Question: Mason, Noah and Jacob want to have an eating contest but can't agree on what food to eat. Mason wants hot dogs, Noah insists on burgers, and Jacob thinks they should eat pies. They finally agree that everyone can eat whatever they want and they'll use the weight of the food to determine who wins. A hot dog weighs 2 ounces, a burger weighs 5 ounces, and a pie weighs 10 ounces. Jacob eats three fewer pies than Noah eats burgers. Mason eats 3 times as many hotdogs as the number of pies consumed by Jacob. If Noah ate 8 burgers, what is the total weight of the hotdogs that Mason ate?
Her cousin brought over 20 / 5 = 4 pairs of socks. Three times more than Lisa bought was 12 * 3 = 36. Her mom brought 36 + 8 = 44 pairs of socks. In total Lisa had 12 + 20 + 4 + 44 = 80 pairs of socks.
The answer: 80
Reverse engineering the question: Lisa was collecting socks to donate to a homeless shelter. She bought 12 pairs at a discount store. Sandra, her friend, came over and brought her 20 pairs of socks.

Reasoning and answer: The price of a tub of ice cream is now $12 - $2 = $10. So the two tubs of ice cream amount to $10 x 2 = $20. There are 10 / 5 = 2 sets of 5 cans of juice. Thus, you will pay $2 x 2 = $4 for the 10 cans of juice. Therefore, you will pay a total of $20 + $4 = $24.
The answer: 24

Question: A store is having an anniversary sale. A tub of ice cream costs $2 less than its original price of $12 and the juice is sold at $2 for 5 cans. How much will you pay if you buy two tubs of ice cream and 10 cans of juice?
Reasoning and answer: The total discount of a pair of shoes is $200 x 30 / 100 = $60. He spent $200 - $60 = $140 for a pair of shoes. The total cost of two shirts is $80 x 2 = $160. The initial cost of his purchase is $140 + $160 = $300. He got an additional $300 x 5 / 100 = $15 discount upon checkout. Therefore, Erwan spent $300 - 15 = $285 after all the discounts.
The answer: 285
