His ice cream is $6 because 3 x 2 = 6. His mom's is $8 because 4 x 2 = 8. The total is $14 because 6 + 8 = 14.
The answer: 14
Reverse engineering the question: Pierre decides to bring his mother out for ice cream. His treat. Each scoop is $2. If he gets 3 scoops and his mom gets 4, what is the total bill?


Reasoning and answer: There were an average of 40 + 50 = 90 apples. And, there were 30 + 40 = 70 oranges. Thus, Wendy gained 90 x $1.50 = $135 for selling apples. And, she gained an additional 70 x $1 = $70 for selling oranges. Therefore, her total sales for the day is $135 + 70 = $205.
The answer: 205
What was the question?
Question: Wendy is a fruit vendor, and she sells an apple at $1.50 each and one orange at $1. In the morning, she was able to sell an average of 40 apples and 30 oranges. In the afternoon, she was able to sell 50 apples and 40 oranges. How much are her total sales for the day?


Cristian eats 3 / 4 * 80 = 60 white cookies from the jar, 3 / 4 of the total number of white cookies in the cookie jar. The number of white cookies remaining in the cookie jar is 80 - 60 = 20. In his cookie jar, Cristian also has 80 + 50 = 130 black cookies. He eats 1 / 2 * 130 = 65 black cookies from the cookie jar. He remains with 130 - 65 = 65 black cookies after eating half of them. In total, Cristian has 65 + 20 = 85 cookies remaining in the jar.
The answer: 85
Reverse engineering the question: Cristian has 50 more black cookies in his cookie jar than white cookies. He eats half of the black cookies and 3/4 of the white cookies. If he initially had 80 white cookies, how many cookies are remaining within the cookie jar altogether?

What was the question?
Question: Melissa is repairing her shoes. For each shoe, it takes her 5 minutes to replace the buckle and 10 minutes to even out the heel. How many minutes does Melissa spend on this project total?


Brayden and Gavin scored 7 touchdowns * 7 points each = 49 points. Cole and Freddy scored 9 touchdowns * 7 points each = 63 points. Cole and Freddy's team had 63 - 49 points = 14 points more than Brayden and Gavin's team.
The answer: 14
