Q: A vendor bought apples at 2 for $3 and plans to sell them at 5 for $10. He also bought 3 oranges for $2.70 and plans to sell them at $1 each. How much is his profit if he sells 5 apples and 5 oranges?
A: A vendor bought each apple for $3 / 2 = $1.50. He will sell each apple at $10 / 5 = $2 each. His profit for each apple is $2 - $1.50 = $0.50. His total profit for 5 apples is $0.50 x 5 = $2.50. He bought each orange for $2.70 / 3 = $0.90. His profit for each orange is $1 - $0.90 = $0.10. His total profit for 5 oranges is $0.10 x 5 = $0.50. Therefore, his total profit for selling 5 apples and 5 oranges is $2.50 + $0.50 = $3. The answer is 3.
Question: Tim has some cans of soda. Jeff comes by, and takes 6 cans of soda from Tim. Tim then goes and buys another half the amount of soda cans he had left. If Tim has 24 cans of soda in the end, how many cans of soda did Tim have at first?
Answer: Let x be the number of cans Tim has at first. After Jeff comes by, Tim has x - 6 cans left. Tim buys another (x - 6) / 2 cans. x - 6 + (x - 6) / 2 = 24. 2 * x - 12 + x - 6 = 48. 3 * x - 18 = 48. 3 * x = 66. x = 22. The answer is 22.
