Come up with a question and stream of consciousness reasoning that would justify this answer: 20
The question is: Ali has a small flower shop. He sold 4 flowers on Monday, 8 flowers on Tuesday and on Friday, he sold double the number of flowers he sold on Monday. How many flowers does Ali sell?
Stream of consciousness: Combining Tuesday and Monday, Ali sold 4 + 8 = 12 flowers. On Friday, he sold 2 * 4 = 8 flowers. Altogether, Ali sold 12 + 8 = 20 flowers.
