The answer: 6

Reasoning and answer: In 2015, Kendra's sales were 20 / 100 * $30000 = $6000 more than Laurel's. So, Kendra's total sales for 2015 was $30000 + $6000 = $36000. If Kendra made $8000 less in 2014 than Laurel, she made $30000 - $8000 = $22000 in that year. The total amount of money Kendra made in the two years is $22000 + $36000 = $58000.
The answer: 58000
What was the question?
Question: Kendra and Laurel have shops that sell different brands of shoe collections. In 2014, Kendra made $8000 less than Laurel made in sales.

Reasoning and answer: Jenny spent 1 - 3 / 7 = 4 / 7 of her money. Since 4 / 7 is equal to $24, then 1 / 7 is equal to $24 / 4 = $6. So, Jenny originally had $6 x 7 = $42. Therefore, half of her original amount of money is $42 / 2 = $21.
The answer: 21
What was the question?
Question:
Jenny had $24 left after spending 3/7 of her money. How much is half of her original amount of money?
