The manuscript is 400 pages and the printers charge $0.05 per page for a total of 400 * .05 = $20.00 per manuscript. She needs 10 copies made and it costs $20.00 per manuscript so that's 10 * 20 = $200.00. She also needs each of the 10 copies to be bound, which is $5.00 per manuscript so that's 5 * 10 = $50.00. It will cost $200.00 to have them printed and $50.00 to have them bound for a total of 200 + 50 = $250.00.
The answer: 250
Reverse engineering the question: Clarissa is responsible for getting 10 copies of a manuscript printed and having each copy bound. The printers charge $0.05 per page to copy it and $5.00 per manuscript to have it bound. If the manuscript is 400 pages, how much will it cost to have it copied and bound 10 times?


Reasoning and answer: 55 miles north and 95 miles west give 55 + 95 = 150 miles total. 150 miles at 25 miles an hour gives 150 / 25 = 6 hours.
The answer: 6

Question: Tod drives his family car 55 miles to the north and 95 miles to the west. If Tod constantly drives 25 miles an hour the entire trip how many hours did Tod drive?


Her siblings have brought a total of 4 siblings * 2 suitcases each = 8 suitcases. Her parents have brought 2 parents * 3 suitcases each = 6 suitcases. This is a total of 8 + 6 = 14 suitcases.
The answer: 14
Reverse engineering the question: Lily is going abroad on vacation with her family. Each of her 4 siblings is bringing 2 suitcases, and her parents are bringing 3 suitcases. Lily decides that there is already too much luggage and she won't be bringing any. How many suitcases is the entire family bringing on vacation?


Reasoning and answer: He reads 10 / 5 = 2 hours per day. That means he reads 2 * 50 = 100 pages per day. So he reads 100 * 7 = 700 pages in 7 days.
The answer: 700
What was the question?
Question: Tom reads 10 hours over 5 days. He can read 50 pages per hour. Assuming he reads the same amount every day how many pages does he read in 7 days?


There are 4 letters in Jamie’s last name, so Bobbie’s name is 4 * 2 + 2 = 10 letters long. Samantha’s last name is 3 letters shorter than Bobbie’s, so there are 10 - 3 = 7 letters in Samantha’s last name.
The answer: 7
Reverse engineering the question: Samantha’s last name has three fewer letters than Bobbie’s last name. If Bobbie took two letters off her last name, she would have a last name twice the length of Jamie’s. Jamie’s full name is Jamie Grey. How many letters are in Samantha’s last name?


3 foxes catch 4 weasels each every week for a total of 3 * 4 = 12 weasels. 12 weasels are caught every week for 3 weeks for a total of 12 * 3 = 36 weasels. 3 foxes catch 2 rabbits each every week for a total of 3 * 2 = 6 rabbits. 6 rabbits are caught every week for 3 weeks for a total of 6 * 3 = 18 rabbits. There were originally 100 weasels so now there are 100 - 36 = 64 weasels left. There were originally 50 rabbits so now there are 50 - 18 = 32 rabbits left. There are 64 + 32 = 96 weasels and rabbits left.
The answer: 96
Reverse engineering the question:
In a section of the forest, there are 100 weasels and 50 rabbits. Three foxes invade this region and hunt the rodents. Each fox catches an average of 4 weasels and 2 rabbits per week. How many rabbits and weasels will be left after 3 weeks?
