Jessica is 26 + 6 = 32 years old. James is 32 + 7 = 39 years old. After 5 years, James will become 39 + 5 = 44 years old.
The answer: 44
Reverse engineering the question: Justin is 26 years old. When he was born his elder sister Jessica was 6 years old. James is their elder brother and is 7 years older than Jessica. How old will James be after 5 years?
Reasoning and answer: Teagan saved 1 cent (.01) x 200 = $2. Rex has 5 cents (.05) x 100 = $5. Toni has 10 cents (.10) x 330 = $33. Together, the three kids saved $2 + $5 + $33 = $40.
The answer: 40
What was the question?
Question: Teagan saved 200 pennies in her piggy bank. Rex has a mason jar filled with 100 nickels. Toni has 330 dimes stashed inside a giant mug. How much money did the three kids save altogether?
He will use $250 in fuel because 5 x 50 = 250. He will be shark hunting for 300 minutes because 5 x 60 = 300. He can expect to see 30 sharks because 300 / 10 = 30. He will make $450 off these photos because 30 x 15 = 450. He will make $200 in profit because 450 - 250 = 200.
The answer: 200
Reverse engineering the question: Pat is hunting for sharks to take photos. For every photo he takes he earns $15. He sees a shark about every 10 minutes. His boat fuel costs $50 an hour. If he shark hunts for 5 hours, how much money can he expect to make in profit?
Reasoning and answer: Let X be the number of students last year. The number of students this year is X + X * 20% = 960. Combining like terms, we get X * 1.2 = 960. Dividing both sides by 1.2, we get X = 800 students.
The answer: 800
What was the question?
Question: In my school, the number of students has increased by 20% this year. The number of students this year is 960. How many students were there last year?
The 12 cans of Spam costs $3 x 12 = $36. The total amount of 3 jars of peanut butter is $5 x 3 = $15. And the total amount of the 4 loaves of bread is $2 x 4 = $8. Therefore the total amount he will have to pay is $36 + $15 + $8 = $59.
The answer: 59
Reverse engineering the question: Granger went to the grocery store. He saw that the Spam is $3 per can, the peanut butter is $5 per jar, and the bread is $2 per loaf. If he bought 12 cans of spam, 3 jars of peanut butter, and 4 loaves of bread, how much is the total amount he paid?
