Reasoning and answer: Carrie drove 135 + 124 = 259 miles on the second day. Carrie drove 135 + 259 + 159 + 189 = 742 miles for the whole trip. Carries charged her phone 742 / 106 = 7 times.
The answer: 7

The popcorn costs 8 - 3 = $5. The drink costs 5 + 1 = $6. The candy costs 6 / 2 = $3. The normal price is 8 + 5 + 6 + 3 = $22. Thus, the deal saves a customer 22 - 20 = $2.
The answer: 2
Reverse engineering the question: A movie theater company is advertising a deal of a movie ticket, a bucket of popcorn, a drink, and a box of candy for $20. Normally, a movie ticket costs $8, a bucket of popcorn costs three dollars less, a drink costs a dollar more than popcorn, and a candy costs half as much as a drink. How many dollars does the deal save a customer who buys a ticket, popcorn, drink, and candy normally?


Reasoning and answer: First we need to determine the bonus percentage, which is found by dividing the bonus amount by the amount John made for the year, taking 10,000 / 100,000 = .10, or 10 percent. Then, we take John's earnings from this year and multiply them by the same percentage, taking 200,000 * .1 = 20,000 dollars in bonuses. We then add these two numbers together, for a total of 200,000 + 20,000 = 220,000 dollars.
The answer: 220000
What was the question?
Question: John gets a bonus that's the same percentage every year. Last year he made $100,000 and got a $10,000 bonus. This year he makes $200,000. How much will John make this year when adding both his total pay and bonus together?
