GWS #32

This is a math problem.

A man was selling strawberries on the side of the road.  He had 8 large boxes.  In each box, he had 4 smaller baskets containing the berries.  Each box costs $10.  If someone wanted to buy the smaller basket, then the basket costs $3.

1)  How many baskets did he have total?
2)  If he sold 2 boxes and 5 baskets, how much money did he make?
3)  Down the street, his sister is selling strawberries too.  Her prices are boxes $11, and baskets $2.  If someone wanted to buy 2 boxes and 5 baskets from her, how much would they pay?
4)  Each of the man's boxes weighed 5lbs (pounds).  How much did all of his boxes weigh?
