If Keaton climbed his ladder twenty times, he covered a length of 30 * 20 = 600 feet. Reece's ladder, 4 feet shorter than Keaton's ladder, was 30 - 4 = 26 feet long. If Reece climbed the ladder 15 times, he covered a length of 15 * 26 = 390 feet. Keaton and Reece's total length covered while climbing the ladders is 390 + 600 = 990 feet. Since one foot is equal to 12 inches, the total length they climbed the ladders in inches is 12 * 990 = 11880 inches.
The answer: 11880
Reverse engineering the question: Keaton climbed a 30 feet ladder twenty times while working at the construction site. Reece, also working at the same site, climbed a ladder 4 feet shorter than Keaton's ladder 15 times. What's the total length of the ladders that both workers climbed in inches?


Reasoning and answer: The clay pot costs $20 + $9 = $29. The bag of soil costs $9 - $2 = $7. The cost to plant the flowers is $9 + $29 + $7 = $45.
The answer: 45
What was the question?
Question: The flowers cost $9, the clay pot costs $20 more than the flower, and the bag of soil costs $2 less than the flower. How much does it cost to plant the flowers?


He spends 60 / 3 = 20 minutes warming up. So he spends 60 + 20 = 80 minutes at the gym per day. That means he spends 80 * 3 = 240 minutes at the gym. So he spends 240 / 60 = 4 hours at the gym a week.
The answer: 4
Reverse engineering the question: Johns goes to the gym 3 times a week. He spends 1 hour each day lifting weight. Additionally, he also spends a third of his weightlifting time warming up and doing cardio each day. How many hours does he spend at the gym a week?


Reasoning and answer: Oliver's $20 bills amount to $20 x 10 = $200. Oliver's $5 bills amount to $5 x 3 = $15. So, Oliver has a total of $200 + $15 = $215. William's $10 bills amount to $10 x 15 = $150. William's $5 bills amount to $5 x 4 = $20. So, William has a total of $150 + $20 = $170. Therefore, Oliver has $215 - $170 = $45 more than William.
The answer: 45
What was the question?
Question: Oliver has 10 $20 and 3 $5 bills. William has 15 $10 and 4 $5 bills. How much more money does Oliver have than William?


First find how many packages the second center processes per day: 10000 packages / day * 3 = 30000 packages / day. Then add the packages the first center processes: 30000 packages / day + 10000 packages / day = 40000 packages / day. Then multiply the number of packages by Amazon's profit per package to find Amazon's daily profit: 40000 packages / day * $0.05 / package = $2000 / day. Then multiply the daily profits by the number of days in a week to find the weekly profits: $2000 / day * 7 days / week = $14000 / week.
The answer: 14000
Reverse engineering the question: Gary manages two Amazon distribution centers. The first center processes 10000 packages per day, and the second center processes three times that volume. If Amazon makes 5 cents of profit per package, how much profit per week do the two centers make combined?


She works 8 hours a day for $18 per hour so she makes 8 * 18 = $144.00 per 8 - hour shift. She works 10 hours a day and anything over 8 hours is eligible for overtime, so she gets 10 - 8 = 2 hours of overtime. Overtime is calculated as time and a half so and she makes $18 / hour so her overtime pay is 18 * .5 = $9.00. Her overtime pay is 18 + 9 = $27.00. Her base pay is $144.00 per 8 - hour shift and she works 5 days and makes 5 * $144 = $720.00. Her overtime pay is $27.00 per hour and she works 2 hours of overtime per day and makes 27 * 2 = $54.00 in overtime pay. 2 hours of overtime pay for 5 days means she makes 54 * 5 = $270.00. In 5 days her base pay is $720.00 and she makes $270.00 in overtime pay so she makes $720 + $270 = $990.00.
The answer: 990
Reverse engineering the question:
Tina makes $18.00 an hour. If she works more than 8 hours per shift, she is eligible for overtime, which is paid by your hourly wage + 1/2 your hourly wage. If she works 10 hours every day for 5 days, how much money does she make?
