Question 229914: A pet shop buys a litter of puppies for $160. They sell all but four of the puppies. They make $160 off the puppies they sell, and sell each puppy for $20 more than they bought them for. How many puppies were in the litter that the store bought?

Since they make 20 for each puppy sold and they made 160 then:
160/20=8 puppies sold
8+4=12 puppies in the litter.
