Q: 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.
A: 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 answer is 128.

Q: Betty and Dora started making some cupcakes at the same time. Betty makes 10 cupcakes every hour and Dora makes 8 every hour. If Betty took a two-hour break, what is the difference between the number of cupcakes they made after 5 hours?
A: Dora made 8 cupcakes per hour for 5 hours for a total of 8 * 5 = 40 cupcakes. Betty took a 2 - hour break so she spent 5 - 2 = 3 hours making cupcakes. Betty made 10 cupcakes per hour for 3 hours for a total of 10 * 3 = 30 cupcakes. The difference between the number of cupcakes they made is 40 - 30 = 10 cupcakes. The answer is 10.
