Reasoning and answer: When she picks 1 / 4 of the number of tomatoes, she goes home with 1 / 4 * 100 = 25 tomatoes. The total number of tomatoes remaining will be 100 - 25 = 75 tomatoes. After picking 20 more tomatoes the following week, the number of tomatoes remaining is 75 - 20 = 55 tomatoes. The next week she picks twice the number she picked the previous week, that is 20 * 2 = 40 tomatoes. The total number of tomatoes remaining after the final picking is 55 - 40 = 15 tomatoes.
The answer: 15

Question: A tomato plant has 100 tomatoes. Jane picks 1/4 of that number for use in their house. After a week, she goes back and picks 20 more tomatoes, and the following week picks twice that number. What's the total number of fruits remaining on the tomato plant?


60 x 3 / 4 = 45 females are married which means there are also 45 married males. If 1 / 4 of the men are married, which represents 45 men, then 4 * 45 = 180 is the total number of men who attended the party. Thus, there are a total of 60 women and 180 men, or a total of 60 + 180 = 240 people at the party.
The answer: 240
Reverse engineering the question: There were 60 women at the party, and three-fourths of these women were married and brought their husbands with them to the party. If 3/4 of the men at the party were single, how many people attended the party?


Reasoning and answer: She sold 60 * 1.50 = 90 boxes on Sunday. The total is 60 + 90 = 150 boxes.

The gum cost $1.5 / 2 = $.75 per pack. So he pays $.75 * 2 = $1.5 for the gum. He pays $1.5 * 3 = $4.5 for the candy bars. So in total, he pays $1.5 + $4.5 = $6.
The answer: 6
Reverse engineering the question: John buys 2 packs of gum and 3 candy bars. Each stick of gum cost half as much as the candy bar. If the candy bar cost $1.5 each, how much did he pay in total?


Reasoning and answer: Kylie makes 10 + 2 = 12 beaded necklaces. The number of beads used for the necklaces is 12 * 20 = 240 beads. The number of beads used for the bracelets is 5 * 10 = 50 beads. The number of beads used for the earrings is 7 * 5 = 35 beads. The total number of beads used is 240 + 50 + 35 = 325 beads.
