Answer the following question, with explanation first.
John's dog has a litter of 8 puppies. He gives away half of them. He keeps one of the remaining puppies. He then takes the remaining puppies and sells them each for $600. He had to give the owner of the stud $300. How much money does he profit?

1500
He had 8 / 2 = 4 left after giving some puppies away.

He then keeps one so he sells 4 - 1 = 3 puppies.

That means he made 3 * 600 = $1800.

So his profit was 1800 - 300 = $1500.

.

Final answer: 1500
