Since a dozen has 12 eggs, the total number of eggs that Addilynn bought is 6 dozen * 12 eggs / dozen = 72 eggs. If she used half of the eggs, the number of eggs left is 72 eggs / 2 = 36 eggs. While moving the eggs to clean the shelves, she broke 15 eggs, leaving 36 eggs - 15 eggs = 21 eggs.
The answer: 21

Reasoning and answer: The number of chairs that are disposed of after they're found to be damaged is 40 / 100 * 80 = 32. The number of chairs in good condition in Kenzo's company is 80 - 32 = 48. The 48 chairs have 48 * 5 = 240 legs. The round tables also have 20 * 3 = 60 legs. In total, the furniture in Kenzo's company has 60 + 240 = 300 legs.
The answer: 300

Reasoning and answer: He's cooking for 8 people and wants to serve 2 scallops per person so he needs 8 * 2 = 16 scallops. 8 jumbo scallops come in 1 pound and he needs 16 scallops so he will need 16 / 8 = 2 pounds of scallops. A pound of scallops weigh $24.00 and he needs 2 pounds so it will cost him 24 * 2 = $48.00 for scallops.
The answer: 48
