Reasoning and answer: Aaron used 10 scarves * 3 balls of wool = 30 balls of wool to make his scarves. He also used 5 sweaters * 4 balls of wool = 20 balls of wool to make his sweaters. Enid used 8 sweaters * 4 balls of wool = 32 balls of wool to make her sweaters. So in total, Aaron used 30 + 20 + 32 = 82 balls of wool.
The answer: 82
What was the question?

Let C be the number of posters Cassidy has now. After this summer, she will have twice as many posters as when she had 14, so she will have C + 6 = 2 * 14 = 28 posters. Thus, Cassidy has C = 28 - 6 = 22 posters now.
The answer: 22
Reverse engineering the question: Cassidy collects movie posters from newly released sci-fi movies. After this summer, she will have six more posters in her collection, making it double the size it was two years ago when she had 14 posters. How many posters does she have now?
Reasoning and answer: The primer is $30.00 with 20% off so that's 30 * .20 = $6.00 off. The primer is $30.00 and the discount is for $6.00 off so the sale price is 30 - 6 = $24.00 per gallon. Blake needs 5 gallons of primer that is $24.00 a gallon so that's 5 * 24 = $120.00. He needs 5 gallons of paint that cost $25.00 a gallon so that's 5 * 25 = $125.00. The primer is $120.00 and the paint is $125.00 so all total, he will spend 120 + 125 = $245.00 on paint and primer.
The answer: 245
What was the question?
Question: Blake needs to prime and paint 5 rooms in his house. Each room will require a gallon of primer and a gallon of paint. Currently the primer is $30.00 a gallon and they are offering 20% off. The paint costs $25.00 a gallon and is not on sale. How much will he spend on paint and primer?
Since, three years from now, Tabitha will have 8 different colors in her hair, this year she has 8 - 3 = 5 colors in her hair. Since she had 2 colors in her hair at the age of 15, she has added 5 - 2 = 3 colors since she was 15 years old. Since she ads one color per year, 3 added colors = 3 added years. Thus, currently, she is 15 + 3 = 18 years old.
The answer: 18
Reverse engineering the question: Every year, Tabitha adds a new color to her hair. She started this tradition when she was 15 years old, which was the year she added her second hair color. In three years, Tabitha will have 8 different colors in the hair. Currently, how old is Tabitha?
