Reasoning and answer: To travel from New Orleans to New York, Sue took 3 / 4 * 24 hours = 18 hours. If she stayed in New York for 16 hours, Sue's total time to travel from New Orleans to San Francisco is: 18 hours from New Orleans to New York + 16 hours in New York + 24 hours from New York to San Francisco = 58 hours.
The answer: 58

Question: Sue is traveling from New York to San Francisco, 16 hours later after landing in New York from New Orleans. If the journey from New Orleans to New York took 3/4 times as much time as she takes to travel from New York to San Francisco, and she lands in San Francisco 24 hours later after departing from New York, calculate the total time she took to reach San Francisco from New Orleans?


The second rocket goes 500 * 2 = 1000 feet. So the total height is 500 + 1000 = 1500 feet.
The answer: 1500
Reverse engineering the question: John builds a model rocket that can travel 500 ft in the air. He builds a second rocket that can travel twice as high. What is the combined height of the two rockets?


Reasoning and answer: If the store ordered 15 boxes, each having 80 pencils, they ordered 15 * 80 = 1200 pencils. If the cost of a pencil was $4, the store paid $4 * 1200 = $4800 for all the pencils. Twice as many pens as pencils that the store ordered are 2 * 1200 = 2400. If A store ordered 300 more than twice as many pens as it did pencils, it ordered 2400 + 300 = 2700 pencils. Since the cost of the pens was $5, the store paid 2700 * $5 = $13500 for the pens. The total amount of money they paid for the stationery is 13500 + 4800 = $18300.
The answer: 18300

Question: A store ordered 300 more than twice as many pens as it did pencils at $5 each. If the cost of a pencil was $4, and the store ordered 15 boxes, each having 80 pencils, calculate the total amount of money they paid for the stationery.


65% of the library books are for adults because 100 - 35 = 65. There are 160 library books in total because 104 / .65 = 160.
The answer: 160
Reverse engineering the question: A library has a number of books. 35% of them are intended for children and 104 of them are for adults. How many books are in the library?


Reasoning and answer: There are 7 people on the bus after the first stop. There are 7 + 5 - 3 = 9 people on the bus after the second stop. There are 9 + 4 - 2 = 11 people on the bus after the third stop. 11 passengers are now on the bus.
The answer: 11

Question: The bus started its route. At its first stop, 7 people got on. At the second stop, 3 people got off, and 5 people got on. At the third stop, 2 people got off, and 4 people got on. How many passengers are now on the bus?


Reasoning and answer: She orders 2 quiches for $15.00 each so they cost 2 * 15 = $30.00. She orders 6 croissants at $3.00 each so they cost 6 * 2.5 = $18.00. She orders 6 biscuits at $2.00 each so they cost 6 * 2 = $12.00. Her advance order is 30 + 18 + 12 = $60.00. Her advance order is over $50.00 so she can get 10% off so .10 * 60 = $6.00. Her order is $60.00 and she gets $6.00 off so her advanced order will cost 60 - 6 = $54.00.
The answer: 54
