Starting with the bonus, Maurice would receive it 30 / 10 = 3 times. This means the bonus money, would make up to 3 * 6 = $18. Maurice would do 30 tasks, so for all of them, he would receive 30 * 2 = $60. So in total Maurice would make 60 + 18 = $78 for finishing 30 tasks.
The answer: 78
Reverse engineering the question: Maurice is getting $2 for every finished task. And for every 10 tasks finished, he receives a $6 bonus. How much money would Maurice make for finishing 30 tasks?


Reasoning and answer: In total Thomas would train on 30 + 12 = 42 days. Thomas trained 5 hours every day, which would bring us to 42 * 5 = 210 hours of training in total.
The answer: 210
What was the question?
Question: Thomas is training at the gym to prepare for a competition. He trained for 5 hours every day for a month (30 days). If he continues to train for the next 12 days, how many hours will he spend on training in total?


He brushes his teeth 3 times a day, after breakfast, lunch and dinner. He brushes for 2 minutes so that’s 3 * 2 = 6 minutes per day. He brushes 6 minutes per day so after 30 days he has brushed 6 * 30 = 180 minutes. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour and he brushes for 180 minutes so that’s 180 / 60 = 3 hours.
The answer: 3
Reverse engineering the question: Malcolm brushes his teeth for 2 minutes after breakfast, lunch and dinner. After 30 days, how many hours does he spend brushing his teeth?


Reasoning and answer: Jay invited 22 guests and Gloria invited 36 so they invited 22 + 36 = 58 guests. They also each wanted a flag so in total they would need 1 + 1 + 58 = 60 flags. The craft store has them on sale at 5 for $1.00 and they need 60 flags so the flags will cost them 60 / 5 = $12.00.
The answer: 12
What was the question?
Question: Jay & Gloria were hosting a 4th of July party at their house. Jay invited 22 people and Gloria invited 36. They wanted to buy small American flags for everyone. The craft store was having a sale on small flags, 5 flags for $1.00. If they wanted all of their guests to have a flag and they also wanted 1 flag each, how much would they spend at the craft store?


Sydney is 20 * 3 = 60 years old. Mason’s father is 60 + 6 = 66 years old.
The answer: 66
Reverse engineering the question: Mason is three times younger than Sydney and Sydney is six years younger than Mason's father. If Mason is 20 years old, how old is his father?


Half of the floors have different numbers of apartments. Half the number of floors is 12 floors / 2 = 6 floors. One half of the block consists of 6 floors * 6 apartments / floor = 36 apartments. And the other half consists of 6 floors * 5 apartments / floor = 30 apartments. There are 30 + 36 = 66 apartments on all floors in the block. All the apartments can therefore accommodate 66 apartments * 4 residents / apartment = 264 residents.
The answer: 264
Reverse engineering the question:
In the city, there is a block of flats. This block has 12 floors. Half of the floors have 6 apartments and the other half have 5 apartments. One apartment can accommodate a maximum of 4 residents. What is the maximum number of residents that can live in this block of flats?
