conversations.value: I need a clearer understanding of how to solve: Hillary always buys the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday editions of the local newspaper for $0.50 each.  On Sunday, she spends $2.00 to get that copy.  How much does she spend on the newspaper over 8 weeks?

conversations.value: She buys Wednesday, Thursday and Friday's paper for $0.50 each so that's 3*.50 = $1.50
  She spends $1.50 for the weekday papers and $2.00 for the Sunday paper for a total of 1.5+2 = $3.50 a week
  Over 8 weeks she spends 8*3.5 = $28.00
