Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request in English. Please answer in English.

### Instruction:
Violet has 3 more than twice as many nails as Tickletoe. If Violet has 27 nails, how many nails do they have together?

### Response:
Violet has 27-3 = <<27-3=24>>24 nails, twice the number of nails that Tickletoe has.
Therefore Tickletoe has 1/2*24 = <<1/2*24=12>>12 nails.
The total number of nails they have is 27+12 = <<27+12=39>>39 nails
