Lucille made an agreement with her mom that she would earn six cents for every weed she pulled in her mom's garden. There are eleven weeds in the flower bed, fourteen in the vegetable patch, and thirty-two in the grass around the fruit trees. Lucille weeded the flower bed, the vegetable patch, and half the grass before she took a break. She bought a soda for 99 cents on her break with some of her earnings. How many cents does Lucille have left? Give me reasons, before answering the question
Lucille weeded half the grass, so she pulled 32 / 2 = 16 weeds around the fruit frees. She pulled 11 + 14 + 16 = 41 weeds before her break. From that, she earned 41 * 6 = 246 cents. After buying her soda, Lucille has 246 - 99 = 147 cents left. So the final answer is 147.
