Q: Avery puts 4 shirts in the donation box. He adds twice as many pants as shirts in the box. He throws in half as many shorts as pants in the box. In total, how many pieces of clothes is Avery donating?
A: The total number of shirts in the donation box is 4. The total number of pants in the donation box is 4 x 2 = 8. The total number of shorts in the donation box is 8 / 2 = 4. The total number of clothes donated is 4 + 8 + 4 = 16 pieces. The answer is 16.

Q: Jenny makes and freezes pans of lasagna all week so she can sell them at the market on the weekend. It costs Jenny $10.00 in ingredients to make 1 pan of lasagna. If she makes and sells 20 pans over the weekend at $25.00 apiece, how much does she make after factoring in expenses?
A: Each pan costs $10.00 to make so for 20 pans, it will cost 10 * 20 = $200.00. She sells each of the 20 pans for $25.00 each so she will make 20 * 25 = $500.00. She makes $500.00 and spent $200.00 on ingredients so she makes 500 - 200 = $300.00. The answer is 300.
