MARKET DAY<br />
1. At the market, the farmer bought a pig <strong>and</strong> a piglet for $300. If the pig<br />
cost $250 more than the piglet, what did she pay for the pig?<br />
2. When the farmer sold a cow <strong>and</strong> her calf, she received $480. She noticed<br />
that the cow sold for $278 more than the calf. How much did the calf sell<br />
for?<br />
3. The farmer had four sons, aged 12, 14, 15 <strong>and</strong> 16. In their spare time,<br />
they took the vegetables they grew to the market <strong>and</strong> sold them for<br />
$1200. Since they did not all work as hard as each other in the vegetable<br />
garden, they decided to divide the money so that each brother got $100<br />
more than his next younger brother. How much did the youngest brother<br />
get?<br />
