Every third shopper buys a package of candied yams, so the store will need 375 / 3 = 125 packages. At 25 packages per bulk box, the store will need 125 / 25 = 5 bulk boxes of candied yams.
The answer: 5
Reverse engineering the question: Candied yams fly off the shelf during the holiday season. The store buys them in bulk boxes of 25 packages. If every third shopper buys a package of candied yams, how many bulk boxes of candied yams will the store need to order for their 375 predicted holiday shoppers?

Every donut costs him $.2 because 2.4 divided by 12 equals .2. So he makes $.8 for every donut he sells because $1 minus $.2 equals .8. He needs to sell 120 donuts because 96 divided by .8 equals 120. He needs to buy and sell 10 dozen donuts because 120 divided by 12 equals 10.
The answer: 10
Reverse engineering the question: Javier is selling donuts to raise money for a new game. He wants to raise $96. He buys each dozen donuts for $2.40 and then sells each donut for $1. How many dozen donuts does he need to buy and sell to reach his goal?

Arthur is 2 years older than Susan, so he is 15 + 2 = 17 years old. Bob is 11 years old, so Tom is 11 - 3 = 8 years old. So in total these four family members have 11 + 15 + 17 + 8 = 51 years.
The answer: 51
Reverse engineering the question: Susan, Arthur, Tom and, Bob are siblings. Arthur is 2 years older than Susan, and Tom is 3 years younger than Bob. If Bob is 11 years old, and Susan is 15 years old, how old are all four family members in total?

The 15 families own 15x2 = 30 dogs. The 20 families own 20x1 = 20 dogs. There are 50 - 15 - 20 = 15 cat owners. The remaining families own 15x2 = 30 cats. There are 30 + 20 + 30 = 80 dogs and cats in the village.
The answer: 80
Reverse engineering the question:
