conversations.value: I would love to understand how to solve this problem: Jake is shopping at a clothing store. The store has a buy one get one 50% off deal on T-shirts. Jake buys 2 T-shirts. The original price of each T-shirt is $8. Then, Jake buys a pair of shoes that is 40% off the original price. The original price of the shoes is $40. What is the total amount of money Jake spends at the store?
  Can you explain?

conversations.value: The cost of a T-shirt after 50% is taken off of the original price is $8 * 0.50 = $4
  The total cost of the T-shirts is $8 + $4 = $12
  The amount of money taken off from the original price of the shoes is $40 * 0.40 = $16
  The cost of the shoes after the sale is $40 - $16 = $24
  The total amount of money Jake spends at the store is $12 + $24 = $36
