Reasoning and answer: First find the percentage of candidates who are willing to work nights: 100% - 70% = 30%. Then multiply that percentage by the percentage who know Excel to find the percentage who meet both qualifications: 30% * 20% = 6%.
The answer: 6

There are 300 / 2 = 150 units for offices and restaurants. There are 150 / 2 = 75 restaurants in the building.
The answer: 75
Reverse engineering the question: A building has 300 units. Half the units are residential and the other half are split evenly between offices and restaurants. How many restaurants are there in the building?
Reasoning and answer: If he gathers for 2 hours, the number of minutes gathering is 2 * 60 minutes per hour = 120 minutes of gathering flowers. Gathering for 120 minutes / 10 minutes per flower = 12 flowers gathered. If he gathers 12 flowers initially but lost 3, he has 12 - 3 = 9 flowers gathered and kept. Since he has 30 classmates total and has 9 flowers, he needs to gather 30 - 9 = 21 more flowers. Assuming it takes 10 minutes per flower, it will take him 10 * 21 = 210 minutes to gather the remaining 21 flowers needed.
The answer: 210

In coach Tim's team, 5 out of 11 players did not receive any caution, so 11 - 5 = 6 players were cautioned. Each cautioned player received a yellow card, so all the cautioned players received 6 * 1 = 6 yellow cards. Knowing that each red card corresponds to 2 yellow cards, the team would have 6 / 2 = 3 red cards.
The answer: 3
Reverse engineering the question: In soccer, players receive yellow cards when they are cautioned and red cards when they are sent off. Coach Tim has a team of 11 players, 5 of them didn't receive cautions, the rest received one yellow card each. How many red cards would the whole team collect, knowing that each red card corresponds to 2 yellow cards?
Reasoning and answer: If Bob goes along the side that's 120 feet long, he will till 110 / 2 = 55 rows. Each of these rows are 120 feet long, so he will push the tiller a total of 120 * 55 = 6,600 feet. He tills 1 linear foot of ground every 2 seconds, so it will take him 2 * 6,600 = 13,200 seconds to till this plot. 13,200 seconds is 13,2000 / 60 = 220 minutes.
The answer: 220

Question: Bob is tilling a plot of his garden. The plot is 110 feet wide by 120 feet long. His tiller digs a swath two feet wide, and he can till 1 foot of ground in about 2 seconds. How long will it take him to till this plot of land, in minutes?
Reasoning and answer: Bran's scholarship pays $90 x 0.30 = $27 to his tuition fee. So, the total amount he still needs to pay is $90 - $27 = $63. And Bran will be able to earn $15 x 3 = $45 after working for 3 months. Therefore, the total amount he still needs to pay is $63 - $45 = $18.
The answer: 18
