[Question]Crystal wanted to sell everything left in her pastry class before closing for the night. She reduced her $3.00 cupcakes and her $2.00 cookies by half. How much money did she make if she sold the last 16 cupcakes and 8 cookies?
[Answer]She reduced the price of the $3.00 cupcakes by half so they are now 3 / 2 = $1.50. She reduced the price of the $2.00 cookies by half so they are now 2 / 2 = $1.00. She sold 16 cupcakes at $1.50 each so she made = 16 * 1.50 = $24.00. She sold 8 cookies at $1.00 each so she made 8 * 1 = $8.00. She made $24.00 from the cupcakes and $8.00 from the cookies for a total of 24 + 8 = $32.00. The answer is 32.
Q: Sarah is buying Christmas presents for her family. She starts her shopping with a certain amount of money. She buys 2 toy cars for $11 each for her sons. She buys a scarf for $10 for her mother.
