Leo sold 31 pieces of pottery at the Market. He sold half as many vases as plates. He sold 16 bowls. How many of each kind did Leo sell?

First, we need to subtract the 16 bowls from Leo’s 31 overall sales, leaving us with 15 vases and plates. Since we know he sold only half as many vases as plates, we can conclude that he sold 5 vases and 10 plates, since 10 is half of 5. Let me know if that makes sense!
