    3/5 of 1600 = $960 spent for heavy duty tapes

    1600 - 960 = $640 spent for regular tapes

    The company normally bought

    960 : 30 = 32 heavy duty tapes

    640 : 20 = 32 regular tapes

    With the new prices, the company is paying

    32 * 28 = 896 for the heavy duty tapes

    32 * 19 = 608 for the regular tapes

    The company is saving

    960 - 896 = $64 for the heavy duty tapes

    640 - 608 = $32 for the regular tapes
