A sign in a store window said "Buy two caps and get a third for half price." If the caps cost $12 each, how much did all 3 caps cost?

$30

Explanation:

Since each cap is $12, and you have to buy two, that equals $24. And when you buy two caps you get the third cap half off, which makes half of $12-> $6. So you take your total from two caps ($24) and add it to the third cap ($6) which will get you $30.
