For Mother's Day last year, Kyle picked a dozen roses from his garden, but this year, he was only able to pick half the number of roses.

This year, Kyle was only able to pick 12 / 2 = 6 roses. He wants to give his mother 12 x 2 = 24 roses. He still needs another 24 - 6 = 18 roses. He would have to spend 18 x 3 = $54. The answer: 54.
