Honors 6, Stories A and B

Story A:
Andrea and Karina are having a GREAT time at the mall together.  They want to take pictures in a photo booth.  Andrea spends $2 to make 10 prints from a photo booth with Karina.  They do some further shopping, and they would like more photos later in the afternoon.  Andrea spends $6 to make 30 prints.  Did Andrea get charged the same amount of money both times they entered the photo booth?

Story B:
Belle and Elizabeth go to H&M clothing store.  They find these fanTAStic t-shirts that they absolutely LOVE!  The sale is 3 t-shirts for $21.  But they also find the same color and fit t-shirts at Abercrombie & Fitch where the sale is 5 t-shirts for $35!  If Belle and Elizabeth bought the t-shirts from either store, which store has the better deal?  (Or, does it really matter what store they buy the t-shirts from?)
