1. The evergreen shrubs at Mr. Green's nursery are planted in rows on a square plot of land measuring 2401 square feet. The shrubs are planted in such a manner that the centers of the shrubs are 7 feet apart and the outer shrubs are planted along the edges of the plot, with a shrub at each corner. Mr. Green spent $896 to cover all the costs necessary for raising this crop of evergreens.
If Mr. Green succeeds in selling each shrub for $35, his profit will be what percent of his total cost?

3. Doria, Libby, Robb, TJ, and Vinny searched the lost and found table. By the time they finished, two gloves (one red, one blue), a blue hat, a striped sweater, and one pair of black sneakers had all made it back to their original owners. Each of the students found one of these missing items.
Libby and TJ both found something with red in it.
TJ and Doria each found a glove.
Vinny was the only one to walk off with something in each hand.
