Reasoning and answer: Since Cristian's house has ten rooms, he painted 3 / 5 * 10 = 6 rooms with green color. The number of rooms he painted with purple is 10 - 6 = 4 rooms. Since each room in the house has eight walls, the number of walls painted purple is 8 * 4 = 32.
The answer: 32

Question: Johan has a ten-bedroom house with 8 walls in each room. He paints 3/5 of the rooms in the house green and paints the rest of the rooms with purple color. How many walls in the house did he paint purple?


At present, the two brothers have a combined age of 8 + 12 = 20 years old. Therefore, 1 year means an increase in the sum of their ages by 1 * 2 = 2 years. Adam and Tom need a total of 44 - 20 = 24 more years to be 44 years old together. So both brothers will be 44 years old together after 24 / 2 = 12 years.
The answer: 12
Reverse engineering the question: Adam and Tom are brothers. Adam is 8 years old and Tom is 12 years old. In how many years will their combined age be 44 years old?


Reasoning and answer: The book is $5 more expensive than the necklace, which means the book costs 34 + 5 = $39. Both products which Bob wants to buy cost in total 39 + 34 = $73. So Bob will spend 73 - 70 = $3 over the limit.
The answer: 3

Question: One necklace is worth $34. Bob decided to buy one for his wife. But, he also bought a book, which is $5 more expensive than the necklace. Before he went shopping, Bob set a limit and decided not to spend more than $70. How many dollars over the "limit" did Bob spend?


After paying off the cost of ingredients, Andrew has $400 - $100 = $300. Since half of the money goes to the homeless shelter, the shelter receives $300 / 2 = $150. After contributing some of his own money, Andrew donates $150 + $10 = $160 to the shelter.
The answer: 160
Reverse engineering the question: Andrew holds a bake sale to fundraise for charity. The bake sale earns a total of $400. Andrew keeps $100 to cover the cost of ingredients. He donates half of the remaining total to the local homeless shelter, and the other half to the local food bank. Andrew also decides to donate $10 from his own piggy bank to the local homeless shelter. How much money in total does Andrew donate to the homeless shelter?


Reasoning and answer: Christian just mowed 4 yards at $5.00 each so he made 4 * 5 = $20.00. Sue just walked 6 dogs at $2.00 each so she made 6 * 2 = $12.00. Christian had $5.00 saved and just made $20.00 while Sue had $7.00 saved and just made $12.00 so together they had 5 + 20 + 7 + 12 = $44. The perfume cost $50.00 and they had $44.00 so they needed to make 50 - 44 = $6.00 more dollars.
The answer: 6
What was the question?
Question: Christian and Sue wanted to get a $50.00 bottle of perfume for their mom for her birthday. Christian had $5.00 saved up and Sue had $7.00. Christian then mowed 4 of his neighbors' yards, charging $5.00 each, while Sue walked 6 dogs for her neighbors, charging $2.00 per dog. How much more money will Christian and Sue need to make in order to buy the bottle of perfume for their mom?


Reasoning and answer: The Adidas purchase was 1 / 5 that of Skechers, therefore the Skechers cost 5 * 600 = 3000 dollars. Spending three times the cost of Adidas on Nike sneakers translates to 3 * 600 = 1800 dollars. All together, the three athletic - sneaker purchases cost Mimi 600 + 1800 + 3000 = 5400 dollars. Subtracting the amount spent on athletic sneakers from the total spent gives 8000 - 5400 = 2600 dollars. Mimi therefore spent 2600 dollars on clothes.
The answer: 2600

Mimi has decided to start going to the gym again. Over the weekend, she spent $8,000 on athletic sneakers and clothes. She spent thrice as much on Nike sneakers as she did on Adidas. What she spent on Adidas was 1/5 the cost of Skechers. If Mimi's Adidas sneakers purchase was $600, what amount did she spend on clothes?
