Reasoning and answer: If it was 10 degrees hotter on this day in Miami than in New York, then the temperature in Miami was 80 + 10 = 90 degrees. If it was 25 degrees cooler in Miami than in San Diego, then the temperature in San Diego was 90 + 25 = 115 degrees. The total temperature for all the cities is 115 + 90 + 80 = 285 degrees. The average temperature of the three cities is 285 / 3 = 95 degrees.
The answer: 95

Question: The temperature in New York in June 2020 was 80 degrees. If the temperature in Miami on this day was 10 degrees hotter than the temperature in New York, and 25 degrees cooler than the temperature in San Diego, what was the average temperature for the three cities?


The pens and pencils were $1.00 each so 2 * 1 = $2.00. The back pack cost $15 and the pens / pencils cost $2.00 so 15 + 2 = $17.00. His total spent was $32 and he has already spend $17 so 32 - 17 = $15.00. That means he has $15 left to spend on 5 notebooks so the cost would be 15 / 5 = $3.00 each.
The answer: 3
Reverse engineering the question: Dan spent $32 buying a new backpack, 1 pack of pens, 1 pack of pencils and 5 multi-subject notebooks for school. If the backpack costs $15 and both the pens and pencils cost $1.00 each, how much did each notebook cost?


Reasoning and answer: He needs to earn $150 more dollars because 500 - 200 - 150 = 150. He needs to sell 20 games because 150 / 7.5 = 20.

What was the question?
Question: Percy wants to save up for a new PlayStation, which costs $500. He gets $200 on his birthday and $150 at Christmas. To make the rest of the money, he's going to sell his old PlayStation games for $7.5 each. How many games does he need to sell to reach his goal?


Her oldest wants 2 strings cheeses a day for 5 days so 2 * 5 = 10 string cheeses. Her youngest wants 1 string cheese a day for 5 days so 1 * 5 = 5 string cheeses. Together they want 10 + 5 = 15 string cheeses a week. Over 4 weeks, her kids will eat 15 string cheeses so 4 * 15 = 60 string cheeses. The bags have 30 per pack and she needs 60 so 60 / 30 = 2 packs of string cheese.
The answer: 2
Reverse engineering the question: Kelly puts string cheeses in her kids lunches 5 days per week. Her oldest wants 2 every day and her youngest will only eat 1. The packages come with 30 string cheeses per pack. How many packages of string cheese will Kelly need to fill her kids lunches for 4 weeks?


Four hats, each with three stripes, is 4 * 3 = 12 stripes. Three hats with four stripes each is 3 * 4 = 12 stripes. Six hats with no stripes is 6 * 0 = 0 stripes. And two hats with 5 stripes each is 2 * 5 = 10 stripes. The combined total number of stripes Vaishali has on all of her hats is 12 + 12 + 0 + 10 = 34 stripes.
The answer: 34
