Joe buys 3 oranges, 7 juices, 3 jars of honey, and 4 plants at the market. The fruit costs $4.50 each, the juice was 50 cents each, the jars of honey were $5, and the plants were 2 for $18. How much does Joe spend at the market? Give me reasons, before answering the question
Joe spends 4.50 * 3 = 13.50 on oranges. Joe spends 7 * 0.5 = 3.50 on juice. Joe spends 3 * 5 = 15 on honey. Each plant costs 18 / 2 = 9 dollars. Joe spends 9 * 4 = 36 on plants. Joe spends a total of 13.50 + 3.50 + 15 + 36 = 68 dollars at the market. So the final answer is 68.
