How much do 10 seats cost? ** Ten seats amount to $30 x 10 = $<<30*10=300>>300.
How much is the discount? ** So there is $300 x 10/100 = $<<300*10/100=30>>30 discount for each 10 seats purchased.
How much do 10 seats cost? ** Thus, the total cost for every 10 seats is $300 - $30 = $<<300-30=270>>270.
How many seats are being added? ** The school is going to buy 5 x 8 = <<5*8=40>>40 seats.
How many sets of 10 seats are being bought? ** This means that the school is going to buy 40/10 = <<40/10=4>>4 sets of 10 seats.
How much will the school pay for the new seats? ** Therefore, the school will pay a total of $270 x 4 = $<<270*4=1080>>1080 for the new seats
