The second show sold 200 * 3 = 600 tickets. So there were a total of 200 + 600 = 800 tickets sold. That means they made 800 * 25 = $20,000.
The answer: 20000
Reverse engineering the question: A show debut and 200 people buy tickets. For the second showing three times as many people show up. If each ticket cost $25 how much did the show make?


Reasoning and answer: There are 2 passengers and a driver in each car, which means that in each car there are 2 passengers + 1 driver = 3 people. This means there are a total of 20 cars * 3 people per car = 60 people in the car at the start of the race. At the halfway point, there is an additional 20 cars * 1 additional passenger = 20 more people. So be the end of the race, there are 60 people at the start of the race + 20 additional people = 80 people in the cars.
The answer: 80
What was the question?
Question: There are 20 cars lined up at a race. Each of the cars have 2 passengers and a driver, then when the cars go past the race’s halfway point, each car gains another passenger. The cars then continue racing, and the race finishes once every single car has passed the finish line. People who get into the cars have to stay inside of them until the race is finished. How many people are in the cars by the end of the race?


40 people were roller skating and they all had 2 feet which means there were 40 * 2 = 80 feet. Each foot needs a roller skate and each roller skate has 4 wheels so 80 * 4 = 320 wheels when everyone skated.
The answer: 320
Reverse engineering the question: On the last night that roller skate rink was open, 40 people showed up to roller skate one last time. When all 40 people skated at one time, how many wheels were on the floor?


Reasoning and answer: Corveus lacks 6 - 4 = 2 hours of sleep every day. Therefore, Corveus' total hours of lack of sleep every week is 2 x 7 = 14.
The answer: 14
What was the question?
Question: Corveus sleeps 4 hours a day and his doctor recommended for him to sleep 6 hours a day. How many hours of sleep does Corveus lack in a week?


The total amount of money that Vivienne gets from selling her phones is 40 * 400 = 16000. Since Aliyah has 10 more phones than Vivienne, she has 40 + 10 = 50 phones. When she sells her phones, Aliyah receives 50 * $400 = $20000. Together they have $20000 + $16000 = $36000.
The answer: 36000
Reverse engineering the question: Aliyah has 10 more phones than her sister Vivienne. If Vivienne has 40 phones, and the two sisters sell their phones at $400 each, calculate the total amount of money they have together?


Mara spent $2 x 2 = $4 for riding the bumper car two times. Riley spent $4 x 4 = $16 for riding the space shuttle 4 times. They spent $5 x 3 = $15 each riding the Ferris wheel 3 times. So, they spent a total of $15 x 2 = $30 riding the Ferris wheel. Therefore the total amount they spent at the carnival is $4 + $16 + $30 = $50.
The answer: 50
Reverse engineering the question:
Mara and Riley went to a carnival, Mara rode the bumper car two times, Riley rode the space shuttle four times, and they both rode the Ferris wheel three times. If a ticket for a bumper car cost $2, a ticket for a space shuttle cost $4, and a ticket for a Ferris wheel cost $5, how much money did they spend?
