[Question]: Hakeem has always loved artichoke dip and plans to make it this weekend. He has $15 dollars to buy artichokes and can find the rest of the ingredients at home. It takes 3 artichokes to make 5 ounces of dip. How many ounces can he make if artichokes cost $1.25 each?
[Answer]: He can buy 12 artichokes because 15 / 1.25 = 12. Each artichoke makes 5 / 3 ounces of dip because there are 3 artichokes per 5 ounces. He can make 20 ounces of dip because 12 x (5 / 3) = 60 / 3 = 20.
So the answer is 20.

[Question]: A school is buying virus protection software to cover 50 devices. One software package costs $40 and covers up to 5 devices. The other software package costs $60 and covers up to 10 devices. How much money, in dollars, can the school save by buying the $60 software package instead of the $40 software package?
[Answer]: There are 50 / 5 = 10 sets of 5 devices in the school. So the school will pay a total of $40 x 10 = $400 for the $40 software package. There are 50 / 10 = 5 sets of 10 devices in the school. So the school will pay a total of $60 x 5 = $300 for the $60 software package. Thus, the school can save $400 - $100 = $300 from buying the $60 software instead of the $40 software package.
So the answer is 100.
