Reasoning and answer: First find how many texts Jennifer's boyfriend sent asking why she wasn't responding: 5 texts * 5 = 25 texts. Then add that number to the number of grocery shopping texts: 25 texts + 5 texts = 30 texts. Then multiply that number by 10% to find how many texts he sent about calling the police: 30 texts * 10% = 3 texts. Then added how many texts of each kind he sent to find the total number of texts he sent: 3 texts + 30 texts = 33 texts.
The answer: 33
What was the question?
Question: Jennifer's boyfriend left 5 texts about the grocery shopping, 5 times more texts asking why she wasn't responding, and a number of texts equal to 10% of all the texts he sent previously saying he was calling the police. How many texts did he send total?


First multiply the chance of each event happening to find the chance they both happen: 40% * 25% = 10%. Then subtract that percentage from 100% to find the percentage of the time Jake doesn't drop his coffee: 100% - 10% = 90%.
The answer: 90
Reverse engineering the question: Jake trips over his dog 40% percent of mornings. 25% of the time he trips, he drops his coffee. What percentage of mornings does he NOT drop his coffee?


Reasoning and answer: Francis bought 2 × $2 = $4 worth of muffins. Francis bought 2 × $3 = $6 worth of fruit cups. Kiera bought 2 × $2 = $4 worth of muffins. Kiera bought 1 × $3 = $3 worth of fruit cups. Their breakfast cost $4 + $6 + $4 + $3 = $17 in total.
The answer: 17
What was the question?
Question: Francis and Kiera had breakfast at a cafe. Muffins cost $2 each, and fruit cups cost $3 each. Francis had 2 muffins and 2 fruit cups. Kiera had 2 muffins and 1 fruit cup. How much did their breakfast cost?


2 dozen eggs means 2 x 12 = 24 eggs. 3 x 2 = 6 eggs cracked. The remaining eggs still in perfect condition is 24 - 3 - 6 = 15. The difference between the perfect eggs and cracked eggs is 15 - 6 = 9 eggs.
The answer: 9
Reverse engineering the question: Megan bought 2 dozen eggs. As she was walking to her car, she dropped a tray of eggs. 3 eggs broke, and twice as many cracked. What is the difference between the eggs that are still in perfect condition and those that are cracked?


Reasoning and answer: The first mission took 5 * .6 = 3 days longer than anticipated. So it took 5 + 3 = 8 days. That means the two missions took 8 + 3 = 11 days.
The answer: 11
What was the question?
Question: John went on a mission that was supposed to take 5 days. Instead it took 60% longer. He then had to go on a second mission which took 3 days. How long was he on missions?


Reasoning and answer: After first hour, 50 * 2 = 100 ants. After the second hour, 100 * 2 = 200 ants. After the third hour, 200 * 2 = 400 ants. After the fourth hour, 400 * 2 = 800 ants. After the fifth hour, 800 * 2 = 1600 ants.
The answer: 1600
