[Question]Martha buys 1 latte for $4.00 every morning, 5 days a week. 3 days a week, she buys an iced coffee for $2.00. Her goal for the entire year is to cut her coffee spending by 25%. How much will she save?
[Answer]She buys a $4.00 latte in the morning for 5 days so that’s 4 * 5 = $20.00. She buys a $2.00 iced coffee 3 days a week so that’s 2 * 3 = $6.00. In one week she spends $20.00 on lattes and $6.00 on iced coffee for a total of 20 + 6 = $26.00. After 1 year, 52 weeks, she spends 52 * 26 = $1,352.00. She wants to cut her coffee spending by 25% so that will save her .25 * 1352 = $338.00. The answer is 338.

Question: Benny is baking pies for a bake sale. He plans to make ten pumpkin pies, which cost $3 each to make, and twelve cherry pies, which cost $5 each to make. If he wants to make a profit of $20 selling all the pies, how much does he have to charge for each pie if both kinds sell at the same price?
Answer: Benny will spend 3 * 10 = $30 to make the pumpkin pies. He will spend 5 * 12 = $60 to make the cherry pies. He wants to make a profit of $20, so he has to earn 30 + 60 + 20 = $110 selling all the pies. He is making 22 pies, so he needs to charge 110 / 22 = $5 per pie. The answer is 5.
