The traveler’s camel drank 7 * 32 = 224 ounces of water. Together, the traveler and his camel drank 32 + 224 = 256 ounces. Thus, they drank 256 / 128 = 2 gallons of water altogether.
The answer: 2
Reverse engineering the question: A thirsty traveler found an oasis in the desert. He drank 32 ounces of water. His camel drank seven times as much as he did. There are 128 ounces in a gallon. How many gallons of water did they drink altogether?

Two times the minutes it took Dawn to wash the dishes is 20 * 2 = 40. Andy took 40 + 6 = 46 minutes to put away the laundry.
The answer: 46
Reverse engineering the question: Andy and Dawn spent the weekend cleaning the house. When putting away the laundry Andy took six minutes more than two times the number of minutes it took Dawn to wash the dishes. If it took Dawn 20 minutes to wash the dishes how many minutes did it take Andy to put away the laundry?

The 5% discount amounts to $50 x 5 / 100 = $2.50. So the total discount given to the customer for 4 months was $2.50 x 4 = $10. The customer was supposed to pay $50 x 4 = $200 in all for 4 months without discount. Since the customer is entitled to the discount, then he only paid a total of $200 - $10 = $190 for 4 months.
The answer: 190
Reverse engineering the question: An internet provider gives a 5% discount if the customer pays before the 25th day of the month. If the monthly internet rate is $50, how much did the customer pay in all for 4 months if he paid every 25th of the month?

The cost of the Lyft ride is $22 - $3 = $19. The original cost of the taxi ride is $19 - $4 = $15. Trevor tips the taxi driver $15 * 0.20 = $3. The total cost of the ride downtown is $15 + $3 = $18.
The answer: 18
Reverse engineering the question:
Trevor needs to go downtown for a restaurant date. An Uber ride downtown costs $3 more than a Lyft ride. A Lyft ride costs $4 more than a taxi ride. The Uber ride costs $22. If Trevor takes a taxi downtown and tips the taxi driver 20% of the original cost of the ride, what is the total cost of the ride downtown?
