The shoe store was having a buy one get one half-off sale in which the cheaper of the shoes was half price. Janice bought 4 pairs of shoes, 2 were priced $43, and 2 were priced $36. How much did she spend?

Well if the shop was being nice they would put shoes of equal prce together so you would get charged

43+ 43/2+    36 + 36/2     dollars

Do you think both types of shoes are 50% off? Or just the cheaper ones? It sounds to me, that only the cheaper ones are on 50% sale, but not the more expensive ones. If that's the case, then your answer will be different. If my hunch is right, the total cost to her would be:($43 X 2) + ($36/2 X 2)=$122.00.
