Shopping   Frenzy

By Zhong Wanting

 Fiona and Cindy went for their Christmas shopping at Puzzie’s Gift Boutique. It was on sale in the shop, hence they decided to empty their pockets ‘a little bit’ there.

 They looked around the shop and chose three kinds of articles: lavender photo albums, Sukar Super Sweet Packages and Connie’s Every Season Magic Cards. Fiona spent 16 dollars buying two albums, one package and one deck of cards. Meanwhile, Cindy bought an album, two packages and a deck of cards for 14 dollars.

 Just as they were about to leave, laden with bags, a small voice chortled at them, making them jump. ‘Hiya, Fiona, Cindy! Are you doing your Christmas shopping? I’m just hanging ar---Hey! Sukar Super Sweets Package? Connie’s Every Season Magic Cards? Wow! I think I’m gonna land my hands on some, too!’

 It was Clementine, a tiny, cheery talkative girl. She beamed mischievously at them. ‘Um… I guess I’ll need 3 packages and a deck of card. Um… how much would I need to pay?’

 Fiona and Cindy had the great advantage of knowing the price of each kind of product, so it was just a multiply-and-add thing. However, given only the circumstances in the story, can you tell how much would Clementine have to pay?
