Reasoning and answer: Tommy has a total of 20 x 3 = 60 kilograms of tomatoes. Only 60 - 3 = 57 kilograms can be sold. His earnings for the tomatoes will be $342. Thus, his profit will be $342 - $330 = $12.

He drives 75 * 10 = 750 miles. So he uses 750 / 50 = 15 gallons. That means he spends 15 * 3 = $45 on gas.
The answer: 45
Reverse engineering the question: Toms car gets 50 miles to the gallon. He drives 75 miles per day. If gas is $3 per gallon how much does he spend on gas in 10 days?


Reasoning and answer: Jill's second customer buys 4 times more than her first customer's 5 boxes, so they buy 4 * 5 = 20 boxes. Jill's third customer buys half of what her second customer bought, so that means they buy 20 / 2 = 10 boxes. Jill's fourth customer buys 3 times as many as what her third customer bought, so that means they buy 10 * 3 = 30 boxes. Adding in the 5 boxes sold to the first customer, and the 10 boxes sold to the last one, that means Jill has sold 5 + 10 + 20 + 10 + 30 = 75 boxes. Since Jill's goal is 150 boxes sold, and she's only sold 75 so far, she needs to sell 150 - 75 = 75 more boxes to hit her goal.
The answer: 75
