Question: A department store offers a 10% discount for the amount exceeding $100 of the customer's total charge. Jaco bought a pair of shoes for $74; 2 pairs of socks that cost $2 per pair; a bag that costs $42. How much will Jaco pay for those items?
Answer: Two pairs of socks cost $2 x 2 = $4. Jaco's total charge is $74 + $4 + $42 = $120. The amount that exceeds $100 is $120 - $100 = $20. So, Jaco has $20 x 10 / 100 = $2 discount. Therefore, Jaco will pay $120 - $2 = $118 for those items. The answer is 118.
[Question]At peak season, 6 packs of tuna fish are sold per hour, while in a low season 4 tuna packs are sold per hour. If each tuna pack is sold at $60, How much more money is made in a day during a high season than a low season if the fish are sold for 15 hours?
[Answer]6 packs of tuna fish are sold per hour. If the sales are made for 15 hours, the total number of packs sold is 4 = 6 * 15 = 90 packs. At $60 per pack, during a high season, the total sales in 15 hours are 90 * $60 = $5400. 4 packs of tuna fish are sold per hour. If the sales are made for 15 hours, the total number of packs sold is 4 * 15 = 60 packs. At $60 per pack, during a low season, the total sales in 15 hours are 60 * $60 = $3600. The amount of money that is made after 15 hours during a high season than a low season is $5400 - $3600 = $1800. The answer is 1800.
Q: Annie has some money. The restaurant next door sells hamburgers for $4 each. The restaurant across the street sells milkshakes for $5 each. Annie buys 8 hamburgers and 6 milkshakes. She has $70 left. How much money, in dollars, did Annie have at first?
A: Annie spends 4 * 8 = 32 dollars on hamburgers. Annie spends 5 * 6 = 30 dollars on milkshakes. Annie spends 32 + 30 = 62 dollars on hamburgers and milkshakes. Annie had 62 + 70 = 132 dollars at first. The answer is 132.
Question: A store has an 8% discount on all items. If Shara paid $184 for a pair of shoes, how much did Shara save?
