Q: In a math test, Mark scored twice as much as the least score. If the highest score is 98 and the range of the scores is 75, what was Mark's score?

[Answer]He has $2 in $1 bills because 2 times 1 equals 2. He has $5 in $5 bills because 1 times 5 equals 5. He has $3.25 in quarters because 13 times .25 equals 3.25.

[Question]A store sold a certain brand of jeans for $40. They only have few pairs of jeans left so they decided to give 10% discount on every two pairs of jeans bought by a customer at any one time. How much will a customer pay for 3 pairs of jeans?
[Answer]
Two pairs of jeans cost $40 x 2 = $80. A discount of $80 x 10 / 100 = $8 will be given for this. Hence, the cost of two pairs of jeans will now be $80 - $8 = $72. Therefore, the customer will pay $72 + $40 = $112 for the three pairs of jeans. The answer is 112.
