### Instruction:
For the gala luncheon planning committee, Margaret wants to serve chicken salad sandwiches using mini croissants.  She wants there to be enough food that each person on the committee can have 2 sandwiches each.  Her bakery offers 12 minis croissants for $8.00.  There are 24 people on the committee. How much will she spend on croissants?

### Response:
She wants 2 sandwiches per person and there are 24 people on the committee so she needs 2*24 = <<2*24=48>>48 sandwiches
Her bakery sells the croissants by the dozen and she needs 48 croissants so she needs 48/12 = <<48/12=4>>4 dozen croissants
A dozen croissants costs $8.00 and she needs 4 dozens so it will costs 8*4 = $<<8*4=32.00>>32.00
