My question is: A candy store sold 20 pounds of fudge for $2.50/pound, 5 dozen chocolate truffles for $1.50 each and 3 dozen chocolate-covered pretzels at $2.00 each. How much money did the candy store make? Your thoughts:

20 pounds of fudge at $2.50 / pounds is 20 * 2.50 = $50.00. The 5 dozen truffles were sold in individual units so a dozen is equal to 12 so 5 * 12 = 60. 60 chocolate truffles, at $1.50 each sold for 60 * 1.50 = $90.00. The 3 dozen chocolate pretzels sold in individual units so a dozen is equal to 12 so 3 * 12 = 36. 36 chocolate pretzels sold for $2.00 each sold for 36 * 2 = $72.00. All total, the store made 50 + 90 + 72 = $212.00 from candy sales. The final answer: 212.
