[Question]The dog toys Samantha buys for her dog are "buy one get one half off" and all cost $12.00 each. She buys 4 toys. How much does she spend on dog toys?
[Answer]If she buys 1 toy at $12.00 she gets the 2nd toy 1 / 2 off, the 2nd toy is 12 * .5 = $6.00. 1 full - priced toy is $12.00 and 1 / 2 priced toy is $6.00 so these 2 toys come to 12 + 6 = $18.00. She buys 2 more toys that are "buy one get one 1 / 2 off" so all total she spends 2 * 18 = $36.00. The answer is 36.
Q: Frank went to a shop to buy some food for his breakfast. He bought 10 buns for $0.1 each, two bottles of milk, for $2 each, and a carton of eggs, which was three times more expensive than one bottle of milk. How much did Frank pay for his breakfast shopping?
A: For the buns, Frank paid 10 * 0.1 = $1. He bought two bottles of milk, for $2 each, so he paid for them 2 * 2 = $4. One carton of eggs was three times more expensive than one bottle of milk, so it cost 3 * 2 = $6. So for all his shopping Frank had to pay 1 + 4 + 6 = $11. The answer is 11.
Question: Teairra has 5 shirts and 24 pairs of pants in her closet. If 3 of Teairra's shirts are plaid and 5 of Teairra's pants are purple, how many shirts and pants does Teairra has which are neither plaid nor purple?
