Reasoning and answer: In an hour, the baker bakes 5 x 4 = 20 loaves of bread. From Monday to Friday, he bakes 5 x 20 = 100 loaves of bread per day. From Monday to Friday, he bakes a total of 100 x 5 = 500 loaves of bread. On Saturday and Sunday, he bakes 2 x 20 = 40 loaves of bread per day. On Saturday and Sunday, he bakes a total of 40 x 2 = 80 loaves of bread. In a week, he bakes 500 + 80 = 580 loaves of bread. In 3 weeks, he bakes 580 x 3 = 1740 loaves of bread.
The answer: 1740

Chelsea baked 4 batches of cupcakes x 20 minutes each = 80 minutes of baking. She iced 4 batches of cupcakes x 30 minutes each = 120 minutes. It took Chelsea 80 + 120 = 200 minutes to make the cupcakes for the bake sale.
The answer: 200
Reverse engineering the question: Chelsea made 4 batches of cupcakes for the bake sale. The cupcakes took 20 minutes to bake and 30 minutes to ice per batch. How long did it take Chelsea to make the cupcakes?


Reasoning and answer: Fred's barn started with 100 + 29 + 9 = 138 animals. Brian bought half of these, so there were 138 / 2 = 69 remaining. After Jeremy gifted Fred 37 goats, there were 69 + 37 = 106 animals in the barn. So, 106 / 2 = 53 of these animals are male.
The answer: 53

In a week, Edric's salary is $576 / 4 = $144. In a day, Edric earns $144 / 6 = $24. Thus, his hourly rate is $24 / 8 = $3.
The answer: 3
Reverse engineering the question: Edric's monthly salary is $576. If he works 8 hours a day for 6 days a week, how much is his hourly rate?


Reasoning and answer: For the first 183 days he drives 183 * 30 = 5490 miles. There are 365 - 183 = 182 days left in the year. He drives 35 * 182 = 6370 for those days. So in total he drives 5490 + 6370 = 11,860.
The answer: 11860
