The man in the yellow hat was working in the chocolate factory. He made 50 cents for every chocolate that he gets into the box but loses 20 cents for each chocolate that his pet monkey, George, pulls from the box and eats. During the first half-hour of work, 26 chocolates came down the assembly line, and the man in the yellow hat earned $6.70. How many chocolates made it into the box and how many chocolates did George eat?
