George went to a movie theater to see a movie. He paid $16 for the ticket and decided to buy some nachos. The nachos were half the price of the ticket. How much did George pay in total for the visit to the movie theater? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
The nachos cost was 16 / 2 = $8. So in total George paid 8 + 16 = $24 during the whole visit. So, the answer is 24.
