Lizzy: Josh is saving up for a box of cookies. To raise the money, he is going to make bracelets and sell them. It costs $1 for supplies for each bracelet and he sells each one for $1.5. If he makes 12 bracelets and after buying the cookies still has $3, how much did the box of cookies cost?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:

He makes $.5 profit on each bracelet because 1.5 - 1 = .5. He earns $6 because 12 x .5 = 6. The cookies cost $3 because 6 - 3 = 3. Final answer: 3.
