In a day, Mr. Jesiah's total income from the sale of the milk is $3.55 / gallon * 200 gallons / day = $710 / day. In June, his total income is $710 / day * 30 days = $21300. The net income from the sale is $21300 - $3000 = $18300.
The answer: 18300
Reverse engineering the question: Mr. Jesiah is a dairy cow farmer with cows producing 200 gallons of milk every day. The expenses for maintenance of the dairy farm and purchase of feeds is $3000 per month. Calculate his total income in June if he sells 1 gallon of milk at $3.55.


Reasoning and answer: Altogether, there are 1 Erika + 3 siblings + 3 friends = 7 people drawing outside. The group has a total of 7 people * 3 pieces of chalk each = 21 pieces of chalk altogether. Before Erika’s mom helped, they had 21 total pieces of chalk - 12 pieces of chalk Erika’s mom brought = 9 pieces of chalk. Then adding the chalk that Erika lost shows that the group originally had 9 pieces of chalk + 2 lost pieces of chalk = 11 pieces of chalk.
The answer: 11
What was the question?
Question: Erika and her 3 siblings are drawing with chalk outside. Another 3 friends join them and ask if they can help with the drawing. Erika loses 2 pieces of chalk as they are counting and the group realizes there isn't enough chalk for everyone. Erika’s mom brings out another 12 pieces of chalk for them to share and there is now enough chalk for everyone to have 3 pieces each. How many pieces of chalk did Erika and her siblings originally have?


672 / 4 = 168 balloons. 168 * (1 / 2) = 84 balloons. Anya took 84 balloons home.
The answer: 84
Reverse engineering the question: There were 672 balloons that were either green, blue, yellow, or red. They were divided into equal groups and then Anya took half of the yellow ones home. How many balloons did Anya take home?


Reasoning and answer: If there are 4 hearts on a card, a standard deck of 52 playing cards will have 208 hearts. There are twice as many cows in Devonshire as there are hearts on a standard deck of 52 playing cards, meaning there are 2 * 208 = 416 cows in Devonshire. The total cost of the cows when they are sold at $200 each is 416 * $200 = $83200.
The answer: 83200
What was the question?
Question: There are twice as many cows in Devonshire as there are hearts on a standard deck of 52 playing cards. If there are 4 hearts on a card, calculate the total cost of the cows when they are sold at $200 each.


2 hamburgers cost 2 * 5 = $10. 3 bottles of cola cost 3 * 2 = $6. The total price without discount is 10 + 6 = $16. With the discount coupon, it's 16 - 4 = $12.
The answer: 12
Reverse engineering the question: Wilson goes to a fast-food restaurant. He buys 2 hamburgers for $5 each and 3 bottles of cola for $2 each. Wilson uses his $4 discount coupon. How much money does he pay in total?


First find the total number of times the wombats claw him: 9 wombats * 4 claws / wombat = 36 claws. Then add the number of times the rheas claw him to find the total: 36 claws + 3 claws = 39 claws.
The answer: 39

Carson leans over the railing at the zoo to get the perfect selfie and falls into the combined wombat and rhea enclosure. There are 9 wombats and 3 rheas. If each wombat claws him 4 times and each rhea claws him once, how many times does he get clawed?
