Question: Can you give me some step-by-step instructions for this math problem: Paulo wants to get a burger meal that costs $6. Aside from that, he also wants to get a soda which costs 1/3 as much as the burger meal. While on the counter, Jeremy asked Paulo to get him 2 of each item Paulo is going to get. How much will they be charged for their orders combined?
Answer: 
They are to order a total of 3 burger meals and 3 sodas for Paulo and Jeremy.
The cost of a soda is $6/3 = $2.
So, the 3 sodas will amount to $2/soda x 3 sodas = $6.
The 3 burger meals will amount to $6/burger x 3 burgers = $18.
Hence, the total cost for their orders is $6 + $18 = $24.
