There are 3 million women in Los Angeles because 6,000,000 / 2 = 3,000,000. 1,000,000 women work in retail because 3,000,000 x (1 / 3) = 1,000,000.
The answer: 1000000
Reverse engineering the question: Los Angeles has 6 million people living in it. If half the population is women and 1/3 of the women work in retail, how many women work in retail in Los Angeles?


Reasoning and answer: He sells the woodburning for 20 * 15 = $300. So he makes a profit of 300 - 100 = $200.
The answer: 200
What was the question?
Question: John sells 20 woodburning for $15 each. The wood cost $100. How much does he make in profit?


Teal sells 8 x 4 = 32 pumpkin slices. She sells 6 x 5 = 30 custard slices. Pumpkin pie slice sales make 32 x $5 = $160. Custard pie slice sales make 30 x $6 = $180. Total amount of money she makes is $160 + $180 = $340.
The answer: 340
Reverse engineering the question: In her bakery, Teal sells pumpkin pie and custard pie by the slice. The pumpkin pie is cut into 8 pieces. The custard pie is cut into 6 pieces. Pumpkin pie is $5 a slice. Custard pie is $6 a slice. If Teal sells 4 pumpkin pies and 5 custard pies, how much money does she make from her sales?


Reasoning and answer: The sum of Yuri's dice gave, 2 + 4 + 5 = 11 squares. For Yuko to get the same sum in the dice, 1 + 5 + X = 11 squares. Solving the equation, X = 11 - 6, X = 5 squares. To stand in front of his brother, Yuko needs to be at least 1 place in front, so his last die will move him, 5 + 1 = 6 squares.
The answer: 6
What was the question?
Question: Yuko likes to play board games. He decides to play a game with his brother Yuri. They must roll 3 dice at the same time and move the squares corresponding to the value of the 3 dice. Yuri started and his dice had the following combination: 2, 4, and 5. On Yuko's turn, he rolled 1, 5, and X. How many squares must Yuko's last die move him so that he is in front of his brother?


Initially, a backpack cost was $50; when it increased by $5, the price became $50 + $5 = $55. The price of a ring - binder $20, when it reduced by $2, the price became $20 - $2 = $18. If she wanted to buy 3 ring - binders, she spent $18 * 3 = $54. In total, Julieta spent $55 + $54 = $109.
The answer: 109
Reverse engineering the question: Julieta went to the store to buy a backpack and three ring-binders for her school supplies. She knew the backpack was $50, and each ring-binder cost was $20. However, at the store, she found out that the price of a back had increased by $5, and the price of a ring-binder had reduced by $2. Calculate the total amount of money Julieta spent at the store.


Each minute last 60 seconds, so that means for the fries to be fully cooked Bill needs to cook them for 5 * 60 = 300 seconds. Since Bill had the fries in the oven for 45 seconds so far, that means they need to stay in the oven for another 300 - 45 = 255 seconds.
The answer: 255
Reverse engineering the question:
Bill put his french fries in the oven after it finished heating. The recommended time was 5 minutes for them to be fully cooked. He put them in for 45 seconds. How many seconds remained?
