The total cost of the two smart televisions is $650 x 2 = $1300. The total discount of the two smart televisions is $1300 x 25 / 100 = $325. Mrs. Taylor paid $1300 - $325 = $975 for the two smart televisions.
The answer: 975
Reverse engineering the question: Mrs. Taylor bought two smart televisions that cost $650 each. If the total sales price had a 25% discount, how much did Mrs. Taylor pay for the two televisions?


Reasoning and answer: The number of times Jason goes to the library per week is 4 * 2 = 8 times. The number of times he goes to the library in 4 weeks is 8 * 4 = 32 times.
The answer: 32
What was the question?
Question: Jason goes to the library 4 times more often than William goes. If William goes 2 times per week to the library, how many times does Jason go to the library in 4 weeks?


Mike printed before the break 600 pamphlets per hour * 9 hours = 5400 pamphlets. The working speed of Mike after the break was 600 pamphlets per hour / 3 = 200 pamphlets per hour. Mike printed after the break 200 pamphlets per hour * 2 hours = 400 pamphlets. Leo worked third of the time that Mike worked before the break, so he worked 9 hours / 3 = 3 hours. Leo worked twice as fast as Mike before his break 600 pamphlets per hour * 2 = 1200 pamphlets per hour. Leo printed 1200 pamphlets per hour * 3 hours = 3600 pamphlets. Combining the pamphlets of Leo and Mike 5400 + 400 + 3600 = 9400 pamphlets.
The answer: 9400
Reverse engineering the question: Mike and Leo have to print as many pamphlets as possible for a social gathering. Mike manages to print as fast as 600 pamphlets per hour for 9 consecutive hours. After a break, he resumes the task for another 2 hours achieving a third of the speed he was doing before. Leo, on the other hand, only works a third as many hours as Mike did before his break, but was twice as fast as Mike before he took his break. How many pamphlets do both manage to print at the end?


Reasoning and answer: Each step Roger walks for 30 / 2000 = 0.015 minutes. To walk 10000 steps he'll take 0.015 * 10000 = 150.
The answer: 150
What was the question?
Question: Roger uses his lunch break to walk the stairs in his office building. He can walk 2,000 steps in 30 minutes. If his daily goal is 10,000 steps, how many minutes will it take him to reach his goal?


The cost of the loaves of bread is 4 × $2 = $8. The cost of the milk is 2 × $2 = $4. The total cost of the groceries is $8 + $4 = $12. Clare has $47 − $12 = $35 left.
The answer: 35
Reverse engineering the question: Clare's mother gave her $47 to go to the store. Clare bought 4 loaves of bread and 2 cartons of milk. Each loaf of bread cost $2 and each carton of milk cost $2. How much money does Clare have left?


Freddie's flashlight could be seen at night for a distance three times farther than Veronica's flashlight, for a total distance of 3 * 1000 = 3000 feet. Five times farther than the distance from which Freddie's flashlight can be seen at night is 5 * 3000 = 15,000 feet. Velma's flashlight could be seen at night from a distance 2000 feet less than 5 times farther than Freddie's flashlight, for a total distance of 15,000 - 2,000 = 13,000 feet. Compared to Veronica's flashlight, Velma's flashlight could be seen for a distance of 13,000 - 1,000 = 12,000 feet farther.
The answer: 12000
Reverse engineering the question:
Veronica's flashlight was bright enough to be seen at night from a distance of 1000 feet. Freddie's flashlight could be seen at night for a distance three times farther than Veronica's flashlight, and Velma's flashlight could be seen at night from a distance 2000 feet less than 5 times farther than Freddie's flashlight. If Veronica's and Velma's flashlight were placed next to one another and turned on at night, how much farther, in feet, could Velma's flashlight be seen compared to Veronica's?
