Reasoning and answer: Two dozen is 12 * 2 = 24. Eight less than two dozen bandages is 24 - 8 = 16 bandages. She needed two bandages on her left knee and three bandages on her right knee for a total of 2 + 3 = 5 bandages. Therefore, after Peggy finished putting bandages on her knees there were 16 - 5 = 11 bandages remaining in the box.
The answer: 11

Question: Peggy fell off her bike and skinned her knees. She needed two bandages on her left knee and three bandages on her right knee.

Let x represent the number of roosters. Number of hens:9x - 5. Total:9x - 5 + x = 75. 10x - 5 = 75. 10x = 80. x = 8. Number of hens: 9(8) - 5 = 67.
The answer: 67
Reverse engineering the question: A farm has 5 less than 9 times the amount of hens as roosters. If there are 75 total chickens, how many hens are there?


Reasoning and answer: Amelia picks 45 - 18 = 27 oranges. The total number of oranges that they pick is 45 + 27 = 72. George picks 15 + 5 = 20 apples. The total number of apples that they pick is 20 + 15 = 35. So, they pick 72 + 35 = 107 fruits altogether.
The answer: 107
What was the question?
Question: George and Amelia are picking oranges and apples at an orchard. George picks 45 oranges and 5 more apples than Amelia. Amelia picks 18 fewer oranges than George and 15 apples. How many fruits do they pick altogether?


American Summits donated 45 x 2 = 90 bottled waters. Hormel donated 45 x 3 = 135 spams. Boudin Bakery donated 135 x 1 / 3 = 45 sourdoughs. Del Monte Foods donated 90 - 30 = 60 canned fruits. Therefore, a total of 45 + 90 + 135 + 45 + 60 = 375 different food.
The answer: 375
Reverse engineering the question: Five food companies sponsored a local food bank. Foster Farms donated 45 dressed chickens; American Summits donated twice the number of bottled water than the number of dressed chicken donated by Foster Farms; Hormel donated three times the number of dressed chickens that Foster Farms donated; Boudin Butchers donated one-third of the number of dressed chickens that Hormel donated; Del Monte Foods donated 30 fewer bottles of water than American Summits. How many food items did the companies donate in total?


Reasoning and answer: The chef has served 58 - 35 = 23 children. The chef has served 23 x 2 = 46 seniors. Therefore, the total number of guests that the chef has served is 58 + 23 + 46 = 127.
The answer: 127
What was the question?
Question: A chef has served 58 adults, 35 fewer children than the number of adults, and twice as many seniors as children. What is the total number of guests served?


Reasoning and answer: If we add everything Phillip bought, we will have: $14 + $25 + $6 = $45. He spent $45, and we know that he had $95 dollars, so now we have to subtract: $95 - $45 = $50.
The answer: 50
What was the question?
Question:
Phillip's mother asked him to go to the supermarket to buy some things and gave him $95, so he spent $14 on oranges, $25 on apples and $6 on candy. How much money does he have left?
