Lee has 5 * 2 = 10 jellybeans. Tino has 10 + 24 = 34 jellybeans.
The answer: 34
Reverse engineering the question: Tino has 24 more jellybeans than Lee. Arnold has half as many jellybeans as Lee. If Arnold has 5 jellybeans, how many jellybeans does Tino have?


Reasoning and answer: The first person had 1 / 4 of all his teeth removed, a total of 1 / 4 * 32 = 8 teeth. The second person had 3 / 8 of his teeth removed, meaning 3 / 8 * 32 = 12 of his teeth were removed. Together, the first and the second person had 12 + 8 = 20 teeth removed in total. The third person had half of his teeth removed, which were 1 / 2 * 32 = 16 teeth. The first three people had a total of 20 + 16 = 36 teeth removed from their mouth. The last person only had 4 teeth removed, bringing the total number of teeth removed at the dentist clinic to be 36 + 4 = 40 teeth.
The answer: 40

Question: Four adults with 32 teeth went to the dentist for a checkup after realizing they were having severe tooth pain. They were found to have different numbers of damaged teeth, and each person had some teeth removed. The first person had 1/4 of all his teeth removed, and the second person had 3/8 of his teeth removed, the third person had half of his teeth removed, while the last person only had 4 teeth removed. What's the total number of teeth removed at the dental clinic?


Mary took 10 + 6 = 16 chickens. John took 16 + 5 = 21 chickens. John took 21 - 10 = 11 more chickens than Ray.
The answer: 11
Reverse engineering the question: The Grey's bought several chickens at a sale. John took 5 more of the chickens than Mary took. Ray took 6 chickens less than Mary. If Ray took 10 chickens, how many more chickens did John take than Ray?


Reasoning and answer: First find the number of cheaper coats Karen will have to purchase over 30 years: 30 years / 5 years / coat = 6 coats. Then multiply that number by the cost of one cheaper coat to find the total cost of that option: 6 coats * $120 / coat = $720. Then find the number of more expensive coats Karen will have to purchase over 30 years: 30 years / 15 years / coat = 2 coats. Then multiply that number by the cost of one expensive coat to find the total cost of that option: 2 coats * $300 / coat = $600. Then subtract the total cost of the more expensive coats from the total cost of the less expensive coats to find the difference: $720 - $600 = $120.
The answer: 120
What was the question?
Question: Karen is considering her winter coat options. One coast costs $300 and will last for 15 years. The other coat costs $120 and will last for five years. How much money would Karen save over 30 years by buying the more expensive cost?


There are 30 games total because 20 + 10 = 30. They need to win 20 games because 30 x (2 / 3) = 20. The need to win 8 more games because 20 - 12 = 8.
The answer: 8
Reverse engineering the question: The Giants baseball team is trying to make their league playoff. They have played 20 games and won 12 of them. To make the playoffs, they need to win 2/3 of their games over the season. If there are 10 games left, how many do they have to win to make the playoffs?


Matt is 11 x 4 = 44 years old now. In 2 years, Matt will be 44 + 2 = 46 years old. In 2 years, Fem will be 11 + 2 = 13 years old. So, the sum of their ages in two years is 46 + 13 = 59 years old.
The answer: 59
