Twice the number of Aaron's brothers is 6 + 2 = 8. Aaron has 8 / 2 = 4 brothers.
The answer: 4
Reverse engineering the question: Aaron has some brothers. Bennett has 6 brothers. If the number of Bennett's brothers is two less than twice the number of Aaron's brothers, what is the number of Aaron's brothers?


Reasoning and answer: First find how much more Jerry charges to pierce one person's ears than their nose: $20 * 50% = $10. Then add that amount to the cost of nose piercing to find the total cost: $10 + $20 = $30. Then multiply that price by the number of ears he pierces to find his total earnings from ear - piercing: $30 / ear * 9 ears = $270. Then multiply the price of nose - piercing by the number of noses pierced: $20 / nose * 6 noses = $120. Then add the money from nose - piercing to the money from ear - piercing to find Jerry's total income: $120 + $270 = $390.
The answer: 390
What was the question?
Question: Jerry charges $20 to pierce someone's nose and 50% more to pierce their ears. If he pierces 6 noses and 9 ears, how much money does he make?


There are 55 - 30 = 25 girls at the track meet. There are (25 / 5) * 3 = 15 girls with long hair. There are 25 - 15 = 10 girls with short hair.
The answer: 10
Reverse engineering the question: There are 55 people at the track meet. 30 of them are boys, and the rest are girls. Three fifths of the girls have long hair, and the rest have short hair. How many girls have short hair?


Reasoning and answer: The total cost would be $900 x 30 stadiums = $27,000. Dividing the total cost by the amount Zach saves per year, we get $27,000 / $1,500 / year = 18 years.
The answer: 18
What was the question?
Question: There are 30 major league baseball stadiums. Zach has a goal to take his son to see at least one game at each one. He has calculated the average cost for them to travel and see a game will be $900 per stadium. Zach can save $1,500 per year for his baseball stadium trips. How many years will it take Zach to accomplish his goal?


Leila gave 2 * 25 = 50 toys. Mohamed’s donation was 3 * 19 = 57 toys. The difference is 57 - 50 = 7 toys. Mohamed therefore donated an additional 7 toys.
The answer: 7
Reverse engineering the question: Leila and Mohamed decided to donate their old toys to a children’s home. Leila gave 2 bags with 25 toys in each bag. Mohamed’s donation was 3 bags with 19 toys in each bag. How many more toys did Mohamed donate?


Since one out of every 3 rows will contain tomato plants, there will be 15 / 3 = 5 rows of tomato plants. This gives her enough room to plant 5 rows * 8 plants / row = 40 tomato plants. The plants will produce a total of 40 * 3 = 120 tomatoes.
The answer: 120

Aubrey is planting tomatoes and cucumbers in her garden. For each row of tomato plants, she is planting 2 rows of cucumbers. She has enough room for 15 rows of plants in total. There is enough space for 8 tomato plants in each row. If each plant produces 3 tomatoes, how many tomatoes will she have in total?
