Question: At a flea market, Hillary sells handmade crafts for 12 dollars per craft. Today, Hillary sells 3 crafts and is given an extra 7 dollars from an appreciative customer. Later on, Hillary deposits 18 dollars from today's profits into her bank account. How many dollars is Hillary left with after making the deposit?
Stream-of-consciousness: Hillary sells 3 crafts for 12 dollars each, for a total of 3 crafts * $12 / craft = $36. She receives an extra 7 dollars from a customer, increasing the total to $36 + $7 = $43. She then deposits 18 dollars in the bank, leaving her with $43 - $18 = $25.
