Hallie is an artist. She wins an art contest, and she receives a $150 prize. She sells 3 of her paintings for $50 each. How much money does she make in total from her art? Give me reasons, before answering the question
The money she earns from selling paintings is 3 * $50 = $150. The total money she makes from her art is $150 + $150 = $300. So the final answer is 300.
