's Day celebration. How much is Chloe's profit if she sold 50 dozens?
First, we need to determine how many cell phones each machine makes per minute. We do this by performing 10 / 2 = 5 cell phones each minute per machine. Next, we determine how many machines are needed in total by dividing the desired outcome of 50 by the rate of production of an individual machine, finding 50 / 5 = 10 machines needed.
The answer: 10
Reverse engineering the question: If 2 machines in a factory make 10 cell phones each minute, how many machines would it take to make 50 cell phones a minute?
Reasoning and answer: An adult panda will eat 138 pounds of bamboo * 7 days = 966 pounds. A baby panda will eat 50 pounds * 7 days = 350 pounds. Total the pandas will eat 966 pounds + 350 = 1316 pounds of bamboo.
The answer: 1316

Question: An adult panda can eat 138 pounds of bamboo each day. A baby panda can eat 50 pounds of bamboo a day. How many pounds of bamboo will the pandas eat in a week?
Reasoning and answer: Susie earned $10 x 3 = $30 per day. Last week, she earned a total of $30 x 7 = $210. She spent $210 x 3 / 10 = $63 on make - up. While she spent $210 x 2 / 5 = $84 on her skincare products. Thus, she spent a total of $63 + $84 = $147 from her earnings. Therefore, Susie is left with $210 - $147 = $63 from her earnings last week.
The answer: 63

Question:
Susie babysits every day for 3 hours a day at the rate of $10 per hour. She spent 3/10 of the money she earned from last week to buy a make-up set. She then spent 2/5 of her money on her skincare products. How much is left from her earnings last week, in dollars?
