For the Birds

By Ruth Schiefen

Lisa had $3.50 to spend on supplies for her bird feeder. She bought a box of oatmeal for seventy cents, sunflower seeds at eighty cents a pound, and two dollars’ worth of suet from the butcher. When she got home she still had forty cents. How can that be?

Answer:

  • She bought only a half pound of sunflower seeds.
