Question

Flip-flop sets are on sale at buy

one, get one half-off. Maria and
Jackie each decide to get a pair.
The flip-flops are priced at $24.00.
If they decide to split the total
evenly, then how much will each
pay?

Answer 1

The answer would be $18. If they were both to get a pair and if you buy one get one half off that would be 24+12=36 since the second pair is half off. Then they split the total evenly so 36/2=18. That means each must pay $18.
