Reasoning and answer: There are 6 - 2 = 4 apples. There are 3 * 4 = 12 bananas. There is 1 / 2 x 12 bananas = 6 peaches. There is 6 oranges + 4 apples + 12 bananas + 6 peaches = 28 pieces of fruit.
The answer: 28
What was the question?
Question: There are six oranges in a fruit basket. There are two fewer apples than oranges. There are 3 times as many bananas as apples, and there are half as many peaches as bananas. How many pieces of fruit are in the fruit basket?
Now there are twice as many dogs as cats, and if the number of cats is 20, there are 2 * 20 = 40 dogs. Before twenty new ones were born, the number of dogs in the neighborhood originally was 40 - 20 = 20. If the number of dogs in the neighborhood was originally half the number of cats in the neighborhood, there were 20 * 2 = 40 cats in the neighborhood.
The answer: 40
Reverse engineering the question: If the number of dogs in the neighborhood was originally half the number of cats in the neighborhood before twenty new dogs were born, and now there are twice as many dogs as cats, how many cats were in the neighborhood, to begin with, if there are 20 cats now?
Reasoning and answer: The chicken lost 23 * 2 = 46 feathers on its second road crossing. Thus, it had 5263 - 46 = 5217 feathers after crossing the road twice.
The answer: 5217
What was the question?
Question: The chicken crossed the road to get to the other side twice for the thrill of it. The first time, it had to dodge 23 speeding cars. The second time, a person tried to catch it and accidentally pulled out twice as many feathers as the number of cars the chicken had dodged. The chicken had 5263 feathers before its thrill-seeking road crossings. How many feathers did it have afterward?
If the car traveled from Ningi to Zipra in 80% of the time it traveled from Ngapara to Zipra, it took 80 / 100 * 60 = 48 hours to travel from Ningi to Zipra. The total travel time that day is 48 + 60 = 108 hours.
The answer: 108
Reverse engineering the question: On a particular day, a car traveled from Ningi to Zipra in 80% of the time it traveled from Ngapara to Zipra. If the car took 60 hours to travel from Ngapara to Zipra, calculate the total time the car traveled that day.
Reasoning and answer: Stephanie has paid three - quarters of her gas bill, which is 40 * 0.75 = $30. She then made another payment, which means she has paid 30 + 5 = $35 of her gas bill. She has paid half of her water bill, which is 40 * 0.5 = $20. She has made 4 payments towards her internet bill, which is a total of 4 * 5 = $20. Overall, her bills were 60 + 40 + 40 + 25 = $165. Overall, she has made payments of 60 + 35 + 20 + 20 = $135. Therefore, she still has to pay 165 135 = $30.
The answer: 30

Question: Stephanie is checking her household budget, and needs to calculate how much she has left to pay for her bills. Her electricity bill costs $60, and this is paid in full. Her gas bill was $40, and she has already paid three-quarters of this. She makes another payment of $5 towards her gas bill while checking her budget. Her water bill is $40, which she has paid half of, and her internet bill is $25, which she has made 4 payments of $5 towards. Overall, how many dollars does Stephanie still need to pay to finish paying her bills?
Reasoning and answer: Five pounds of beef cost $3 x 5 = $15. So Lyra spent a total of $12 + $15 = $27. Therefore, $80 - $27 = $53 is left on her weekly budget.
The answer: 53
What was the question?
Question:
