Question: Two white socks cost 25 cents more than a single brown sock. If two white socks cost 45 cents, how much would you pay for 15 brown socks?
Answer: Two white socks cost 25 cents more than a single brown sock, meaning a brown sock is sold at $0.45 - $0.25 = $0.20. The cost of buying 15 brown socks is 15 * $0.20 = $3. The answer is 3.

Question: The Rotary Club is holding its annual fundraising Omelet Breakfast, with tickets sold in advance. The tickets come in different price levels, for young children, older children, adults, and seniors. This year they sold 53 small children tickets, 35 older children tickets, 75 adult tickets, and 37 senior tickets. To figure out how many eggs they need to buy, the club estimates that small children can eat a half omelet, older children can eat a whole omelet, adults will eat two omelets, and seniors will eat one and a half omelets. Just to be on the safe side, they get enough eggs to make 25 extra omelets. If they use 2 eggs for each omelet, how many eggs will they need to buy?
Answer: They'll need to make an estimated 0.5 * 53 = 26.5 omelets for small children. They'll need to make an estimated 1 * 35 = 35 omelets for older children. They'll need to make an estimated 2 * 75 = 150 omelets for the adults. And they'll need to make an estimated 1.5 * 37 = 55.5 omelets for the seniors. Along with the 25 extra omelets they'll make as a buffer, they will need enough eggs for 26.5 + 35 + 150 + 55.5 + 25 = 292 omelets. So they will need 2 * 292 = 584 eggs. The answer is 584.
