Question: A garden produced 237 potatoes, 60 fewer cucumbers and twice as many peppers than the cucumbers. How many vegetables did the garden produce?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: The garden produced 237 potatoes - 60 = 177 cucumbers. The garden produced 177 cucumbers * 2 peppers / cucumber = 354 peppers. The garden produced 237 potatoes + 177 cucumbers + 354 peppers = 768 vegetables.
So the answer is 768.


Question: Niko has bought 9 pairs of socks that cost $2 each and plans to resell them. He wants to gain 25% profit from four of the pairs of socks and $0.2 profit each for the other 5 pairs of socks. How much will his total profit be?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Niko will earn $2 x 25 / 100 = $0.5 profit for each of the first four pairs of socks. So, his total profit for the four pairs of socks will be $0.5 x 4 = $2. His total earnings for the 5 pairs of socks is $0.2 x 5 = $1. Therefore, his total profit will be $2 + $1 = $3.
So the answer is 3.


Question: Dana Point beach has four times the number of sharks as Newport Beach. If Newport Beach has 22 sharks, how many sharks are there in total on the two beaches?
