Reasoning and answer: On Thursday he washed 6 * 2 = 12 loads of laundry. On Friday he washed 12 / 2 = 6 loads of laundry. On Saturday he washed 6 / 3 = 2 loads of laundry. In total he washed 6 + 12 + 6 + 2 = 26 loads of laundry.
The answer: 26

Question: Vincent’s washer broke so he had to go to the laundromat. On Wednesday he washed six loads of clothes. The next day he had time to wash double the number of loads he did the day before. On Friday he had a test and could only manage half of the loads he did on Thursday. On Saturday the laundromat closed at noon and he could only wash a third of the loads of laundry he did on Wednesday. How many loads of laundry had he washed that week?


Let’s first calculate what remains to be paid to Mr. Lalande once he leaves the store 18000 - 3000 = 15000£. Let’s split this sum into 6 month installments: 15000 / 6 = 2500£.
The answer: 2500
Reverse engineering the question: Mr. Lalande inherited 20,000 euros from his old aunt Adeline. He is very happy because he will be able to afford the car of his dreams, a superb car worth 18000 €. He goes to the dealership and tries the car. He decides to take it, but instead of paying for everything right away, he chooses to pay in several installments. He pays 3,000 euros to be able to leave with the car and the seller offers to let him pay the rest in 6 monthly installments. How much does Mr. Lalande have to pay every month?


Reasoning and answer: First double the initial temperature: 40 degrees * 2 = 80 degrees. Then reduce that amount by 30 to reflect the dad's change: 80 degrees - 30 degrees = 50 degrees. Then multiply that number by 30% to find how much Jerry's mother reduces the temperature: 50 degrees * .3 = 15 degrees. Now subtract 15 degrees from 50 degrees to find the temperature after the mother's change: 50 degrees - 15 degrees = 35 degrees. Finally, add 24 degrees to find the final temperature: 35 degrees + 24 degrees = 59 degrees.
The answer: 59

Question: Jerry wakes up one morning and finds the thermostat set to 40 degrees. He set it to double the initial temperature. His dad notices, yells at Jerry, and reducing the temperature by 30 degrees. Later, Jerry's mother reduces the temperature by 30%, before his sister increases it by 24 degrees.

When he gave Rodney 2 / 5 of the bunnies, he gave away 2 / 5 * 30 = 12 bunnies. He remained with 30 - 12 = 18 bunnies. When the bunnies gave birth to two kittens each, the total number of kittens born is 18 * 2 = 36. In total, Marlon now has 36 + 18 = 54 bunnies.
The answer: 54
Reverse engineering the question: Marlon had 30 female baby bunnies in his hutch. They matured after four months, and he gave 2/5 of them to his friend Rodney. If after another three months the bunnies conceived and gave birth to 2 kittens each, calculate the total number of bunnies Marlon has in his hutch now.


Reasoning and answer: Since Onur bikes 250 kilometers in a day, he bikes 5 * 250 = 1250 kilometers for five days in a week. Onur's friend Hanil bikes 40 more kilometers in a day than Onur, meaning he bikes for 250 + 40 = 290 kilometers. In five days of the week, Hanil covers 290 * 5 = 1450 kilometers. In total, the two bikes for 1450 + 1250 = 2700 kilometers in 5 days of a week.
The answer: 2700

Reasoning and answer: She gives the boy she likes 10 stickers. After giving the boy his stickers, she has 100 – 10 = 90 stickers left. She gives her best friends 90 / 2 = 45 stickers. This leaves Clara with 90 – 45 stickers = 45 stickers.
The answer: 45
