 * The Two Turkeys
 * "I sold those two turkeys," said Tozer.
 * "They weighed $20$ pounds together.
 * Mrs. Burkett paid $24 \shillings 8 \oldpence$ for the large one, and Mrs. Suggs paid $6 \shillings 10 \oldpence$ for the small one.
 * I made $2 \oldpence$ a pound more on the little one than on the other."


 * What did the big one weigh?
