Your aunt Laura, the “candy connoisseur” and “part-time scientist” has innovated a new way to make candy that has different flavors. For example, she has discovered a way to make candy that taste like chocolate ice cream, hot dogs with ketchup, and peanut butter and jelly. She would like to share her new type of candy with the public by offering them free samples in stores. She hopes that by offering free samples, they will like them so much that they will go out and buy them by the jars and make her rich and famous. However, she needs someone to “invent” for her a candy dispenser. What statement best describes the problem?

• Aunt Laura has made several different flavors of candy.

• Your Aunt Laura needs someone to invent a candy dispenser for her.

• Aunt Laura wants to give the public free candy.

• She cannot invent things because she is only a "part-time" scientist.
