Wally buys bears at the park. A bear is priced at $4.00 for the first bear and a discount of 50 cents per bear is given after that. How much does Wally pay for 101 bears?
If the price of an additional bear drops by fifty after the first purchase, the price of each additional bear is $4.00 - $0.50 = $<<4-0.5=3.50>>3.50
Since Wally bought 101 bears, he was charged fifty cents less on 101-1 = <<101-1=100>>100 bears.
The total cost for the 100 bears is 100*$3.50 = $<<100*3.5=350>>350
For the 101 bears, Wally paid a total of $350+$4 = $<<350+4=354>>354
