One of the clubs at Georgia's school was selling carnations for a fundraising event. A carnation costs $0.50. They also had a special where you could buy one dozen carnations for $4.00. If Georgia sent a dozen carnations to each of her 5 teachers and bought one carnation for each of her 14 friends, how much money would she spend?
Please answer and provide answer explanation.

She wants to send a dozen carnations that cost $4 / dz to each of her 5 teachers, so 4 * 5 = $20.

She has 14 friends and she knows a dozen carnations is cheaper than buying 12 single carnations.

So 14 - 12 = 2 single carnations are needed.

A single carnation cost $0.

50 so 2 *.

50 = $1.

00.

All total she will spend 20 + 4 + 1 = $25.

00 on carnations.

.

So, the answer is 25
