He makes 6 * 12 = 72 cookies. Each cookie makes a profit of $1.5 - $0.25 = $1.25. So he makes a profit of 72 * $1.25 = $90. That means each charity gets $90 / 2 = $45.
The answer: 45
Reverse engineering the question: John makes 6 dozen cookies for a bake sale. He sells each cookie for $1.5 and each cookie costs $0.25 to make. He splits the profit between two charities evenly. How much does each charity get?
Reasoning and answer: His $20 bills amount to 4 x $20 = $80. So the total amount of the $10 and $20 bills is $80 + $50 = $130. Hence, the remaining $5 bills amount to $150 - $130 = $20. This means that there are $20 / $5 = 4 $5 bills. There are also $50 / $10 = 5 $10 bills. Therefore, Samuel has 4 + 4 + 5 = 13 bills in his wallet.
The answer: 13
What was the question?
Question: Samuel has $5, $10, and $20 bills which amount to $150 in his wallet. His $10-bills amount to $50, and he has 4 $20-bills. How many bills does Samuel have in his wallet?
First find the total number of stars she saw in the west: 120 stars * 6 = 720 stars. Then add the number she saw in the east to find the total number: 720 stars + 120 stars = 840 stars.
The answer: 840
Reverse engineering the question: Tilly counts 120 stars to the east of her house and six times that number to the west. How many stars does she count total?
Reasoning and answer: Grover will earn $0.50 x 20 = $10 for each box. So, he will earn $10 x 3 = $30 after selling all the face masks. Therefore, his total profit will be $30 - $15 = $15.
The answer: 15
What was the question?
Question: Grover bought 3 boxes of face masks. He plans to sell them for $0.50 each. If each box has 20 face masks, and he bought the 3 boxes for $15, how much will be his total profit?
Albert has to run 11 laps in total because 99 / 9 = 11. He has 5 more complete laps to run because 11 - 6 = 5.
The answer: 5
Reverse engineering the question: Albert has to run 99 meters in gym class. The track is 9 meters around. He has already run 6 times around it. Once he finishes, how many more complete laps will he have made around the track?
Borris uses 90 x 2 = 180 kilograms of grapes per year. The increase of kilograms of grapes he needed per year is 180 x 0.20 = 36. Therefore, Borris needs 180 + 36 = 216 kilograms of grapes in a year.
The answer: 216
Reverse engineering the question:
Borris liquor store uses 90 kilograms of grapes every 6 months. He is thinking of increasing his production by twenty percent. How many grapes does he need in a year after increasing his production?
