The team's total number of goalies and defenders is 3 + 10 = 13. The number of midfielders in the team is twice the number of defenders, which means there are 2 * 10 = 20 defenders in the team. The total number of players in the team playing the positions of goalies, defenders and midfielders is 20 + 13 = 33. If there are 40 players in the team, then the number of strikes in the team is 40 - 33 = 7.
The answer: 7
Reverse engineering the question: A soccer team has three goalies and ten defenders. The team also has twice as many midfielders as defenders, and the rest of the players are strikers. If the team has 40 players, how many strikers are in the team?


Reasoning and answer: The teams have 33 total wins because 12 + 13 + 8 = 33. The teams have 66 points from wins because 33 x 2 = 66. The teams have 15 total ties because 4 + 1 + 10 = 15. The teams have 15 points from ties because 15 x 1 = 15. The teams have 81 total points because 66 + 15 = 81. The average number of points per team is 27 because 81 / 3 = 27.
The answer: 27

There is 3 miles uphill because 5 x .6 = 3. This takes him 1.5 hours because 3 / 2 = 1.5. This takes him 90 minutes because 1.5 x 60 = 90. 40% of the trail is downhill because 100 - 60 = 40. There are 2 miles of downhill because 5 x .4 = 2. This takes him 2 / 3 of an hour because 2 / 3 = (2 / 3). This takes him 40 minutes because 60 x (2 / 3) = 40. It takes him 130 minutes in total because 90 + 40 = 130.
The answer: 130
Reverse engineering the question: Roberto is out for a hike. He travels uphill at 2 MPH and downhill at 3MPH. The trail is 5 miles long. 60% is uphill and the rest is downhill. How long does it take him to complete it in minutes?


Reasoning and answer: Stacy bought 2 * 240 = 480 sheets of paper. At 80 pages per day, the printer paper will last her office 480 / 80 = 6 days.

Reasoning and answer: Theodore's total earnings from the stone statues are 10 x $20 = $200. His total earnings from wooden statues are 20 x $5 = $100. So his total earnings from the stone and wooden statue are $200 + $100 = $300. The amount he pays for the tax is $300 x 10 / 100 = $30. Therefore his total monthly earnings are $300 - $30 = $270.
The answer: 270
What was the question?
Question:
Theodore can craft 10 stone statues and 20 wooden statues every month. A stone statue costs $20 and a wooden statue costs $5. He also pays 10 percent of his total earnings in taxes. How much is his total earning every month?
