Movie tickets cost for two people is $8 x 2 = $16. The sisters will receive change of $25 - $16 = $9.
The answer: 9
Reverse engineering the question: Two sisters go to the movies. Movie tickets are $8 per person. If the sisters brought $25 with them, how much change will they receive after buying the tickets?

Kylie had 5 + 9 = 14 daisies. She has 14 / 2 = 7 daisies left.
The answer: 7
Reverse engineering the question: Kylie has 5 daisies. Her sister gave her another 9 daisies. Kylie then gave half her daisies to her mother. How many daisies does Kylie have left?

Ken's house is twice as far from Dawn's house as Mary's, so the distance between Ken's and Mary's is half that between Ken's and Dawn's (4 miles) which means the former is (1 / 2) * 4 miles = 2 miles. If Ken goes from his house to Dawn's, he has covered 4 miles. He goes from there to Mary's (2 miles, same as Ken's to Mary's) for a total of 4 + 2 = 6 miles. He goes back to Dawn's (another 2 miles) for a total of 6 + 2 = 8 miles. Then he goes to his own house (4 miles) for a final total of 8 + 4 = 12 miles.
The answer: 12
Reverse engineering the question: If Ken's house is twice as far from Dawn's house as Mary's house along a certain road, and Ken's house is 4 miles away from Dawn's house along this same road, how much distance (in miles) will Ken cover if he goes from his house to Dawn's house, then Mary's, then back to Dawn's before going back to his own house?

Two times the number of puppies is 32 * 2 = 64 kittens. There are 64 + 14 = 78 kittens.
