Ivan's dog weighs 63 / 7 = 9 pounds. Thus, the two dogs weigh 63 + 9 = 72 pounds.
The answer: 72
Reverse engineering the question: Evan’s dog weighs 63 pounds; it weighs 7 times as much as Ivan’s dog. Together, what is the weight of the dogs?

First find the size of the second bell: 50 pounds * 2 = 100 pounds. Then find the size of the third bell: 100 pounds * 4 = 400 pounds. Then add the amount of bronze used for each bell to find the total: 100 pounds + 400 pounds + 50 pounds = 550 pounds.
The answer: 550
Reverse engineering the question: Martin is casting three bells for the church's belfry. The first bell takes 50 pounds of bronze, the second bell is twice the size of the first bell, and the third bell is four times the size of the second bell. How much bronze does he need total?

The movie last 2.5 * 60 = 150 minutes. So he uses the bathroom 150 / 50 = 3 times.
The answer: 3
Reverse engineering the question: John uses the bathroom every 50 minutes. How many times does he use the bathroom during a 2.5-hour movie?

She uses $3.00 of ingredients per 1 bag of granola and she makes 20 bags so she spends 3 * 20 = $60.00 on ingredients. She sells 15 bags for $6.00 so she makes 15 * 6 = $90.00. She sells her last 5 bags for $4.00 so she makes 5 * 4 = $20.00. She made $90.00 and $20.00 for a total of 90 + 20 = $110.00. She made $110.00 but spent $60.00 on ingredients so her net profit is 110 - 60 = $50.00.
The answer: 50
Reverse engineering the question:
Elizabeth uses $3.00 worth of ingredients to make a bag of granola. She makes 20 bags and sells them for $6.00 a bag at the farmer's market. An hour before closing, she has sold 15 bags and marks the remaining 5 bags down to $4.00 and sells them soon after. What is her net profit?
