Reasoning and answer: Tomas ate 1.5 * 16 = 24 ounces. Katya ate 0.5 * 16 = 8 ounces. Boris ate 2 * 16 = 32 ounces. Total = 24 + 8 + 32 = 64 ounces. The 3 friends ate 64 ounces of fudge in total.
The answer: 64
What was the question?
Question: Tomas ate 1.5 pounds of chocolate fudge last week. Katya ate half a pound of peanut butter fudge, while Boris ate 2 pounds of fudge. How many ounces of fudge did the 3 friends eat in total?


100 / 2 = 50 people in the theater have brown eyes. 100 / 4 = 25 people in the theater have black eyes. There are 50 + 25 + 19 = 94 people in the theater with either brown, black, or blue eyes. There are 100 - 94 = 6 people in the theater with green eyes.
The answer: 6
Reverse engineering the question: There are 100 people in a theater. If 19 of these people have blue eyes, half of them have brown eyes, a quarter have black eyes, and the rest have green eyes, how many of them have green eyes?


Reasoning and answer: After eating 15 green macaroons, the number is reduced to 40 green macaroons - 15 green macaroons = 25 green macaroons. If Fran ate 15 green macaroons, he also ate 2 red / green * 15 green macaroons = 30 red macaroons. The total number of red macaroons remaining is 50 red macaroons - 30 red macaroons = 20 red macaroons. The total number of macaroons Fran has left are 20 macaroons + 25 macaroons = 45 macaroons.
The answer: 45
What was the question?
Question: Fran baked 50 red macaroons and 40 green macarons. How many macaroons will remain if Fran ate 15 green macaroons and twice as many red macaroons as green macaroons?


Let x be the number of feet in John’s pool. 2 * x + 5 = 15. 2x = 10. x = 5.
The answer: 5
Reverse engineering the question: John's pool is 5 feet deeper than 2 times Sarah’s pool. If John’s pool is 15 feet deep, how deep is Sarah’s pool?


Reasoning and answer: For every white duck there are 5 fish and there are 3 white ducks for a total of 5 * 3 = 15 fish. For every black duck there are 10 fish and there are 7 black ducks for a total of 10 * 7 = 70 fish. For every multicolored duck there are 12 fish and there are 6 multicolored ducks for a total of 12 * 6 = 72 fish. All total there are 15 + 70 + 72 = 157 fish in the lake.
The answer: 157
What was the question?
Question: For every white duck at the lake there are 5 fish. For every black duck there are 10 fish and for every multicolor duck there are 12 fish. Currently there are 3 white ducks, 7 black ducks and 6 multicolored ducks. How many fish are in the lake?


Reasoning and answer: Donna got $200 x 25 / 100 = $50 less for the porcelain vase. So, the porcelain vase is now $200 - $50 = $150. Donna has to pay $150 x 10 / 100 = $15 for the sales tax. Therefore, she paid $150 + $15 = $165 in total.
The answer: 165
What was the question?
Question:
A porcelain vase was originally priced at $200 but went on sale for 25% off. If Donna bought the porcelain vase and paid 10% sales tax, how much did she pay in total?
