Step-by-step reasoning process: Kevin’s full briefcase is 2 * 8 = 16 pounds. His empty briefcase is 8 / 2 = 4 pounds. The contents of his briefcase weigh 16 - 4 = 12 pounds. His work papers weigh 12 / 6 = 2 pounds. Thus, his laptop weighs 12 - 2 = 10 pounds. Therefore, Kevin’s laptop weighs 10 - 8 = 2 pounds more than Karen’s tote.
The question and answer:
Question and answer: Karen’s work tote bag is twice the weight of her husband Kevin’s briefcase when the briefcase is empty. When Kevin puts his laptop and work papers in his briefcase, it is twice the weight of Karen’s tote. Kevin’s work papers are a sixth of the weight of the contents of his full briefcase. If Karen’s tote weighs 8 pounds, how many more pounds does Kevin’s laptop weigh than Karen’s tote?
The answer is 2

Step-by-step reasoning process: 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.
