My question is: A store offers a $2 discount for every $10 purchase on any item in the store. Kataleya went to the store and bought 400 peaches sold at forty cents each. Calculate the total amount of money she paid at the store for the fruits. Your thoughts:
The total cost for the peaches was 400 * $0.40 = $160. The total count of 10 dollar purchases Kataleya received a discount on was $160 / $10 = 16. If each purchase had a $2 discount, the total discount she received is 16 * $2 = $32. She purchased the peaches at $160 - $32 = $128. The final answer: 128.
