Let "x" be the cost in dollars of the Taco Grande Plate. Since twice the cost of John's Taco Plate equals the cost of Mike's Taco Plate plus added items, then 2x = x + 2 + 4 + 2. Simplifying the equation, we get 2x = x + 8. Subtracting x from each side of the equation, we are left with x = 8 dollars as the cost of the Taco Grande Plate. Thus the combined total cost of Mike and John's lunch is 8 + 8 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 24 dollars.
The answer: 24
Reverse engineering the question: Mike and John dined at the Taco Palace restaurant. They each ordered the Taco Grande Plate as their main meal, but Mike also ordered a side salad for $2, a plate of cheesy fries for $4, and a diet cola for $2. As a result, Mike's lunch bill was twice as large as John's bill. What was the combined total cost, in dollars, of Mike and John's lunch?


Reasoning and answer: Let X be the price of a child ticket. So the price of an adult ticket is X * 2. We know from the problem that 400 * X * 2 + 200 * X = 16,000. After multiplying, we have 800 * X + 200 * X = 16,000. Combining like terms, we have 1000 * X = 16,000. Dividing both sides by 1000, we have X = $16. The price of an adult ticket is $16 * 2 = $32.
The answer: 32

Dresses = 5.5 * 4 = 22 yards. 22 yards = 66 feet. 66 - 7 = 59. Amare still needs 59 feet of fabric.
The answer: 59
Reverse engineering the question: One dress requires 5.5 yards of fabric. Amare needs to make 4 dresses for the wedding and she has 7 feet of fabric. How many feet of fabric does Amare still need for the dresses?


Reasoning and answer: Samantha spends $4 x 2 = $8 on washing. Each dryer costs 25 x 4 = 100 cents = $1. Three dryers cost 1 x 3 = $3. Altogether, she spends 8 + 3 = $11.
The answer: 11
