[Question]Mrs. Oaklyn buys handmade rugs at $40 each and sells them at $60 each. If she bought 20 rugs, calculate the profit she will make from selling the rugs.
[Answer]Since she buys one rug at $40 and sells it at $60, she makes a profit of $60 - $40 = $20. If she bought 20 rugs at $40 and sold them at $60 each, she made a profit of 20 * $20 = $400. The answer is 400.
Q: The chicken crossed the road to get to the other side twice for the thrill of it. The first time, it had to dodge 23 speeding cars. The second time, a person tried to catch it and accidentally pulled out twice as many feathers as the number of cars the chicken had dodged. The chicken had 5263 feathers before its thrill-seeking road crossings. How many feathers did it have afterward?
A: The chicken lost 23 * 2 = 46 feathers on its second road crossing. Thus, it had 5263 - 46 = 5217 feathers after crossing the road twice. The answer is 5217.
Question: Farmer Steven needs to load his truck up with compost. His tractor can scoop up compost at a rate of 75 pounds per minute. Steven's son, Darrel, wants to help. Using a shovel, Darrel can scoop up 10 pounds per minute. How much time, in minutes, would it take for the two working together at the same time to load up 2550 pounds of compost into the truck?
Answer: Working together at the same time, the rate at which the two would be able to load compost would be 75 + 10 = 85 pounds / minute. At 85 pounds / minute, the 2550 pounds could be loaded in 2550 / 85 = 30 minutes. The answer is 30.

Q: Peggy has 6 dolls. Her grandmother gives Peggy her own collection of 30 dolls. Over the year, Peggy receives half that amount of dolls between her birthday and Christmas. How many dolls does Peggy now have?
A: Peggy has 6 dolls and her grandmother gave her 30 so that’s 6 + 30 = 36 dolls.

Peggy had 36 dolls and received another 15 for a total of 36 + 15 = 51 dolls. The answer is 51.
