Q: Sean designs and sells patches. He orders his patches in a unit of 100 and is charged $1.25 per patch. If he turns around and sells all 100 patches for $12.00 each, what is his net profit?
A: He orders 100 patches and they cost $1.25 each so the patches are 100 * 1.25 = $125.00. He sells each of the 100 patches for $12.00 each so he makes 100 * 12 = $1,200.00. He makes $1,200.00 selling patches and spends $125.00 to have them made so his net profit is 1200 - 125 = $1,075.00. The answer is 1075.

Q: The total age of the people in Kaydence's family is 200. If Kaydence's father is 60 years old, Kaydence's mother 2 years younger than Kaydence's father, Kaydence's brother 1/2 the age of Kaydence's father, and Kaydence's sister 40 years old, how old is Kaydence?
A:
If Kaydence's father is 60 years old, her mother is 60 - 2 = 58 years old. The total age of the mother and father is 60 + 58 = 118 years. Kaydence's brother is half the father's age, which is 1 / 2 * 60 = 30 years. The total age of Kaydence's father, mother, and brother is 30 + 118 = 148 years. If you add Kaydence's sister's age to the total age of the father, mother, and brother, you get 148 + 40 = 188 years. If everyone's age in the family is 200, then Kaydence's age is 200 - 188 = 12 years old. The answer is 12.
