Reasoning and answer: Lilibeth picks 6 x 50 = 300 strawberries. There are 1 + 3 = 4 of them who are picking strawberries. Therefore, they pick a total of 300 x 4 = 1200 strawberries.
The answer: 1200

Question: Lilibeth and her friends go strawberry picking. Lilibeth fills 6 baskets where each basket holds 50 strawberries. If three of Lilibeth's friends pick the same amount as her, how many strawberries do Lilibeth and her friends pick in all?


Each year Tony has one more fish than before because 2 - 1 = 1. In five years, he will have 5 more fish because 5 x 1 = 5. In five years he will have 7 fish because 2 + 5 = 7.
The answer: 7
Reverse engineering the question: Tony has two fish. Every year, his parents buy him two more, but one of them dies. How many fish will he have in five years?


Reasoning and answer: First find how much soda Danny drank: 1 bottle * .9 = .9 bottles. Then find how much soda Danny gave to his friends: 2 friends * 1 bottle / friend * .7 = 1.4 bottles. Now subtract the soda drunk and given away to find the remaining amount of soda: 3 bottles - .9 bottles - 1.4 bottles = .7 bottles * 100% = 70%.
The answer: 70

Question: Danny has 3 bottles of soda. He drinks 90% of one bottle and gives 70% of the other two bottles to his friends. How much soda does Danny have left, expressed as a percentage of a bottle?


Jupiter appears 2 hours and 41 minutes after 12:10 AM, which can be calculated in two parts;. 2 hours after 12:10 AM is 12:10 + 2:00 = 2:10 AM. And an additional 41 minutes after 2:10 AM is 2:10 + 0:41 = 2:51 AM. Uranus appears 3 hours and 16 minutes after 2:51 AM, which can be calculated in two parts:. 3 hours after 2:51 AM is 2:51 + 3:00 = 5:51 AM. And 16 minutes after 5:51 AM is 5:51 + 0:16 = 5:67 AM = 6:07 AM. Thus, 6:07 AM is 7 minutes after 6:00 AM.
The answer: 7
Reverse engineering the question: This evening in the nighttime sky over Texas, Mars can be seen until 12:10 AM. Jupiter does not appear until 2 hours and 41 minutes later, and Uranus does not appear until 3 hours and 16 minutes after Jupiter makes its first appearance. How many minutes after 6:00 AM does Uranus first appear in the evening sky over Texas this evening?


Reasoning and answer: Since Randy wants to get an average of 94, then the sum of the 5 quizzes should be 94 x 5 = 470. The sum of Randy's score for the first four quizzes is 90 + 98 + 92 + 94 = 374. Thus, Randy needs to get 470 - 374 = 96 in his fifth quiz.
The answer: 96

Question: Randy got 90, 98, 92, and 94 in his first four quizzes. His goal is to get a 94 average on his 5 quizzes. What score should he get in the fifth quiz to reach his desired average?


Reasoning and answer: The items he returned were valued at $700 + $500 = $1200. So far he is out 3000 - 1200 = 1800 after recouping 1200. An item that is 20% more expensive cost 1 + .2 = 1.2 times as much as the item. So that means the bike he sold cost $500 * 1.2 = $600. He sold it for $600 * .8 = $480. From the bike that he had bought for 600, he was out 600 - 480 = 120. So far he is out 1800 + 120 = 1920. If he also bought a toaster worth 100, he was out 1920 + 100 = 2020.
The answer: 2020
