[Question]: Brady will make $450 more in a year than Dwayne. If Dwayne makes $1,500 in a year, how much will Brady and Dwayne make combined in a year?
[Answer]: Brady will make $450 + $1500 = $1950. Combined, Brady and Dwayne will make $1950 + $1500 = $3450 in a year.
So the answer is 3450.

[Question]: The cost of purchasing two commodities is $827. If the purchase price of the first one exceeds the other by $127, what is the purchase price of the first commodity?
[Answer]: Let X be the price of the first commodity, so the price of the second commodity is X - $127. The cost of purchasing two of them is X + (X - $127) = $827. Combining like terms, we get X * 2 - $127 = $827. Subtracting $137 from both sides, we get X * 2 = $954. Dividing both sides by 2, we get X = $477.
So the answer is 477.

[Question]: Cindy tosses 5 dimes into the wishing pond. Eric flips 3 quarters into the pond. Garrick throws in 8 nickels. Ivy then drops 60 pennies in. If Eric dips his hands into the water and pulls out a quarter, how much money, in cents, did they put into the pond?
[Answer]:
Cindy puts in 10 cents x 5 = 50 cents. Eric puts in 3 x 25 cents = 75 cents. Garrick puts in 8 x 5 cents = 40 cents. Ivy puts in 60 x 1 cent = 60 cents. After Eric pulls out a quarter, he has still left in the pond, 75 - 25 = 50 cents. Together, they put into the pond, this amount of money, 50 + 50 + 40 + 60 = 200 cents.
So the answer is 200.
