Problems. 



1. A flock of 60 hens average 80 eggs a year each. 

 With eggs worth 1 5 cents per dozen, what is the value 

 of these eggs? 



2. How many bushels of corn will this buy at 40 

 cents per bushel? Of oats at 25 cents? 



3. Suppose it takes only 12 bushels of corn, 5 

 bushels of oats and $7 worth of other food to keep 

 this flock for one year, besides what they pick up for 

 themselves. What is the profit over and above the 

 cost of the feed? 



4. What would have been the profit if they had 

 laid 1 20 eggs each, instead of 80? 



5. Ask pupils to furnish data for at least twenty 

 other similar problems.
