Sarah saved 1 / 3 of her 9 cupcakes to give Michael, so she has 2 / 3 x 9 = 6 cupcakes left. Michael saves 5 of his cookies for Sarah, which she adds to her 6 cupcakes. Sarah has 5 + 6 = 11 desserts.
The answer: 11
Reverse engineering the question: Michael saved 5 of his cookies to give Sarah, who saved a third of her 9 cupcakes to give to Michael. How many desserts does Sarah end up with?


Reasoning and answer: After painting the red and blue pebbles, Shawn had a remainder of 40 - 9 - 13 = 18 pebbles. He painted 18 / 3 = 6 pebbles yellow. The difference between the number of blue and yellow pebbles is 13 - 6 = 7.
The answer: 7

In the second hour, the number of towels given out is 50 x 1.20 = 60. In the third hour, the number of towels given out is 60 x 1.25 = 75. In the fourth hour, one - third of the guests of the third hour is 75 / 3 = 25. In the fourth hour, the number of towels given out is 75 + 25 = 100. In total, including the first hour guests, they need to wash this many towels: 50 + 60 + 75 + 100 = 285.
The answer: 285
Reverse engineering the question: At the gym, every day, there are 300 towels laid out for guest use. Each guest is given 1 towel during their visit. The gym is open from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. In the first hour, 50 guests enter the gym. In the second hour, 20% more guests enter than during the first hour. In the third hour, 25% more guests enter than in the second hour. In the fourth hour, one third more guests enter than in the third hour. In total, how many towels do they need to wash that evening?


Reasoning and answer: The cost of each key chain in packs of 10 for $20 is $20 / 10 = $2. The cost of each key chain in packs of 4 for $12 is $12 / 4 = $3. There is a price difference of $3 - $2 = $1 per key chain between the two choices. By buying 20 key chains at a lower price, Matt can save 20x$1 = $20.
The answer: 20
What was the question?
Question: Matt can buy key chains in packs of 10 for $20 or in packs of 4 for $12. How much money can he save if he chooses to buy 20 key chains at a lower price?


Reasoning and answer: Betty used 2 cups of sugar in her cheesecake, so she used 2 * 1 = 2 times her ratio. Thus, she used 2 * 4 = 8 cups of cream cheese. She uses 1 teaspoon of vanilla for 2 cups of cream cheese, so she used 8 / 2 = 4 teaspoons of vanilla. For each teaspoon of vanilla, she uses 2 eggs, so she used 2 * 4 = 8 eggs.
The answer: 8
What was the question?
Question:
When Betty makes cheesecake, she sweetens it with a ratio of one part sugar to four parts cream cheese, and she flavors it with one teaspoon of vanilla for every two cups of cream cheese.
