Violet has 3 more than twice as many nails as Tickletoe. If Violet has 27 nails, how many nails do they have together?
Violet has 27-3 = <<27-3=24>>24 nails, twice the number of nails that Tickletoe has.
Therefore, Tickletoe has 1/2*24 = <<1/2*24=12>>12 nails.
Together, Tickletoe and Violet have 12+27 = <<12+27=39>>39 nails
