conversations.value: I need help with this problem:
  Crystal wanted to sell everything left in her pastry class before closing for the night.  She reduced her $3.00 cupcakes and her $2.00 cookies by half.  How much money did she make if she sold the last 16 cupcakes and 8 cookies?

conversations.value: She reduced the price of the $3.00 cupcakes by half so they are now 3/2 = $1.50
  She reduced the price of the $2.00 cookies by half so they are now 2/2= $1.00
  She sold 16 cupcakes at $1.50 each so she made = 16*1.50 = $24.00
  She sold 8 cookies at $1.00 each so she made 8*1 = $8.00
  She made $24.00 from the cupcakes and $8.00 from the cookies for a total of 24+8 = $32.00
