If in March the company produced 3000 masks, in April, after doubling the total mask production, the company produced 3000 * 2 = 6000 masks. In May, the company doubled its total mask production to 2 * 6000 = 12000. After doubling the production for June, the company was able to produce 2 * 12000 = 24000. By July, the company was producing a total of 2 * 24000 = 48000 masks.
The answer: 48000
Reverse engineering the question: The total mask production was doubled every month by a company after the outbreak of Coronavirus due to increased demand. If the company produced 3000 masks in March, calculate the total mask production of July.


Reasoning and answer: Ziggy gets 30 / 2 = 15 electropop song requests every night. There are 15 / 3 = 5 dance song requests every night. There are 5 - 3 = 2 oldies requests every night. Ziggy plays DJ’s choice 2 / 2 = 1 time every night. Thus, Ziggy gets 30 - 15 - 5 - 5 - 2 - 1 = 2 rap songs requested every night.
The answer: 2
What was the question?
Question: Ziggy is a club DJ. Typically, Ziggy gets 30 song requests every night. Half the songs requested are electropop. A third of that amount are requests for dance music. Five song requests are rock music, and song requests for oldies are three less in number than rock requests. Ziggy plays a DJ’s choice song half the number of times he plays an oldie. Ziggy also sometimes gets rap song requests. Typically, how many rap songs does Ziggy get requested every night?


Lauren sent 65 + 10 = 75 pieces of mail on Tuesday. He sent 75 - 5 = 70 pieces of mail on Wednesday. And sent 70 + 15 = 85 pieces of mail on Thursday. Therefore, he sent 65 + 75 + 70 + 85 = 295 pieces of mail.
The answer: 295
Reverse engineering the question: Lauren sent 65 pieces of mail on Monday, 10 more pieces of mail on Tuesday than on Monday, 5 fewer on Wednesday than on Tuesday, and 15 more pieces of mail on Thursday than on Wednesday. How many pieces of mail did Lauren send?


Reasoning and answer: The parrot knew 3 phrases when Georgina bought it, so it has learned 17 - 3 = 14 phrases from her. She has been teaching it 2 phrases a week, so she has had it 14 / 2 = 7 weeks. There are 7 days in a week, so Georgina has had the parrot for 7 * 7 = 49 days.
The answer: 49
What was the question?
Question: Georgina owns a parrot and is teaching it to speak. So far, the parrot knows seventeen phrases. If she is teaching it two phrases a week and it already knew three phrases when she bought it, how many days has Georgina had it?


Aston had torn and has now fixed a total of 150 pages on the floor / 25 pages per comic = 6 comics. Adding this to the comics that were never torn means there are 6 fixed comics + 5 untorn comics = 11 comics in the box of comics.
The answer: 11
Reverse engineering the question: Aston has accidentally torn apart his comics and needs to put all the pages back together. Each comic has 25 pages and Aston has found 150 pages on the floor. He puts his comics back together and adds them back into his box of comics. If there were already 5 untorn comics in the box, how many comics are now in the box of comics?


After keeping 15 cards, Rick had 130 cards - 15 cards = 115 cards left. The total number of cards given by Rick to his 8 friends was 8 friends x 12 cards / friend = 96 cards. There were 2 sisters x 3 cards / sister = 6 cards given to Rick's sisters. So, there were 96 cards + 6 cards = 102 cards left after Rick gave Miguel some cards. Therefore, 115 cards - 102 cards = 13 cards were given to Miguel.
The answer: 13
Reverse engineering the question:
Rick has 130 cards. He decided to only keep 15 cards and so he gave Miguel some of the cards. Then, he saw 8 friends and decided to give them 12 cards each, and the remaining cards were given equally to his 2 sisters. If each of Rick's sisters got 3 cards, how many cards did Rick give to Miguel?
