He bought 10 * 6 = 60 pouches. It cost 12 * 100 = 1200 cents. So each pouch cost 1200 / 60 = 20 cents.
The answer: 20
Reverse engineering the question: James buys 10 boxes of Capri-sun. Each box has 6 pouches in it. If he paid $12 how many cents does each pouch cost?
Reasoning and answer: First find how many deer have 8 antlers: 920 deer * 10% = 92 deer. Then divide that number by 4 to find how many deer meet both criteria: 92 deer / 4 = 23 deer.
The answer: 23
What was the question?
Question: There are 920 deer in a park. 10% of the deer have 8 antlers, and a quarter of that number also have albino fur. How many albino 8-antlered deer are there?
In total, Rick is still owed 400 - 285 = $115. Derek owes half as much as Amy, so he owes $30 / 2 = $15. This means that Sally and Carl owe a combined total of $115 - $30 $15 = $70. As they owe equal amounts, they therefore owe $70 / 2 = $35 each.
The answer: 35
Reverse engineering the question: Rick held a fundraiser and is figuring out who still owes money. He marked on a sheet how much everyone has promised to contribute, but he forgot to note how much some people had actually paid. Altogether, everyone has promised to contribute $400, and Rick has actually received $285. Sally, Amy, Derek, and Carl all still owe money. Sally and Carl both owe equal amounts, Amy owes $30, and Derek owes half as much as Amy. How much, in dollars, do Sally and Carl each owe?
Reasoning and answer: First find the total time it takes Maryann to rescue one friend: 6 minutes + 8 minutes = 14 minutes. Then multiply the time to save one friend by the number of friends Maryann needs to save: 14 minutes / friend * 3 friends = 42 minutes.
The answer: 42
What was the question?
Question: Maryann can pick the lock on a cheap pair of handcuffs in 6 minutes and on an expensive pair of handcuffs in 8 minutes. If Maryann needs to rescue three of her friends who have expensive handcuffs on their hands and cheap handcuffs on their ankles, how long will it take for her to free all of them?
7 times the number of bats Randy has is 29 - 1 = 28. Randy has 28 / 7 = 4 bats.
The answer: 4
Reverse engineering the question: Randy has 1 more baseball glove than 7 times the number of bats he has. If he has 29 baseball gloves, how many bats does he have?
The walls take away 2 * 1 = 2 inches from each dimension. So the longer sides are 26 - 2 = 24 inches. That is 24 / 12 = 2 feet. The smaller dimension is 14 - 2 = 12 inches. That is 12 / 12 = 1 foot. So the internal volume is 2 * 2 * 1 = 4 cubic feet.
The answer: 4
Reverse engineering the question:
John builds a box. The box is 26 inches by 26 inches by 14 inches. The walls are 1 inch thick on each side. How much is the internal volume in cubic feet?
