He gets 10 new bones, every month for 5 months so he has 10 * 5 = 50 dog bones. He has 8 bones available which means he has buried 50 - 8 = 42 bones.
The answer: 42
Reverse engineering the question: Barkley gets 10 new dog bones at the beginning of the month. After 5 months, he has 8 bones available and has buried the rest. How many bones has he buried?


Reasoning and answer: There are 30 / 3 = 10 blue fish. There are 10 / 2 = 5 blue spotted fish.
The answer: 5
What was the question?
Question: There are 30 fish in the tank. One third of them are blue, and half of the blue fish have spots. How many fish in the tank are blue, spotted fish?


Starting with 120 pennies he has $1.20. If he has three times as many pennies as he does nickels, he has 120 pennies / 3 nickels per penny = 40 nickels. 40 nickels = 40 * $0.05 = $2. If he has five times as many nickels as dimes he has 40 nickels / 5 dimes per nickel = 8 dimes. 8 * $0.10 = $0.80. if he has twice as many quarters than he does dimes, he has 8 dimes * 2 quarters per dime = 16 quarters = 16 * $ 0.25 = $4.00. In all he has $1.20 + $2.00 + $0.80 + $4.00 = $8.00.
The answer: 8
Reverse engineering the question: Caden has four jars of coins. One jar of pennies, one jar of nickels, one jar of dimes and one jar of quarters. He has twice as many quarters as he does dimes. He has five times as many nickels as he does dimes. He has three times as many pennies as he does nickels. If he has 120 pennies, how much money does he have?


Reasoning and answer: Each dose is 375 * 2 = 750 mg. He takes it 24 / 6 = 4 times. So he takes 750 * 4 = 3000 mg a day.
The answer: 3000
What was the question?
Question: James takes 2 Tylenol tablets that are 375 mg each, every 6 hours. How many mg does he take a day?


He orders 100 / 20 = 5 boxes. So that means he spent 5 * 4 = $20 on nuggets.
The answer: 20
Reverse engineering the question: Mark orders 100 chicken nuggets. A 20 box of chicken nuggets cost $4. How much did he pay for the chicken nuggets?
