Answer this question:John bakes 12 coconut macaroons, each weighing 5 ounces. He then packs an equal number of the macaroons in 4 different brown bags, ready for delivery. When he briefly leaves the kitchen to pick the phone, his little brother Steve eats the entire contents of one of the brown bags. What is the total weight, in ounces, of the remaining coconut macaroons?
Each brown bag has 12 / 4 = 3 macaroons. After Steve eats a bag, there are 12 - 3 = 9 macaroons left. The total weight is therefore 9 * 5 = 45 ounces.
The answer is 45.

She also wants to monogram each stocking at $5.00 per stocking so that's 9 * 5 = $45.00. The stockings are $162.00 and the monogramming will cost $45.00 so the stockings will cost 162 + 45 = $207.00.
The answer is 1035.
