He needs to buy 12 / 6 = 2 per year. Insurance covers 500 * .75 = $375. So he pays 500 - 375 = $125. So he pays 125 * 2 = $250.
The answer: 250
Reverse engineering the question: John gets a new EpiPen every 6 months. They cost $500 and insurance covers 75%. How much does he pay per year?
Reasoning and answer: Population of Port Perry is 900 * 7 = 6,300. Population of Lazy Harbor is 6,300 - 800 = 5,500. Combined population is 6,300 + 5,500 = 11,800.
The answer: 11800
What was the question?
Question: The population of Port Perry is seven times as many as the population of Wellington. The population of Port Perry is 800 more than the population of Lazy Harbor. If Wellington has a population of 900, how many people live in Port Perry and Lazy Harbor combined?
6 models wearing 2 sets of bathing suits, or a total of 6 * 2 = 12 trips wearing bathing suits. 6 models wearing 3 sets of evening wear, or a total of 6 * 3 = 18 trips wearing evening wear clothes. Altogether, there will be 12 + 18 = 30 trips up and down the runway. At 2 minutes per trip, all of the trips will take 30 * 2 = 60 minutes to complete.
The answer: 60
Reverse engineering the question: The big fashion show is being planned for next week. The show includes runway models strutting up and down the runway wearing designer clothing in front of an audience. There are two parts to the show: evening wear and bathing suits. It takes a model 2 minutes to walk out to the end of the runway and back, and models take turns, one at a time, walking the runway up and back, while wearing different clothes. If there are 6 models in the show, and each model will wear two sets of bathing suits and three sets of evening wear clothing during the runway portion of the show, how long will it take, in minutes, to complete all of the runway trips during the show?
Reasoning and answer: By adding together Monday and Tuesday, Saah has 20 + 18 = 38 pencils. On Wednesday, she buys 3 * 18 = 54 pencils. All together, Sarah has 38 + 54 = 92 pencils.
The answer: 92
What was the question?
Question: Sarah buys 20 pencils on Monday. Then she buys 18 more pencils on Tuesday. On Wednesday she buys triple the number of pencils she did on Tuesday. How many pencils does she have?
The first square is 40 square feet because 8 x 5 = 40. The second square is 70 feet because 10 x 7 = 70. The third square is 25 feet because 5 x 5 = 25. The total square footage is 135 feet because 40 + 70 + 25 = 135. The flag will be 9 feet tall because 135 / 15 = 9.
The answer: 9
Reverse engineering the question: Bobby has three squares of fabric that he will turn into a flag. The first square is 8 feet by 5 feet. The second one is 10 feet by 7 feet. The third one is 5 feet by 5 feet. If he wants his flag to be 15 feet long, how tall will it be?
The 3 pigs that are sold after 12 months will cost the farmer 12 * 10 * 3 = $360 in food costs. The 3 pigs that are sold after 16 months will cost the farmer 16 * 10 * 3 = $480 in food costs. Thus, the total food cost to raise the 6 piglets was 360 + 480 = $840. Next, selling the 6 fully grown pigs will earn the farmer 6 * 300 = $1800 in revenue. Therefore, the earn the farmer 1800 - 840 = $960 in profit from these sales.
The answer: 960
Reverse engineering the question:
A farmer owns a hog that recently gave birth to 6 piglets. If the farmer raises the piglets until they are fully grown, he can sell the fully grown pig for $300. Each piglet must grow for at least 12 months before it is large enough to be sold. It costs the farmer $10 per month to feed each animal until it is sold. If the farmer sells 3 pigs after 12 months, and the remaining 3 pigs after 16 months, how much profit did he earn in total (after deducting the cost of food)?
