Reasoning and answer: Conor can chop 12 x 4 = 48 eggplants a week. He can chop 9 x 4 = 36 carrots a week. He can chop 8 x 4 = 32 potatoes a week. Therefore, Conor can chop 48 + 36 + 32 = 116 vegetables a week.
The answer: 116

Question: Conor can chop 12 eggplants, 9 carrots, and 8 potatoes in a day. If he works 4 times a week, how many vegetables can he chop?
Max gets 1 + 2 = 3 trains per year. He repeats this for 5 years, meaning he gets 5 * 3 = 15 trains. When this number is doubled by his parents, it becomes 15 * 2 = 30 trains. Since he already had 15 model trains, his total becomes 15 + 30 = 45 trains.
The answer: 45
Reverse engineering the question: Max likes to collect model trains. He asks for one for every birthday of his, and asks for two each Christmas. Max always gets the gifts he asks for, and asks for these same gifts every year for 5 years. At the end of the 5 years, his parents give him double the number of trains he already has. How many trains does Max have now?
Reasoning and answer: A baker has a total of 10 + 15 = 25 cheesecakes both from the display and the fridge. Therefore, there are 25 - 7 = 18 more cheesecakes to be sold.
The answer: 18

Question: A baker has 10 cheesecakes on the display while 15 more are still in the fridge. If the baker has sold 7 cheesecakes from the display, how many more cheesecakes are left to be sold?
Let x be the number of animals in the Rain Forest exhibit. 3x - 5 = 16. 3x = 21. x = 7.
The answer: 7
Reverse engineering the question: The Reptile House at the zoo has 5 fewer animals than 3 times the number of animals housed in the Rain Forest exhibit. If the Reptile House has 16 animals, how many are in the Rain Forest exhibit?
Reasoning and answer: If Phil had won 3 games more than did Charlie, and Phil won 12 games, then Charlie won 12 - 3 = 9 games. If Charlie had won 2 games fewer than Dana, and Charlie won 9 games, then Dana won 9 + 2 = 11 games. If Perry had won five more games than did Dana, and Dana won 11 games, then Perry won 11 + 5 = 16 games. Thus, Perry won 16 - 12 = 4 more games than did Phil.
The answer: 4
What was the question?
Question: Perry, Dana, Charlie, and Phil played golf together every week. At the end of the season, Perry had won five more games than Dana, but Charlie had won 2 games fewer than Dana. Phil had won 3 games more than Charlie did. If Phil won a total of 12 games, how many more games did Perry win than did Phil?
