She will keep 1000000 / 2 = 500000 Safe Moon tokens for herself. For the remaining siblings, they will each receive 500000 / 4 = 125000 tokens. This means that Sandy will have 500000 - 125000 = 375000 tokens more than any of her siblings.
The answer: 375000
Reverse engineering the question: Sandy bought 1 million Safe Moon tokens. She has 4 siblings. She wants to keep half of them to herself and divide the remaining tokens among her siblings. After splitting it up, how many more tokens will she have than any of her siblings?

Reasoning and answer: If the bakery can make 12 pies, this means there would be 12 * 3 = 36 pie pieces. For all the pieces the bakery would make 36 * 4 = $144. The cost of making 12 pies is 12 * 0.5 = $6. That means the bakery would make 144 - 6 = $138.
The answer: 138
What was the question?
Question:
