If the first page had 5 drawings, and the number of drawings on each page increased by five, the second page had 5 + 5 = 10. The total number of drawings in the first 2 pages is 5 + 10 = 15. On the third page, the number of drawings increased to 10 + 5 = 15. The first three pages have a total of 15 + 15 = 30 drawings. The fourth page had 15 + 5 = 20 drawings. There are 30 + 20 = 50 drawings on the first four pages. The fifth page also had an extra 5 more drawings than the fourth page, totaling 20 + 5 = 25. For the first five pages, Janice saw 25 + 50 = 75 pages.
The answer: 75
Reverse engineering the question: Janice opened an art book that she had found in the library and found 5 drawings on the first page. After opening the first ten pages, she realized that the number of drawings on each page increased by five after every page. How many drawings were in the first five pages?

Kathleen saved $21 + $46 + $45 = $112. Kathleen’s aunt did not give Kathleen any money because $112 is not greater than $125. Kathleen spent $12 + $54 = $66. Kathleen has $112 - $66 = $46 remaining.
The answer: 46
Reverse engineering the question: Kathleen saved $21 in June, $46 in July, and $45 in August. Then Kathleen spent $12 on school supplies and $54 on new clothes. Kathleen’s aunt said she would give Kathleen $25 if Kathleen saves more than $125. How much money does Kathleen have left?


Reasoning and answer: To finish an audiobook 30 hours long, listening to 2 hours of each audiobook a day, Fernanda took 30 hours / 2 hours / day = 15 days to finish one audiobook. If she purchased 6 audiobooks, the total number of days she will take to finish all the audiobooks is 6 audiobooks * 15 days / audiobook = 90 days.
The answer: 90
What was the question?
Question: Fernanda purchased six audiobooks from Audible to listen to from her audible app. If each audiobook was 30 hours long and she listened to 2 hours of an audiobook each day, calculate the total time it took her to finish the six audiobooks?


The cost of the briefcase was 5 * 4 = $20. So for both items Marcel paid 4 + 20 = $24.
The answer: 24
Reverse engineering the question: Marcel bought a pen for $4, and a briefcase for five times the price. How much did Marcel pay for both items?


Jennifer has 2 * 10 = 20 apples. She has a total of 10 + 20 + 20 = 50 fruits. She gives her sister 2 pears + 2 oranges + 2 apples = 6 fruits. After giving her sister 2 of each fruit, she has 50 - 6 = 44 fruits left.
The answer: 44
Reverse engineering the question:
Jennifer has ten pears, 20 oranges, and twice as many apples as pears. If she gives her sister two of each fruit, how many fruits does she have left?
