Lizzy: Alison has half as much money as Brittany. Brittany has 4 times as much money as Brooke. Brooke has twice as much money as Kent. If Kent has $1,000, how much money does Alison have?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
Brooke has 2 * 1,000 = 2,000 dollars. Brittany has 4 * 2,000 = 8,000 dollars. Alison has 8,000 / 2 = 4,000 dollars. Final answer: 4000.
