A department store offers a 10% discount for the amount exceeding $100 of the customer's total charge. Jaco bought a pair of shoes for $74; 2 pairs of socks that cost $2 per pair; a bag that costs $42. How much will Jaco pay for those items? | Two pairs of socks cost $2 x 2 = $<<2*2=4>>4.
Jaco's total charge is $74 + $4 + $42 = $<<74+4+42=120>>120.
The amount that exceeds $100 is $120 - $100 = $<<120-100=20>>20.
So, Jaco has $20 x 10/100 = $<<20*10/100=2>>2 discount.
Therefore, Jaco will pay $120 - $2 = $<<120-2=118>>118 for those items.

Bianca worked for 12.5 hours last weekend. Celeste worked for twice that amount of time and McClain worked 8.5 hours less than Celeste. How many minutes did the 3 people work in total? | Bianca = <<12.5=12.5>>12.5 hours
Celeste 2 * 12.5 = <<2*12.5=25>>25 hours
McClain = 25 - 8.5 = <<25-8.5=16.5>>16.5 hours
