Reasoning and answer: With the bakery stop, Kona drove a total of 9 + 24 + 27 = 60 miles. Without the bakery stop, Kona drove a total of 27 + 27 = 54 miles. With the bakery stop, Kona drives an additional 60 - 54 = 6 miles.
The answer: 6

The second flight had 20 * 2 = 40 steps. The third had 40 - 10 = 30 steps. So in total, he climbed 20 + 40 + 30 = 90 steps. So he climbed 90 * .5 = 45 feet.
The answer: 45
Reverse engineering the question: John climbs 3 staircases. The first staircase has 20 steps. The next has twice as many steps as the first. The final staircase has 10 fewer steps than the second one. Each step is 0.5 feet. How many feet did he climb?


Reasoning and answer: Twice the distance of Ricciana's jump is 4 x 2 = 8 feet. So, Margarita jumped 8 - 1 = 7 feet. Margarita ran and jumped for 18 + 7 = 25 feet in all. So, Margarita ran and jumped 25 - 24 = 1 foott more than Ricciana.
The answer: 1

Question: Ricciana and Margarita joined in their school's long jump event. Ricciana ran and jumped a total of 24 feet - 20 feet for running and 4 feet for jumping. Margarita ran for 18 feet and jumped 1 foot less than twice Ricciana's jump. How much farther did Margarita run and jump than Ricciana?


First, we must recognize that all pairs of shoes and socks are actually two items each, whereas the pants and the t - shirts are individual items. Therefore there are 20 * 2 = 40 individual socks in 20 pairs of socks. Similarly, there are 5 * 2 = 10 individual shoes in 5 pairs of shoes. Therefore, Jonas has 40 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 70 individual items in his collection. To double this number, we perform 70 * 2 = 140. This means we need 140 - 70 = 70 new items to double the size. Since there are 2 individual socks in each pair, we take 70 / 2 = 35 new pairs of socks.
The answer: 35
Reverse engineering the question: Jonas is trying to expand his wardrobe. He has 20 pairs of socks, 5 pairs of shoes, 10 pairs of pants and 10 t-shirts. How many pairs of socks does he need to buy to double the number of individual items in his wardrobe?


Reasoning and answer: Last month Brad read thrice 6 books for a total of 3 * 6 = 18 books. This month Williams read twice 8 books for a total of 2 * 8 = 16 books. Across the 2 months Brad has read 18 + 8 = 26 books. Across the 2 months William has read 6 + 16 = 22 books. Brad has read 26 - 22 = 4 more books.
The answer: 4

Question: William read 6 books last month and Brad read thrice as many books as William did. This month, in an effort to catch up, Williams read twice as much as Brad, who read 8 books. Who has read more across the two months, and by how much?


Reasoning and answer: If Kristoff has 85 stickers, Riku has 25 * 85 stickers = 2125 more stickers. The total number of stickers Riku has is 2125 stickers + 85 stickers = 2210 stickers.
The answer: 2210
