Lizzy: Darla has 6 books in her locker. Katie has half as many books as Darla, and Gary has 5 times the number of books that Darla and Katie have combined. How many books do the three have total?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
Darla:6 books. Katie:6 / 2 = 3 books. Gary: 5(6 + 3) = 45 books. 6 + 3 + 45 = 54 books. Final answer: 54.
