Q: Andy bakes and sells birthday cakes. To make two cakes he spends $12 on ingredients, and $1 on packaging for each cake. Andy sells each cake for $15. How much money does Andy make for each cake?
A: Spending $12 on ingredients for 2 cakes, he spends 12 / 2 = $6 on ingredients per cake. Adding the cost of packaging, he spends 6 + 1 = $7 per cake. Selling each cake for $15, Andy's profit is 15 - 7 = $8 per cake. The answer is 8.

Q: Zander collected 100 stickers. He gave some of his stickers to his two friends, Andrew and Bill. Andrew received 1/5 of Zander's stickers, while Bill received 3/10 of the remaining stickers. How many stickers did Andrew give to his two friends?
A:
Andrew received 100 x 1 / 5 = 20 stickers. So, there were 100 - 20 = 80 stickers left. Bill received 80 x 3 / 10 = 24 stickers. Therefore, Andrew gave away 20 + 24 = 44 stickers. The answer is 44.
