Question: In the honey shop, the bulk price of honey is $5 per pound and the minimum spend is $40 before tax. The honey is taxed at $1 per pound. If Penny has paid $240 for honey, by how many pounds has Penny’s purchase exceed the minimum spend?
Answer: Including tax, a pound of honey costs 5 + 1 = 6 dollars. The minimum purchase equals 40 / 5 = 8 pounds of honey. Penny has bought 240 / 6 = 40 pounds of honey. Penny has exceeded the minimum purchase by 40 - 8 = 32 pounds. The answer is 32.

Question: Myrtle’s 3 hens lay 3 eggs a day. She would be gone for 7 days and told her neighbor to take as many as they would like. The neighbor took 12 eggs. Once home, Myrtle collected the remaining eggs, dropping 5 on the way into her house. How many eggs does Myrtle have?
Answer:
She has 3 hens that lay 3 eggs a day so they lay 3 * 3 = 9 eggs a day. The hens lay 9 eggs a day and she wasn't able to collect them for 7 days so that means there are 9 * 7 = 63 eggs. Her neighbor took 12 off the 63 eggs so that leaves 63 - 12 = 51 eggs. Myrtle dropped 5 of the remaining 51 eggs so she has 51 - 5 = 46 eggs. The answer is 46.
