Question: Joshua packs 12 bottles in each crate. He has a total of 130 bottles and 10 crates. How many bottles will not be placed in a crate?


The cost of the 200 employees is 200 employees * $12 / employee / hour = $2400 per hour. The cost of the 40 employees is 40 employees * $14 / employee / hour = $560 per hour. The rest means 300 employees - 200 employees - 40 employees = 60 employees. These 60 employees' employment costs are at 60 employees * $17 / employee / hour = $1020 per hour. So in total all employees earn $2400 / hour + $560 / hour + $1020 / hour = $3980 / hour. During an 8 - hour shift, this cost would be at 8 hours * $3980 / hour = $31840.
The answer: 31840
Reverse engineering the question: In a factory, there are 300 employees. 200 of them earn $12 per hour. Of the rest, 40 of them earn $14 per hour. All others earn $17 per hour. What is the cost to employ all these people for one 8-hour long shift?


Reasoning and answer: There are 60 x 1 / 6 = 10 blue chips. There are 10 + 34 = 44 chips that are not green. Thus, 60 - 44 = 16 chips are green.

If Legacy has 5 bars, Aleena has 5 bars - 2 bars = 3 bars. In total, they have 5 bars + 3 bars = 8 bars,. Since one bar of gold is worth $2200, the 8 bars they have together are worth 8 bars * $2200 / bar = $17600.
The answer: 17600
Reverse engineering the question: Legacy has 5 bars of gold she received from her father. Her friend Aleena has 2 bars fewer than she has. If a bar of gold is worth $2200, calculate the total value of gold the three have together.


Reasoning and answer: The last 3 students had an average completion time of 35 seconds so the sum of their completion times was 3 * 35 = 105 seconds. All 4 students (now including the student who came first) had an average completion time of 30 seconds, meaning the sum of their completion times is 4 * 30 = 120 seconds. The student who came first spent 120 - 105 = 15 seconds in the race.
The answer: 15
