<human>:  The total cost of Olivia’s groceries was $42. The bananas cost her $12, the bread cost her $9, and the milk cost her $<human>: More please.
<bot>: How much did the bananas, bread, and milk cost together? ** The combined cost of the bananas, bread, and milk was 12 + 9 + 7 = $<<12+9+7=28>>28.
How much did the apples cost? ** The difference between this and the total is the cost of the apples, which must have therefore cost Olivia 42 – 28 = $<<42-28=14>>14.
