John has 15 snakes * 2 = 30 monkeys. John has 30 monkeys - 5 = 25 lions. John has 25 lions + 8 = 33 pandas. John has 33 pandas / 3 = 11 dogs. John has 15 + 30 + 25 + 33 + 11 = 114 animals.
The answer: 114
Reverse engineering the question: John wants to start a zoo. He has 15 snakes. He has twice as many monkeys as he does snakes. He has 5 fewer lions than he does monkeys.  John has 8 more pandas than he does lions. John has 1/3 as many dogs as he does pandas. How many total animals does John have?


Reasoning and answer: There were 13 * 3 = 39 male students in the class. In total the class had 39 students + 13 students = 52 students.
The answer: 52
What was the question?
Question: In a class, there were 13 female students. There were three times as many male students in this class. How many students were in the class?


There are 35 / 5 = 7 light bulbs to every fifth. 7 * 3 = 21 lightbulbs in the kitchen are broken. There are 35 - 21 = 14 light bulbs in the kitchen that are not broken. There are 10 * 3 = 30 light bulbs in the foyer in total. There are 30 - 10 = 20 light bulbs in the foyer that are not broken. There are 14 + 20 = 34 light bulbs that are not broken in both the foyer and kitchen.
The answer: 34
Reverse engineering the question: Three fifths of the light bulbs in the kitchen are broken. A third of the light bulbs in the foyer are also broken. If 10 light bulbs in the foyer are broken and there are 35 light bulbs in the kitchen, then how many light bulbs are not broken in both the foyer and kitchen?


Reasoning and answer: They earned $11 x 5 = $55 for the phone repairs. They earned $15 x 2 = $30 for the laptop repairs. They also earned $18 x 2 = $36 for computer repairs. Therefore, Care and Rick earned $55 + $30 + $36 = $121 for the week.
The answer: 121
What was the question?
Question: Care and Rick have a repair shop. Each repair is priced differently: phone repair costs $11, laptop repair costs $15 and computer repair costs $18. If they perform 5 phone repairs, 2 laptop repairs, and 2 computer repairs for this week, how much did they earn for the week?


Tyson bought 80 / 20 = 4 joggers. Alexander bought 4 + 22 = 26 joggers. Christopher bought 80 - 26 = 54 more joggers than Alexander.
The answer: 54
Reverse engineering the question: Alexander Bought 22 more joggers than Tyson. Christopher bought twenty times as many joggers as Tyson. If Christopher bought 80 joggers, how many more joggers does Christopher buy than Alexander?


Bess produces 2 pails every day. Brownie produces 3 times as much * 2 = 6 pails every day. Daisy produces 2 + 1 more pail than Bess = 3 pails every day. Bess, Brownie, and Daisy together produce 2 + 6 + 3 = 11 pails every day. A week is 7 days, so Farmer Red gets 11 * 7 = 77 pails each week.
The answer: 77
Reverse engineering the question:
Farmer Red has three milk cows: Bess, Brownie, and Daisy. Bess, the smallest cow, gives him two pails of milk every day. Brownie, the largest cow, produces three times that amount. Then Daisy makes one pail more than Bess. How many pails of milk does Farmer Red get from them each week?
