Consider the question. Lisa and Carly go shopping together. Lisa spends $40 on t-shirts then spends half of this amount on jeans and twice this amount on coats. Carly spends only a quarter as much as Lisa on t-shirts but spends 3 times as much on jeans and a quarter of the amount Lisa spent on coats. In dollars, how much did Lisa and Carly spend in total?
 What is the step-by-step reasoning process to arrive at the answer: 230?
Lisa spends $40 on t - shirts / 2 = $20 on jeans. She also spends $40 on t - shirts * 2 = $80 on coats. So Lisa has spent a total of 40 + 20 + 80 = $140. Carly spends $40 / 4 = $10 on t - shirts. She also spends $20 per pair of jeans * 3 = $60 on jeans. She then also spends $80 Lisa’s cost for coats / 4 = $20 on coats. So Carly has spent a total of 10 + 60 + 20 = $90. Lisa and Carly have therefore spent a total of 140 + 90 = $230.
