Reasoning and answer: Tamika drove 8 hours * 45 mph = 360 miles. Logan drove 5 hours * 55 mph = 275 miles. 360 - 275 = 85 miles. Tamika drove 85 miles farther.
The answer: 85

Question: Tamika drove for 8 hours at an average speed of 45 miles per hour. Logan drove for 5 hours at 55 miles an hour. How many miles farther did Tamika drive?


Connie spent 10 tickets on earbuds + 15 tickets on glow bracelets = 25 tickets. Since Connie spends half of her tickets on a stuffed koala bear, that means the 25 tickets she spent on earbuds and glow bracelets is the other half, so she spent 25 tickets on the stuffed koala bear. In all, Connie spent 25 tickets on earbuds and glow bracelets + 25 tickets on a stuffed koala bear = 50 tickets.
The answer: 50
Reverse engineering the question: Connie redeemed all her arcade tickets today. She spent half of them on a stuffed koala bear. She spent 10 tickets on a pair of earbuds. She spent another 15 tickets on glow bracelets. How many tickets did Connie redeem today?


Reasoning and answer: Matthew rode 350 feet to the first sign, so there are 1000 - 350 = 650 feet between the first sign and the end. After passing the second sign Matthew road 275, so 650 - 275 = 375 feet remain.
The answer: 375

Question: Matt rode his bike away from the house, he rode a total of 1000 feet. Along the way, he passed a stop sign that was 350 feet away from his house. He continued his ride and passed a second sign. After passing the second sign he road an additional 275 feet. How many feet are between the first and second signs?


Twice the number of pigs is 10 x 2 = 20. So, Hannah's family has 20 - 3 = 17 cows. They also have 17 + 6 = 23 goats. So, they have a total of 10 + 17 + 23 = 50 animals on their farm.
The answer: 50
Reverse engineering the question: Hannah's family has ten pigs on their farm. They also have three fewer than twice as many cows as pigs and six more goats than cows. How many animals do they have on their farm?


Reasoning and answer: First, calculate how many square feet of road Mark needs to cover by multiplying the length by the width: 2000 feet * 20 feet = 40,000 sq ft. Then divide the square footage of road by the number of square feet each truckload will cover: 40,000 sq ft / 800 sq ft / truckload = 50 truckloads. Now multiply the number of truckloads by the cost per truckload: $75 / truckload * 50 truckloads = $3750. Now calculate the sales tax by multiplying $3750 by 20%: $3750 * .2 = $750. Now add the sales tax to the cost of the asphalt to find the total: $750 + $3750 = $4500.
The answer: 4500

Question: Mark is buying asphalt to pave a new section of road. The road will be 2000 feet long and 20 feet wide. Each truckload of asphalt will cover 800 square feet of road. If each truckload costs $75, and there's a 20% sales tax, how much will Mark need to pay for asphalt?


Reasoning and answer: First, find the price of the sandwiches $5 per sandwich * 18 sandwiches = $90. Now add in the delivery fee $90 + $20 = $110. Now the tip $110 * 0.10 = $11. Add the tip to the price of the sandwiches $110 + $11 = $121 in total.
The answer: 121
