Question: Elizabeth uses $3.00 worth of ingredients to make a bag of granola. She makes 20 bags and sells them for $6.00 a bag at the farmer's market. An hour before closing, she has sold 15 bags and marks the remaining 5 bags down to $4.00 and sells them soon after. What is her net profit?
Answer: She uses $3.00 of ingredients per 1 bag of granola and she makes 20 bags so she spends 3 * 20 = $60.00 on ingredients. She sells 15 bags for $6.00 so she makes 15 * 6 = $90.00. She sells her last 5 bags for $4.00 so she makes 5 * 4 = $20.00. She made $90.00 and $20.00 for a total of 90 + 20 = $110.00. She made $110.00 but spent $60.00 on ingredients so her net profit is 110 - 60 = $50.00. The answer is 50.
[Question]Ann's favorite store was having a summer clearance. For $75 she bought 5 pairs of shorts for $7 each and 2 pairs of shoes for $10 each. She also bought 4 tops, all at the same price. How much did each top cost?
[Answer]She bought 5 shorts at $7 each so 5 * 7 = $35. She bought 2 pair of shoes at $10 each so 2 * 10 = $20. The shorts and shoes cost her 35 + 20 = $55. We know she spent 75 total and the shorts and shoes cost $55 which left a difference of 75 - 55 = $20. She bought 4 tops for a total of $20 so 20 / 4 = $5. The answer is 5.

[Question]Patsy is gearing up for this weekend’s graduation. She needs to have 6 appetizers per each of her 30 guests. She’s making 3 dozen deviled eggs, 2 dozen pigs in a blanket and 2 dozen kebabs. How many more dozen appetizers does she need to make?
[Answer]She needs 6 appetizers per each of her 30 guests so she needs 6 * 30 = 180 appetizers. She’s made 3 dozen deviled eggs, 2 dozen pigs in a blanket and 2 dozen kebabs so she’s made 3 + 2 + 2 = 7 dozen appetizers. 7 dozen appetizers is 7 * 12 = 84 appetizers. She needs 180 appetizers and has made 84 so she needs 180 - 84 = 96 appetizers. 96 appetizers, in dozens, is 96 / 12 = 8 dozen more appetizers. The answer is 8.
[Question]Terry's mom brought home 4 different colored dogs from the shelter. The brown dog weighs 4 pounds. The black dog weighs 1 pound more than the brown dog. The white dog weighs twice as much as the brown dog. The grey dog weighs 2 pounds less than the black dog. What's the average weight of all the dogs?
[Answer]
Since the black dog weighs 1 pound more than the brown dog, the black dog weighs 1 + 4 = 5 pounds. The white dog weighs 4 * 2 = 8 pounds. Because the grey dog weighs 2 pounds less than the black dog, the grey dog weighs 5 - 2 = 3 pounds. The total weight of all dogs is 4 + 5 + 8 + 3 = 20 pounds. The average weight of all the dogs is 20 / 4 = 5 pounds. The answer is 5.
