Default Difficult Homework Problem...

My daughter had this math problem for homework this afternoon, can anyone help her solve it?

You make $10 babysitting and use it to buy lollipops at $1 each. Then your parents move overseas where you make $13.33 babysitting, but lollipops cost $1.40 each.

Assuming you really enjoy lollipops, are you better off before or after the move?

I'm thinking about hiring a tax consultant to help her solve it
