Question

Young Larry stops by Mr. Smith’s Clothes Store. Mr. Smith sees him and says, “Can I help you?” Young Larry thinks for a minute and says, “Er, yes, good morning, Mr. Smith, I need two green sweaters for 15 dollars each(每一件), a pair of black shoes for 28 dollars, a pair of socks for 2 dollars and three skirts in purple for 20 dollars each.”

Mr. Smith looks at Young Larry in surprise(惊讶). He doesn’t think a child can pay for(支付) them, but he thinks maybe Larry’s mother asks her son to do so. He goes into the store happily and takes out a big bag to put the clothes in. Young Larry stops him and asks, “How much does that come to?”

“One hundred and twenty dollars.” Mr. Smith answers.

“Now, if(如果) I give you two hundred dollars, how much change can I get?” asks Young Larry.

“Eighty dollars.” Mr. Smith answers.

“If I go on to take a yellow jacket for twenty dollars, how much change can I get then?”

“Sixty dollars. That’s for sure. “Mr. Smith answers with a little anger(生气).

“Er, in fact,” Larry says at last, “I don’t want to buy the things. I ask you that just because it’s my math homework, and I need some help. Thank you. Good bye! Mr. Smith!”
