Q: Chloe bought chocolate-dipped strawberries at $50 a dozen. She then sold them for $30 for half a dozen during the Mother's Day celebration. How much is Chloe's profit if she sold 50 dozens?

A: If Chloe bought it for $50 per dozen, then half a dozen cost her $50/2 = $<<50/2=25>>25.
This means that she has $30 - $25 = $<<30-25=5>>5 profit per half a dozen of chocolate-dipped strawberries.
If Chloe sold 50 dozens, then she was able to sell 50/ 1/2 = 100 half a dozen chocolate-dipped strawberries.
Hence, her profit is $5 x 100 = $<<5*100=500>>500. The answer is  500.
