The bakery has made 300 total doughnuts / 10 doughnuts per box = 30 boxes of doughnuts. So at the end of the day, they still have 30 total boxes of doughnuts – 27 sold boxes of doughnuts = 3 boxes of doughnuts leftover. They are therefore giving away 3 boxes of doughnuts * 10 doughnuts per box = 30 doughnuts.
The answer: 30
Reverse engineering the question: A bakery sells boxes of doughnuts and if there are any doughnuts left at the end of the day, the bakery gives them away. Each box of doughnuts holds 10 doughnuts and all of the doughnuts that the bakery makes are put into these boxes. The bakery makes 300 doughnuts for the day and sells 27 boxes of doughnuts throughout the day. How many doughnuts are given away at the end of the day?


Reasoning and answer: If a box of tissue has 20 packs of tissues, ten boxes have 20 packs / box * 10 boxes = 200 packs. Since each pack has 100 tissues, Annalise bought 100 tissues / pack * 200 packs = 20000 tissues. Annalise bought 20000 tissues at five cents each, at a total cost of 20000 tissues * $0.05 = $1000.
The answer: 1000

Question: Annalise was sent by her mother to the store to buy 10 boxes of Kleenex Ultra Soft Facial Tissues. If each box has 20 packs of tissues and each pack contain 100 tissues sold at five cents each, calculate the total amount of money Annalise spent to buy the ten boxes.


The tickets cost $10.00 each and he has to buy 2 tickets so that's 10 * 2 = $20.00. They each grab a box of candy that's $2.50 a box so that will cost 2 * 2.50 = $5.00.

Reasoning and answer: If the two men each bought 30 apples, together they bought 2 * 30 = 60 apples. Since the two men each bought 30 apples, 20 less than the total number of apples bought by each woman, each woman bought 20 + 30 = 50 apples. The total number of apples bought by the women is 3 * 50 = 150. Altogether, the two men and three women bought 60 + 150 = 210 apples.
The answer: 210
