Question: Solve the math problem: Jeff owns a catering company.  During a recent event, he sent 8 dozen glasses and 4 dozen plates for the party.  When they were returned, 10 glasses were broken as well as 6 plates.  How many glasses and plates does Jeff have now?
Answer: 
He had 8 dozen glasses so he had 8*12 = 96 glasses
He had 4 dozen plates so he had 4*12 = 48 plates
10 glasses were broken and he started with 96 so he now has 96-10= 86 glasses
6 plates were broken and he started with 48 so he now has 48-6 = 42
All total he has 86 glasses and 42 plates so 86+42 = 128 glasses and plates
