[Question]A woman needs to buy 16 oz of butter for a dessert recipe. She can either buy a single 16 oz package of the store-brand butter for $7, or she can buy an 8oz package of store butter for $4 and use a coupon to get an additional two 4 oz packages that normally sell for $2.0 each at a 50% discount (which is applied to each 4oz package separately). What is the lowest price she can pay for the 16 oz of butter she needs?
[Answer]If she uses the coupon, she will pay 2 * 0.5 = $1 for each 4oz package. Thus, she will pay 4 + 2 * 1 = $6 in total for the 8oz package and the two 4oz packages she needs to reach 16 oz of butter when using the coupon. Therefore, the lowest amount she can pay is $6, as this is cheaper than the $7 price for a 16 oz package. The answer is 6.

Q: Dustin and Sam are both reading. Dustin can read 75 pages in an hour. Sam can read 24 pages in an hour. How many more pages does Dustin read in 40 minutes compared to Sam?
A: Dustin reads 1.25 pages a minute because 75 / 60 = 1.25. Dustin reads 50 pages in 40 minutes because 40 x 1.25 = 50. Sam reads .4 pages a minute because 24 / 60 = .4. Sam reads 16 pages in 40 minutes because 40 x .4 = 16. Dustin reads 34 more pages than Sam because 50 - 16 = 34. The answer is 34.
