When they picked 400 apples each in the first round, they picked a total of 2 * 400 = 800 apples. They picked 3 / 4 * 400 = 300 apples each in the second round. The total number of apples they picked in the second round is 2 * 300 = 600. The total number of apples they'd picked so far is 800 + 600 = 1400. When they checked the pickup truck that was carrying the apples, they found out they still needed to pick 600 apples each to reach the target number, a total of 2 * 600 = 1200. The target number of apples they had to pick is 1200 + 1400 = 2600.
The answer: 2600
Reverse engineering the question: Kaiden and Adriel were to pick a certain number of apples from their farm. After picking 400 apples each, they realized they still had to pick some more, so each picked 3/4 times as many as they had picked earlier. When they checked the pickup truck that was carrying the apples, they found out they still needed to pick 600 apples each to reach the target number. How many apples were they targeting to pick?


Reasoning and answer: Gordon’s bags weigh 3 + 7 = 10 pounds. Trace’s five bags all weigh the same amount, so each bag weighs 10 / 5 = 2 pounds.
The answer: 2

If they ate 60% of the pieces of cake, the friends ate 60 / 100 * 240 pieces = 144 pieces of the cake. The total number of pieces remaining is 240 pieces - 144 pieces = 96 pieces. When Juelz divided the remaining pieces of cake to his sisters, each sister received 96 pieces / 3 sisters = 32 pieces / sister.
The answer: 32
Reverse engineering the question: Forest and his friends have prepared a birthday cake for their friend Juelz having 240 cake pieces. After singing the birthday song, they ate 60% of the cake's pieces, and later, Juelz divided the remaining pieces among his three sisters. What is the number of pieces of cake each sister received?


Reasoning and answer: Twice the number of bottles Paul drinks in one day is 3 * 2 = 6 bottles. So, the number of bottles that Donald drinks in one day is 6 + 3 = 9 bottles.
The answer: 9
What was the question?
Question: Donald drinks 3 more than twice the number of juice bottles Paul drinks in one day. If Paul drinks 3 bottles of juice per day, how many bottles does Donald drink per day?


Reasoning and answer: First find the number of nuts the two busy squirrels gather per day: 2 squirrels * 30 nuts / day / squirrel = 60 nuts / day. Then add the number the sleepy squirrel gathers each day: 60 nuts / day + 20 nuts / day = 80 nuts / day. Then multiply the number of nuts gathered daily by the number of days to find the total number of nuts gathered: 80 nuts / day * 40 days = 3200 nuts.
The answer: 3200
