Annie spends 4 * 8 = 32 dollars on hamburgers. Annie spends 5 * 6 = 30 dollars on milkshakes. Annie spends 32 + 30 = 62 dollars on hamburgers and milkshakes. Annie had 62 + 70 = 132 dollars at first.
The answer: 132
Reverse engineering the question: Annie has some money. The restaurant next door sells hamburgers for $4 each. The restaurant across the street sells milkshakes for $5 each. Annie buys 8 hamburgers and 6 milkshakes. She has $70 left. How much money, in dollars, did Annie have at first?
Reasoning and answer: If Mary collected twice the number of red marbles collected by Jenny, she got 2 * 30 = 60 red marbles. Anie collected 20 more red marbles than Mary, which is 60 + 20 = 80 red marbles. The total number of red marbles is 60 + 80 + 30 = 170 red marbles. If Anie collected twice the number of blue marbles collected by Jenny, then she got 2 * 25 = 50 blue marbles. Mary collected half the number of blue marbles collected by Anie, thus 1 / 2 * 50 = 25 marbles. The total number of blue marbles collected is 50 + 25 + 25 = 100 blue marbles.
The answer: 100
What was the question?
Question: Mary and her two friends came up with the idea of collecting marbles each day for their play on weekends. From Monday to Friday, Mary collected twice as many red marbles as Jenny and half the number of blue marbles collected by Anie, who collected 20 more red marbles than Mary and twice the number of blue marbles Jenny collected. If Jenny collected 30 red marbles and 25 blue marbles, what's the total number of blue marbles collected by the friends together?
With two substitutions, 11 + 2 = 13 players from the team played the game in the first half. In the second half, the team made twice the number of substitutions it made in the first half, a total of 2 * 2 = 4 substitutions. The total number of players who played the game is 13 + 4 = 17. If the soccer team had 24 players prepared for the soccer game, the number of players who did not play the game is 24 - 17 = 7 players.
The answer: 7
Reverse engineering the question: A soccer team had 24 players prepared for a soccer game. The first half saw 11 players start the game with 2 substitutions made. In the second half, the team made twice as many substitutions as it made in the first half. How many players on the team did not play that day?
Reasoning and answer: She'll be on vacation for 40 days and drinks 3 cups of coffee / pods per day for a total of 40 * 3 = 120 coffee pods. Her coffee pods come 30 in a box and she needs 120 coffee pods so that's 120 / 30 = 4 boxes. Each box costs $8.00 and she needs 4 boxes so that's 8 * 4 = $32.00.
The answer: 32

Question: Sharon's vacation rental has a Keurig coffee machine. She will be there for 40 days. She has 3 cups of coffee (3 coffee pods) every morning. Her coffee pods come 30 pods to a box for $8.00. How much will she spend on coffee to last her for the entire vacation?
On the bus, the number of Dutch people was 3 / 5 of the total number, a total of 3 / 5 * 90 = 54 people. Out of the 54 people who were Dutch, 1 / 2 were Dutch Americans, a total of 1 / 2 * 54 = 27 people. If 1 / 3 of the passengers on the bus identifying as Dutch Americans sat at the windows, their number is 1 / 3 * 27 = 9.
The answer: 9
Reverse engineering the question: Of the 90 people on William's bus, 3/5 were Dutch. Of the 1/2 of the Dutch who were also American, 1/3 got window seats. What's the number of Dutch Americans who sat at the windows?
If there were 26 pink hard hats and Carl took away 4 pink hard hats, the number of pink hard hats that remained is 26 - 4 = 22. John also took away 6 pink hard hats, leaving 22 - 6 = 16 pink hard hats in the truck. If John also took twice as many green hard hats as pink hard hats, he took 2 * 6 = 12 green hard hats. The total number of green hard hats that remained in the truck is 15 - 12 = 3. In the truck, after some are taken, there were 3 green hard hats + 16 pink hard hats = 19 hard hats in the truck. Altogether, 19 green and pink hard hats + 24 yellow hards hats = 43 hard hats remained in the truck.
The answer: 43
Reverse engineering the question:
In a truck, there are 26 pink hard hats, 15 green hard hats, and 24 yellow hard hats. If Carl takes away 4 pink hard hats, and John takes away 6 pink hard hats and twice as many green hard hats as the number of pink hard hats that he removed, then calculate the total number of hard hats that remained in the truck.
