Q: Patsy is gearing up for this weekend’s graduation. She needs to have 6 appetizers per each of her 30 guests. She’s making 3 dozen deviled eggs, 2 dozen pigs in a blanket and 2 dozen kebabs. How many more dozen appetizers does she need to make?
A: She needs 6 appetizers per each of her 30 guests so she needs 6 * 30 = 180 appetizers. She’s made 3 dozen deviled eggs, 2 dozen pigs in a blanket and 2 dozen kebabs so she’s made 3 + 2 + 2 = 7 dozen appetizers. 7 dozen appetizers is 7 * 12 = 84 appetizers. She needs 180 appetizers and has made 84 so she needs 180 - 84 = 96 appetizers. 96 appetizers, in dozens, is 96 / 12 = 8 dozen more appetizers. The answer is 8.

Einstein collected 15 x $12 = $180 for selling pizzas. He collected 40 x $0.30 = $12 for the 40 packs of potato fries. He collected 25 x $2 = $50 for the 25 cans of soda. Thus, the total amount section Einstein collected was $180 + $12 + $50 = $242. Therefore, Einstein needs $500 - $242 = $258 more to reach the goal. The answer is 258.
