Reasoning and answer: For babysitting, Jolene raises 4 x $30 = $120. For car washing, she raises 5 x $12 = $60. So far, she has raised $120 + $60 = $180.
The answer: 180

The first athlete jumped a total of 63 feet because 26 + 30 + 7 = 63. The second athlete jumped a total of 66 feet because 24 + 34 + 8 = 66. The first athlete jumped 21 feet on average because 63 / 3 = 21. The second athlete jumped 22 feet on average because 66 / 3 = 22. The average jump of the winner was 22 feet because 22 > 21.
The answer: 22
Reverse engineering the question: Two athletes decided to compete to see who had the best jumping ability. They were each going to do the long jump, triple jump, and high jump to see who had the highest average jump. The first athlete jumped 26 feet in the long jump, 30 feet in the triple jump, and 7 feet in the high jump. The second athlete jumped 24 feet in the long jump, 34 feet in the triple jump, and 8 feet in the high jump. What was the average jump of the winner?
Reasoning and answer: He increased his back squat to 200 + 50 = 250 kg. That means his front squat is 250 * .8 = 200 kg. So he can do a triple with 200 * .9 = 180 kg. So he moves 180 * 3 = 540 kg if he does three triples.
The answer: 540

Question: John can front squat 80% as much as he back squats. He used to back squat 200 kg but increased that by 50 kg. He can do a triple equal to 90% of the amount he front squats. How much weight will he move if he does three triples?
Mark is 15 years + 7 years = 22 years old. In 5 years, he will be 22 years + 5 years = 27 years old.
The answer: 27
Reverse engineering the question: Mark is 7 years older than Amy, who is 15. How old will Mark be in 5 years?
Reasoning and answer: Hillary needs to read for 1 hour which equals 60 minutes. Hillary has read for a total of 16 minutes + 28 = 44 minutes so far. Hillary will need to read for 60 minutes - 44 = 16 minutes on Sunday.
The answer: 16

Question: Hillary's teacher assigned 1 hour of reading during the weekend. On Friday night, Hillary read for 16 minutes. On Saturday she read for 28 minutes. How many minutes does Hillary have to read on Sunday to complete the assignment?
Reasoning and answer: If David has 15 shells, then Mia has 4 * 15 = 60 shells. Ava has 20 more shells than Mia, so that is 60 + 20 = 80 shells. Alice has 1 / 2 the number of shells Ava has, which is 1 / 2 * 80 = 40 shells. The total number of shells all of them have is 15 + 60 + 80 + 40 = 195 shells.
The answer: 195

Question:
Mia has 4 times as many shells as David. Ava has 20 more shells than Mia. Alice has half the number of shells Ava has. If David has 15 shells, what the total number of conch shells they all have?
