Question: Boris has 100 pieces of Halloween candy. His daughter eats 8 pieces of candy. He separates the remaining pieces of candy into equal portions into 4 different bowls. Then he takes away 3 pieces of candy from each bowl to keep for himself. How many pieces of candy are in one bowl?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: After his daughter eats some candy, Boris has 100 - 8 = 92 pieces of candy. In one bowl, there are 92 / 4 = 23 pieces of candy. After Boris takes some candy for himself, there are 23 - 3 = 20 pieces of candy in one bowl.
So the answer is 20.

Question: Melony makes $21 of profit every time she sells 3 shirts and four times as much profit when she sells two pairs of sandals. How much profit will she make if she sells 7 shirts and 3 pairs of sandals?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Melony makes $21 * 4 = $84 of profit for two pairs of sandals. Melony makes $84 / 2 pairs = $42 of profit per pair of shoes. Melony makes $21 / 3 shirts = $7 of profit per shirt. For seven shirts, Melony will make 7 shirts * $7 = $49 of profit. For three pairs of sandals, Melony will make 3 pairs * $42 / pair = $126 of profit. Melony will make a total of $49 + $126 = $175 of profit.
So the answer is 175.
