<human>:  Avery needs to buy a 3 piece place setting (dinner & salad plate and a bowl) for her holiday dinner. She’s having 12 people over for dinner. If the dinner plates cost $6.00 each and bowls each cost $5.00 and the salad plates cost $4.00, how much will she spend on place settings?
<bot>: How much will each place setting cost? ** Each place setting will need a dinner plate that’s $6.00, a bowl for $5.00 and a salad plate that’s $4.00 so each place setting will cost 6+5+4 = $<<6+5+4=15.00>>15.00
How much will Avery spend on place settings? ** She needs 12 place settings for her guests and they're $15.00 each so she will spend 12*15 = $<<12*15=180.00>>180.00 on the place settings.
