James buys 10 shirts and half as many pants. The shirts cost $6 each and the pants cost $8 each. How much did everything cost? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
He bought 10 / 2 = 5 pants. The shirts cost a total of 10 * 6 = $60. The pants cost 8 * 5 = $40. So the total cost was 60 + 40 = $100. So, the answer is 100.
