Jame gets 20 singing lessons.  He gets the first lesson free and after the first 10 paid lessons he only needs to pay for every other lesson.  Each lesson is $5.  His uncle pays for half.  How much does James pay?
The first lesson is free.
The lessons 2 to 11 cost 10*$5=$<<10*5=50>>50.
He then had 9 remaining lessons where he had to pay for every other one.
So he pays for lessons 13,15,17&19 = 4 lessons.
Those lessons cost 4*$5=$<<4*5=20>>20.
So in total, the cost was $50+$20=$<<50+20=70>>70.
So he paid $70/2=$<<70/2=35>>35.
