Zack sold 3 of his old hockey sticks at Refreeze Secondhand Sports Shop. Before he left, he spent $25 of his earnings on a used pair of hockey gloves. He had $71 remaining. How much did Zack receive for each hockey stick?
$
Zack earned $71 + $25 = $<<71+25=96>>96 from selling his hockey sticks.
Therefore, $96 / 3 = $<<96/3=32>>32 was received for each hockey stick. Answer: \boxed{32}.
