Jenny wants to sell some girl scout cookies and has the choice of two neighborhoods to visit. Neighborhood A has 10 homes which each will buy 2 boxes of cookies. Neighborhood B has 5 homes, each of which will buy 5 boxes of cookies. Assuming each box of cookies costs $2, how much will Jenny make at the better choice of the two neighborhoods? Let's be accurate as possible.

First, we need to determine which neighborhood is the better choice by comparing the number of boxes sold. A has 10 houses which will buy 2 boxes each, meaning A will give Jenny 10 * 2 = 20 box sales. Neighborhood B has 5 homes which will each buy 5 boxes, meaning she will sell 5 * 5 = 25 boxes by going to that neighborhood. Since 25>20, this means Jenny should choose neighborhood B. Since Jenny earns $2 per box sold, this means she will earn 25 * 2 = 50 dollars by choosing neighborhood B.
The answer: 50.
